Flirty, above-the-shoulders and sculpted with a contemporary Jazz Age twist, the look delivered peak classic seduction with up to date polish.
The one factor: Hudson’s new bob was really as a consequence of some finely tuned trickery, her hairstylist and strand magician, Marcus Francis, completely informed us. “We didn’t lower her hair,” he admits. “It’s a little bit of smoke and mirrors.

A paddle-brush move ensured seamless distribution.
