Sarah Pidgeon’s Academy Museum Gala Hair: Bobby Eliot Creates Soft, Effortless Glamour

10/19/2026

Love Story actress Sarah Pidgeon hit the 2026 Academy Museum Gala red carpet looking ever so cool in Chanel and French-girl hair. Worn down and styled in an unbothered way by celebrity hairstylist Bobby Eliot, Pidgeon’s sporting the perfect shade of “Beach Blonde” by Schwarzkopf Professional colorist Kari Hill. A dream. 

Eliot says, “The inspiration for Sarah was an effortless and chic tousled texture. We wanted the hair not to feel fussy or done-looking.” Keep reading to see which Bio Ionic tools he used to create this style.

Get the Look:

  1. Start off with damp hair and use the Bio Ionic Aerogravity Featherlight Dryer to blow-dry the hair until 75% dry. 
  2. Once the hair is about 75% dry, switch to the diffuser attachment and dry to a lived-in texture by scrunching the hair with the hands. 
  3. Next, using the Bio Ionic 10X Flat Iron, create texture by alternating in a slight wave pattern.
