Emmy Pick: Emily Blunt

If there was anyone that stood out for me during last night’s Emmy awards, it had to be the beautiful Emily Blunt–who was there accompanying her husband John Krasinski from The Office. Emily donned an elegant lavender chiffon Dior gown accented with a Lauren Merkin snake print clutch.

To top off her gorgeous attire, Emily asked Laini Reeves–her long-time hairstylist who also did her her hair for the wedding, to style her hair for the evening. The result? A sophisticated look inspired by the iconic finger waved hairstyles of the 1920s. “We wanted to create a look that was very different from any that Emily had worn before,” said Reeves. “Once I saw the gown, I knew that a modern look based on the waved looks of the ’20s was the perfect compliment for the design.” She made a low side-part on the right, pincurled hair while wet and misted it with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray on wet hair. Once hair had air-dried, she released the pincurls and gently brushed the hair back, pinning it at the nape of the neck for texture and accenting the style with a diamond hair accessory. [stylelist]
