Kate Beckinsale has been traveling the world promoting her new film Total Recall, donning beautiful gowns and glamorous hairstyles. This stunning actress is forever the picture of feminine elegance.

One of her latest red carpet looks is the perfect “do” to take you from daytime dates to evening soirees. Ms. Bekinsale’s locks were swept up in a relaxed and textured chignon with wispy strands framing her face – effortless style.

Replicate Kate’s hairstyle by following these simple steps…

1. Begin by running a volume-enhancing mousse through towel-dried hair to create texture and minimize frizz.


2. Throw your head upside down and give your hair a quick blow-wave so that your hair is about eighty percent dry.


3. To create a natural looking wave, take small sections on your hair and twist them around your finger into a coil, securing with hairpins.


4. Once your hair is dry (you can speed up the process by using a hair dryer), unravel the twists and run your hands through you hair to loosen the curls.


5. Lightly tease the roots of your hair focusing on the crown of your head for additional volume.


6. Loosely pull your hair back to just above the nap of your neck, and fashion a simple English braid (leave a few strands free to frame your face and create a softness to the look).


7. Roll the ends of the braid under at the nape of the neck and secure with hairpins.


8. Complete the look by spraying hairspray on your fingers, and gently running them through your loose locks and up-do to add texture and lift the look.


9. Set the style with a spritz of hairspray.

Voila! Dishevelled beauty!
