Sleek chic Ariana DeBoseThe 2022 Tony Awards were held on Sunday, June 12. She wore a glassy, side-swept hairstyle and her hairstylist to the red carpet. Takisha Sturdivant-DrewLet UsLearn the secrets to style.
DeBose was there for the big moment. The ceremony was not only significant for DeBose. West Side Story star the host for Broadway’s biggest night, she opened the show with a high energy mash-up of show tunes celebrating diversity and inclusivity.
Sturdivant Drew and the 31-year old LGBTQIA+ activist opted for a look to complement her sequin gown. “Ariana’s Hugo Boss dress was giving classic glamour with a modern and sexy twist, so naturally I had to edge up her hair,” the hair pro tells Us. She chose to do “a sleek and sexy hairstyle with a pop of color.”
After the actress had washed her hair, Sturdivant-Drew ran a dollop of Tresemmé One Step Smooth Cream from roots through ends “to give the hair a glossy shine, frizz control, softness color vibrancy and heat protection.”
Next, she put in blonde clip-in extensions from her TSD Hair Extensions brand before blow drying. After prepping locks with Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Spray, Sturdivant-Drew used a dryer and comb attachment to “smooth the hair well before using a flat iron to sleek it out even more.
How can a hairstyle endure the New York City heat, hot lights on the red-carpet and the rigors of a song and dance routine? Sturdivant-Drew locked in the look with a spritz of Tresemmé Total Volume Hair Spray, then tacked down the tiny hairs at the back with a small brush and Tresemmé Tres Two Extra Hold Gel to “ensure there were no flyaways,” she says.
DeBose opted for sultry, pumped-up neutral makeup. This included smoky cat eye and a stunning glossy pinky-nude lips. Andrea Tiller, a Lancome makeup artist, created the look. She used the brand’s 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Brun Adore, Drama Liqui-Pencil in Café Noir and L’Absolu Lacquer in Infra-Rose.
