The 2015 Met Ball never ceases to be a feast for the eyes with fashion, makeup and hair all taking center stage.
This year's theme was China: Through the Looking Glass, and it focused on Western interpretations of Chinese culture and fashion.
Jessica Chastain was styled by Ryan Trygstad for S Factor by TIGI, and they were inspired by Rita Hayworth-style glam, which was a solid move as Chastain has consistently pulled off old Hollywood glam effortlessly.
"We were inspired by Rita Hayworth and the serious glamour of her era," Trygstad says. "I researched exactly how Rita set her hair back in the '40s and drew inspiration from there. The look is a cross between a side-swept updo and a faux bob that perfectly displays Jessica's gorgeous ruby earrings."
STEP 1: Prep hair with S Factor by TIGI Stunning Volume Shampoo & Conditioner.
STEP 2: Spray a liberal amount of S Factor by TIGI Body Booster Plumping Spray on damp hair; focus on the roots. Emulsify the S Factor by TIGI Silky Smooth Moisture Serum and True Lasting Colour Hair Oil and smooth onto ends for a high-sheen look.
STEP 3: Blowdry hair with a round brush. Lift hair at roots and smooth through the ends.
STEP 4: Wrap small sections of hair around a 1.5-inch barrel curling iron. Curl hair inward toward the face and pin back one side of hair behind the same ear.
STEP 5: Finish with S Factor by TIGI Vivacious Hairspray and brush out curls with a boar bristle brush.
