If you’re looking for Cameron, Julianne or Sofia’s color, ask your colorist to use the below formula’s. If you’re looking for step-by-step’s for each color-complementing hairstyle, Rodney Cutler, Redken Brand Ambassador, tells us how to achieve each actresses’ red carpet look.
- Charlize Theron: Tracey applied Redken Blonde Dimensions, added some lowlights with Shades EQ Cream and finished with Shades EQ Conditioning Color Gloss to create a beautiful blonde look.
“The key to achieving this low 1920’s inspired look is maintaining the natural texture to allow the beautiful blonde highlights to really pop. It is flatter on top, making the retro look overall more modern and sophisticated. The style also needs to complement the headpiece, and the hairband look was definitely a trend at the show this year.” -Rodney Cutler
To achieve a similar look, Rodney recommends following the below steps:
- Set the hair in a traditional barrel roll with a 1.5 inch curling iron, using Redken spray starch 15 to prep, and then brush it out with a flat brush so that it creates a airy finish.
- Create a fold at the back that is rolled into itself and secure with pins. The key is that it is up and away from the shoulder and off set to one side which balances off the neckline and adds softness around the shoulders.
- For hold but to maintain the texturized matte finish, end with a light spray of Redken fashion work 12 versatile working spray.
- Emma Stone: Tracey applied Redken Shades EQ Cream to achieve rich, radiant color and stunning shine without the major commitment of a permanent color service.

To achieve a similar look, Rodney recommends following the below steps:
- Blow-dry hair with satin wear 02 ultimate blow-dry lotion using a flat brush.

- Sofia Vergara: Tracey applied Redken Blonde Dimensions and finished with Shades EQ Gloss to create a stunning ombre effect.
