Clayton Hawkins on How to Recreate Addison Rae’s Academy Museum Gala Red Carpet ‘Va Va Voom Vibes’

12/04/2023

All eyes on Addison Rae. The social media star, singer and “Thanksgiving” actress wowed on the 2023 Academy Museum Gala red carpet looking better than the establishment thanks in large part to celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins and makeup artist Leah Darcy. The look was fresh. And the hair, which Rae wore down, was anything but fussy. Center-parted with lift and body.

The Tease got in touch with Hawkins via DM on Instagram and he graciously shared how he created this hairstyle, including exactly which products he used. Yes, velcro rollers were involved. Keep scrolling for more.

Get the Look:

  1. “I blew out the front sections of Addison’s hair with SexyHair Big Altitude Bodifying Blow Dry Mousse and set in velcro rollers.
  2. Then I went in section by section and loosely curled her hair with a 2.25 inch large iron.
  3. Once the hair was all set, I sprayed a generous amount of Living Proof Full Dry Volume and Texture Spray throughout for added lift. And a tiny bit of Dove Serum-In-Oil on the ends for added shine. The result is sexy, effortless, va va voom vibes.”
