Jennifer Hudson is not one to disappoint when it comes to the red carpet. The singer, actress, and spokesperson fully represented the Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology theme at Monday night’s Met Gala in NYC. Donning an H&M fantasy gown, her hair stole the show with a straight, sleek razor-cut edgy ‘do capturing the true essence of the Gala.

Jennifer’s style was achieved by Mizani Globa Artistic Director, Ceasar Ramirez by, “clip(ing) in pieces of Indique pure straight hair and prepped with the Mizani Thermasmooth System, which helped to achieve a smooth sleek look while heat protecting. Once dried and flat ironed I went in and texturized with a razor to create an edgier feel. To really bring out the texture I ran a dime size of Mizani Edge Taming Gel reducing weight on her sides while pumping up volume on top. Making sure the ends we’re very piecey, I finished with Mizani HRM Spray for hold. The completed look took about an hour.”

This is definitely an easy look to recreate. Will you try it?
