Get the Formulas: Brie Larson & Rebecca Ferguson's Blondes

For the 2024 Met Gala, celebrity colorist Jacob Schwartz created signature blondes for actresses Brie Larson and Rebecca Ferguson using Schwarzkopf Professional haircolor.

 

Brie Larson: Spun With Gold

"My version of the expensive 'Monday blonde' I call 'Spun with Gold,'" Schwartz says.

"It involves a meticulously thorough amount of micro highlights throughout the entire hair. It’s the perfect amount of light and dark, blended to give extra life to the hair."

The actress' hair was styled by Bryce Scarlett, who paired her Prada hourglass gown and Fred Leighton earrings with silky straight, side-parted locks.

Formula & Step by Step

1. Fine highlights: BlondMe Lightener 9+ & BlondMe Premium Developer 7 Vol & 20 Vol. 1:1:1.
2. Balayage ends: BlondMe Premium Lightener 9+ & BlondMe Premium Developer 30 Vol. 1:2.
3. On damp hair, apply Igora Vibrance 7-0 + 8-11 + Igora Vibrance Activator Gel 6 volume for 10 minutes 1:1:2.
4. The last 3 minutes, apply Igora Vibrance 9-0 + 8-0 + Vibrance activator 6 volume 1:1:2.
5. Lift up the ends and rinse.
6. Shampoo and condition.

 

Rebecca Ferguson: Galactic Blonde

"Rebecca is starring opposite Chris Pratt & Anabelle Wallis in the MGM Sci Fi Thriller series Mercy," Schwartz says.

"I thought of her futuristic character, which she is currently filming, when creating her color. We are calling it 'Galactic Blonde'." 

Stylist Jillian Halouska gave the actress a sleek wet look to complement her Thom Browne ensemble.
