GET THE LOOK: Gugu Mbatha-Raw at the MET Ball

May 4, 2016 by Juliann

The Met Gala was Monday, but I still have all of those dazzling celebrity looks still dancing in my mind. 

Gugu Mbatha-Raw, best known for her recent role in Concussion alongside actor, Will Smith, illuminated the red carpet at the most fashion forward event: The MET Ball,Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology. Gugu blew me away in Gabriela Hearst with a Simple, Sexy Hair Knot styled by Schwarzkopf ULTIME celebrity hairstylist, Richard Collins. Below, you can find the step-by-step on how to recreate her effortless ambiance!

 

Step 1: Start by applying Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Satin Frizz Control Heat Protection Spray to damp hair and blow dry for from root to tip.

Step 2: Using 1 or 1 ½ inch flat iron, depending on hair type, straighten all sections of hair, applying pea size amounts of Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Amino-Q Hold Gel for any flyaways. Pull hair back and secure in a low ponytail.

Step 3: Divide the hair into two pieces, start with one side by folding the hair up and securing with bobby pins. Repeat on opposite side to create a simple, sexy knot. Finish and secure the look with Schwarzkopf styliste Amino-Q Hold Hair Spray.

Schwarzkopf ULTIME products are available in retailers nationwide for $6.97- $7.99 each.

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.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

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.
