Lily Collins is at it again. After blessing us with the most stunning blue eyeshadow and red lipstick combo earlier this week, she traded the statement-making eye look for a chic and sophisticated updo brought to life by celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak.

The LA-based hair pro calls the hairstyle the “Twisted Mohawk Top Knot,” which she created using Authentic Beauty Concept products. According to the stylist’s Instagram Story, she quite literally twisted the star’s hair up, locked it down with pins, and then gave it a hearty spray of the brand’s Working Hairspray: a fine mist that dries fast and locks hair into place without feeling heavy on the hair.

If you want to give the hairstyle a try at home, Roszak says, “the messier, the better.” Who knew something so imperfect could still look so photogenic? The odds are that our attempt might not come out as effortlessly beautiful as the Hollywood hair professional’s creation did, but hey, it’s worth a shot. 

The Emily in Paris star’s glam was for her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson show on Wednesday, December 2. In addition to the cool hair look, she stunned in a polished makeup look by makeup artist Fiona Stiles using Lancôme cosmetics. Her lips and lids had a touch of plum pigment, along with voluminous, defined lashes and perfectly groomed brows. Collins has been an ambassador for the French luxury brand since October 2013.

As for her fashion, the 31-year-old rocked a look from luxury American fashion brand St. John Knits’ Fall 2020 collection. Styled by Rob Zangardi, Collins embraced sweater weather despite L.A’s 75-degree heat, donning a chunky knit-pattered turtleneck and a tweed skirt, accessorized with an elegant carved metal buckle. For accessories, she wore sleek over-the-knee Yves Saint Laurent black leather boots and Cartier Love Earrings.
