Celebrating the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Hollywood tuned in to honor achievements for film and television from 2020. As starlets, and society, get used to the new virtual Red Carpets, they’re taking liberties with the freedom of expression with niche, unique backdrops — like Kerry Washington posing in couture in her pool. We’re given a glimpse inside their worlds and their individual creativity is a much-welcomed change. With moments of laughter and heartfelt tributes, the pre-recorded show was only about an hour in length and highlighted accolades for The Chicago 7, Minari, Chadwick Boseman, and Schitt's Creek among many others.
When it comes to stellar style, we couldn’t help but fall in love with Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom star, Viola Davis — who took home the SAG Award for her role in the film for Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture category. For the occasion, Viola chose a vibrant neon green Louis Vuitton gown with adornments throughout that complemented her chic blunt bob perfectly. To create the look, hairstylist, Jamika Wilson used Matrix and gave us her insider tips for creating the look below.
Get The Look: Viola Davis SAG Awards 2021
- Start by washing and conditioning the hair using Matrix Total Results Mega Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner to help control frizz and for a smooth foundation.
- Then apply Matrix StyleLink Heat Buffer Thermal Styling Spray to protect the hair from heat and ensures hair has a smooth and shiny finish. Once applied evenly throughout the hair, blow-dry and create a clean middle part.
- Cut the ends to give a sharp, blunt and chic cut by using shears and clippers. Once at the desired length, lightly apply Matrix StyleLink Heat Buffer Thermal Styling Spray once more all over the hair, then flat iron bone straight.
- To finish, apply Matrix StyleLink Over Achiever 3-in-1 Cream + Paste + Wax to smooth and lay down the front of the hair to polish off any flyaways and tuck front parts behind the ears.
