Get the Look: Nicole Kidman 2016 Critic’s Choice Awards

December 14, 2016 by Juliann

A few nights ago, at the 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards held at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar in California, Nicole Kidman shined on the red carpet in her gorgeous gown and sleek hair style. Her go-to hairstylist, Kylee Heath, used her favorite professional haircare products to create this glamorous and sophisticated look.

Hairstylist: Kylee Heath

Inspiration: “The dress, we wanted to keep the hair classic, but also modern and sleek”

Style: Middle part low twisted knot with the hair fanned out to the side

“I started off by applying Surface Hair Blowout Gel Mousse to Nicole’s roots and Pravana Intense Therapy Detangler to the ends. Then I combed the product evenly through the hair.

Next, I blow-dried the hair using the Ella Bella Professional Iconic Hair Dryer and my Aimike 1.75″ round brush to really smooth out the hair.

At the crown, I blow-dried the hair in an upward motion to give it more lift.

Once the hair was dry, I smoothed out the hair from midshaft to end with my favorite smoothing professional styling iron.

I warmed my favorite molding cream in my hands and used it to smooth out ends, tame flyaways and to lay down the cuticle.

Then, I pulled all of Nicole’s hair back low at the nape of her neck, twisted the hair around my hand and secured it using small bobby pins leaving the ends of the hair out so that they fanned out toward the side

Next, I sprayed Abba Firm Finish hairspray for hold and added shine.

Last, we decided to pull two small pieces of hair from the front for added softness.”

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
