How to Get ‘Summer House’ Star Mia Calabrese’s Frizz-Proof 2026 VMAs French Roll

09/30/2026

Bravo’s “Summer House” rookie of the year, Mia Calabrese, turned heads on the VMAs red carpet with a tousled updo, soft curtain curls, and a sultry finish. Pulling it off was celebrity hairstylist Suzette Boozer, aka @hair_sulon, who had to get the look through an outdoor carpet in an unusually-but-maybe-now-the-normal humid LA day.

“For Mia’s VMAs look, the red carpet was outdoors on a humid California day, so I wanted to keep her 26-inch length off her shoulders while maintaining long-lasting curls… The result was a modern, tousled French-inspired updo with soft curtain curls and a sultry finish,” Boozer shares.

Get the Look:

  1. “I prepped and set the hair with RŌZ Air Thickening Spray and RŌZ Milk Hair Serum.
  2. I then folded the length into a soft French roll, allowing curls to cascade out and frame the face with a center-parted curtain bang.
  3. I sculpted the sideburns into delicate S-curls and finished with OLAPLEX hairspray for lasting hold.”

Proof that with the right prep, even the stickiest weather can’t take down a good curl. If you recreate this look with your next client, we want to see. Tag @readthetease on Instagram and TikTok with your take.
