Both Johns and Backe cited Jessica Chastain's envy-worthy
coppery blonde shade as a favorite of the evening. "Her natural-
looking copper beautifully melts into her strawberry blonde ends,"
Backe says. "It's exactly the kind of shift we're seeing as women
stray from a bold ombré into a softer, more natural gradient color."
Kate Beckinsale's rich
brunette shade with
soft highlights
epitomizes the new
trend for subtler
highlights. Cunningham
created her look using
Redken Color Fusion
and new Blonde Idol
High Lift Conditioning
Cream for highlights
that enhanced
Beckinsale's updo.
Johns, who is known for creating beautiful blondes,
put Naomi Watts at the top of his list for favorite
blondes at this year's Golden Globes. "She's f nally
looking more like a messy, beachy California blonde,"
he says. "She was a little too New York before."
