FKA twigs turned heads at the V&A last night when she arrived in a striking Birds of Paradise-inspired gown designed by Alexander McQueen, first showcased in 2008.
The gala dinner was held to celebrate not just the life of legendary designer Alexander McQueen, who died in 2010, but also the opening of Savage Beauty, the retrospective McQueen exhibiton being held at the V&A museum.
This is a great way of adding an edge to your hair, especially when you’re in a rush, as it’s a style you can create in minutes. We’ll certainly be giving it a whirl ahead of our next night out (in East London anyway) coupled with a pared back nude lip and dewy skin to emulate FKA Twigs in her latest Instagram selfie.
And it turns out that the intricate baby-hair style is easier to achieve than we’d thought! I really love this look because it feels so current. To get it, start by tying your hair back into a low pony, leaving some strands out around the hairline. Next, apply a gel over a tail comb and smooth the product through the loose hair, using the comb to shape the hair into a curve. Finally, use the pointed metal end of the tail comb to hone the shape to get that really defined curl, spraying a shine spray over the front of the hair to finish.
