I want Gwen Stefani's perfectly coiffed hair

The delectable Gwen Stefani really is the champion of creating mane magic. Swapping between rock and retro, the star has proved that she can excel at everything! For formal occasions, Gwen Stefani knows how to calm things down.

At the legendary Amfar gala in 2011, which happens each year alongside the Cannes Festival, Gwen Stefani was the essence of Hollywood chic. She was wearing a dress that she had designed herself and which would later be sold at auction. To avoid drawing attention from her dress, she chose a minimalist and yet highly glamorous hairstyle.

Recreate this style for yourself with our hints and tips!

After a thorough blow-dry, straighten your hair... there is no place in this hairstyle for frizz! Next, leave a few locks of hair loose at the front and backcomb the rest of your hair using a fine-toothed comb. If you need to, use your hairdryer to make sure that the ends of your hair stick up nicely. Use a generous amount of hairspray to keep it all in place.

Both modern and glamorous, this hairstyle is suitable for all occasions and is perfect for day or night.
