2023 Met Gala beauty how-to: Camila Morrone by Cervando Maldonado

Model and actress, Camila Morrone, wowed on the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala in Rodarte with a dream hair look to match created by Celebrity Hairstylist, Cervando Maldonado. The Daisy Jones and The Six star’s glowing skin was thanks to a facial with celebrity aesthetician Joanna Czech, plus the work of the YSL Beauty glam squad, who used the luxury brand’s Lash Clash Extreme Mascara (my ride or die formula after being introduced to it last year), Rouge Volupte Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick, All Hours luminous matte foundation and Nu Halo Tint Highlighter to create a truly glamorous red carpet look.
“The inspiration for me was a take on a 1960s Jane Birkin style. Her look was very Karl Lagerfeld-esque with her hair fresh, young, clean and really beautiful,” said Cervando Maldonado. “When styling, I started on damp hair using the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense to protect from all heat tools while also creating texture and beautiful shine.”

For step-by-step instructions on how to recreate the effortlessly luxe look by the celebrity hair stylist, follow the steps below:
1. Prep hair by applying a dime size amount of Moroccanoil Treatment or Moroccanoil Treatment Light for finer hair and lighter tones to create the perfect foundation for styling

2. Start on damp hair applying Moroccanoil Limited Edition Perfect Defense from root to tip combing through with the Moroccanoil Smoothing Brush to distribute evenly and protect the hair before blow drying also creating great texture and shine

3. Apply the root boost to the crown area and lightly through the bangs to create life and volume

4. After, use the Moroccanoil Infrared Hair Dryer for a rough blow dry. Starting in front of the face blow the fringe smoothly and pin with flat clips close to the ends to hold in place

5. Blow dry the rest of the hair starting from the bottom going toward the top with a medium sized boar bristle brush. After each section, roll and pin lightly.

6. At the crown, blow hair up and roll into a medium sized velcro roller for added volume at the top

7. Next, let the hair sit for 10 min pull it out and lightly glide the Moroccanoil Perfectly Polished Titanium Flat Iron through the end on a low setting of heat to take out any bend and create a nice shine

8. Use a drop of the Moroccanoil Blow Dry Concentrate, rub in hands and distribute evenly lightly raking through the ends for added shine and hold; combing through with the Moroccanoil Ceramic Paddle Brush once more

9. Once done, brush the front of hair into place to match with the back to make sure all is in place. Lightly take hair in the back and pull down toward the nape of the crown.

10. To complete the look add in a few bobby pins and a velvet bow. Finish with a light Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray, Strong to make sure hair stays effortlessly beautiful throughout the night.
