It’s going to be Amy Adam’s year; I feel it in my bones. And with award season well underway, she’s going to need to look the part for every red-carpet, press affair she has. Fortunately for her, she’s got a great team by her side including celebrity hairstylist Laini Reeves. Laini is known for both editorial and red carpet look, but most recently as the creator of the waves Madame Adams was rocking last night. (Yes, those are photos of Amy getting her hair coiffed before the show. Super exclusive… we know. Thanks, Laini!) Lucky for us, she also gave us the 411 on how to get the look at-home. FYI, both products needed are courtesy of the one stop beauty shop, Birchbox. Soooo, YOU’RE WELCOME!
