“Anna’s hair is naturally curly and fine, but she has a lot of it,” celebrity hairstylist Craig Gangi tells Us Weekly. “Curly hair tends to be dry so one of my favorite products for her is the Leonor Greyl L’Huile de Leonor Greyl.” The Oscar-nominated actress smoothed the oil over her hair the night before, then washed it out the next morning. “[It] softened Anna’s hair and gave it instant shine,” Gangi says.

Once Kendrick got in the chair, the stylist, who also works with Missi Pyle and Susan Sarandon, used Leonor Greyl Eclat Naturel styling cream to both nourish the hair and add texture. He also added a touch of Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice at the roots for lift.

Gangi blew out the Trolls star’s hair in two-inch sections using a round brush, pinning each one up for five minutes “to create volume [without] curl.” He brushed out the curls, then spritzed with Leonor Greyl Voluforme to lock the style in place.

“After brushing it all out, I gave her a side part and pushed her hair behind her ears to show off her beautiful shoulders and the gorgeous strapless [Calvin Klein] dress,” the stylist explains. The end result? “A Parisian woman leaving a salon after getting a great blowout.”

As for Kendrick’s blushing beauty — particularly those rosy cheeks — celeb makeup artist Vanessa Scali started with Physicians Formula #InstaReady Beauty Balm BB Cream. She then applied Super BB #InstaReady Contour Trio BB Stick in Blush right on the apples. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Shadow & Liner in Glam Nude added a touch of shimmer to the eye lids, while the Physicians Formula Eye Booster Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit offered created those lush lashes.
