“White Lotus” star Leslie Bibb temporarily retired her CLB with the help of frequent collaborator, celebrity hairstylist, John D, for the 2026 Actor Awards. John D delivered a chic little twist that we can’t stop thinking about.
He tells The Tease, “Leslie wore a stunning Ashi gown to the Actors Awards. The gown was sequined from head to toe, with a high neck line. So, I was inspired to pull Leslie’s classic bob back into a silky twist.”
Scroll for a detailed breakdown of the style directly from John D, including the surprising product he grabbed before she was set to leave for the red carpet.
Get the Look:
- “To achieve this style I started on damp hair. Created a deep center parting and blow dried the hair nice and smooth.
- Using some strong gel and hairspray I pulled the hair back to the nape of the neck and secured it all into a small ponytail and locked it in using a strong elastic.
- To create the sculptured twist I added a weft of hair to her ponytail and twisted and sculpted the hair and pinned securely into place.
- To finish off the style I spritzed the Parfums de Marly Delina Hair Perfume. I love a gorgeous fragrance to finish of a look. So, really loved the idea of finishing off the style with the effortless, yet elevated detail of scent. Just a couple of spritzes over the style did the trick. Leaving the hair not only sculpted but also scented to perfection.”
