Natalie Portman's Side Waves

Frederic Fekkai's Didier Malige styled Oscar winner Natalie Portman's hair for the night. The inspiration was a glamorous bohemian style that's soft, romantic, and feminine -- so fitting for the mom-to-be.

Step 1: Apply an anti-frizz product and volumizer before blow-drying the hair smooth using a round brush.

Step 2: Curl the hair using a 1-inch curling iron to create soft and feminine waves.

Step 3: Create a foundation for the style by backcombing the bottom layers of the hair.

Step 4: Sweep the hair to the left side of her face, securing with bobby pins.

Step 5: For a finishing touch, use one of your earrings as a shimmery accent piece.

Step 6: Secure the look with a sheer hairspray.
