At this year’s Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, Kate Hudson served up retro radiance in the chicest way possible, stepping out in a shimmering Elie Saab gown that whispered ‘70s goddess’ in all the best ways. And let’s be honest: when you lean into that Studio 54 energy, the hair has to deliver. Enter celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis, who transformed Kate into a modern-day screen siren.
“To complement Kate’s gown and its ‘70s glamour, I styled her hair in a polished, off-the-shoulder look with fullness, body, and shine—evoking those Studio 54 movie star vibes,” Marcus shared.
And the final result? A look that danced between disco and Old Hollywood, with voluminous waves, lifted roots, and a glossy finish that gave us the kind of hair dreams are made of.
The Breakdown:
Marcus began with Joico’s Dream Blowout Thermal Protection Crème, applying it to damp hair from mid-lengths to ends for heat defense and smoothness. Then came Joico Power Whip Whipped Foam, applied root to tip for all-over body.
Using a small round brush, he blew out Kate’s hair in sections, lifting off the scalp and pinning each section to set. To lock in that lift, he gave each pinned section a spritz of Joico Flip Turn Volumizing Finishing Spray. After 20 minutes of setting, he released the curls and brushed them out for a soft, voluminous texture—more body than bounce.
To sculpt the face-framing silhouette, he teased the top and sides, shaped the front, and sealed the look with Joico Power Spray. As a final step, a touch of Zero Heat Air-Dry Styling Crème on the ends gave that polished, frizz-free finish.
Studio 54, but make it 2025.
