Lupita Nyong'o's Purple Hair — The Exact Inspiration Behind The Look
Lupita's hair was styled by . He told HollywoodLife.com:
"Lupita Nyong'o — the most beautiful woman in the world. This woman is so inspiring to me! After seeing her Prada dress and Cartier headpiece, I knew I had to make her hair something special. I love this French roll because it has a regal feel to it. To make the look modern, I colored her hair in a purple hue to compliment the green feathers and stones in the dress.
To achieve this look, I started off with ultimate shine products and rubbed those into her hair. I then added pieces for the French roll, connecting the extensions with gel and hairspray. As always, I finished off the look with holding spray to keep it all in place. Lupita proves that no matter your hair texture, color, or length — hair is art!"
Lupita Nyong'o's Neutral Mani — Her Exact Polish
Celebrity manicurist told HollywoodLife.com about the look:
"Lupita's dress was a beautiful green, which offered a nice contrast to the hint of purple in her hair and makeup. We felt a full purple would be right on the nails. We then created a modern effect, layering green underneath iridescent lilac, allowing the nails to change colors as she moved. We matched the fingers to the toes and finished with a super shiny top-coat. Her hunter green shoes sparkled with jewels and the dress was so spectacularly glitzy, it created a beautiful effect!"
To get the look, start with a deep hunter green polish. To get Lupita's custom look, layer on an iridescent lavender shade. Seal with a top coat.
