My girl crush Katy Perry left whimsy behind for this week's Met Gala appearance. Her architectural gown jived nicely with the chic and glamorous hairstyle created by Pasquale Ferrante of New York's ION Studio. Read on for a bit of exclusive scoop on Katy's Met Gala look:
e4s: What was your inspiration for the look?
PF: Cleopatra. She’s a beautiful, strong, and independent woman just like Katy.
e4s: How involved was Katy in the direction for the hair?
PF: Katy was very involved in the direction of the hair. She is fantastic to work with because she knows what she wants, but is also open to developing her vision with both myself and her makeup artist. I think her look really came together, evoking Cleopatra – the dress really chose her. She looked beautiful.
e4s: Any key products or techniques to get the look?
PF: I used a variety of Davines products. After washing her hair, I sprayed in Dede Leave-in Conditioner and added Defining Volume Mousse for extra volume. After blow drying her hair straight, I used a 1 ½ inch curling iron to add volume and depth to her ends. To finish, I secured the style by spraying Defining Invisible Hairspray.
To win a set of the Davines products that Pasquale Ferrante used to create Katy Perry's gorgeous look, leave a comment below telling me one of your hair woes. One lucky winner will be chosen at random next Wednesday night!
UPDATE: THE WINNER IS MARIA OF I FEEL PRETTY. CONGRATS!
