Later this evening, fashion’s finest—from Blake Lively, Renée Zellweger, Sienna Miller, and Gisele to Alexander Wang and Tom Ford, along with cohosts Oprah Winfrey and the Gap’s Patrick Robinson—will ascend the red-carpeted stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this year’s annual Costume Institute Ball. As the cameras click and flashbulbs pop, all eyes will be fixed on the ladies and their dresses. But it takes an entourage to look this perfectly preened. Here are the hairstylists, makeup artists, facialists, nail technicians, and even yoga masters in charge of making this year’s style stars picture-perfect.
Vogue’s Times Square offices will morph into a miniature beauty parlor today, with Frédéric Fekkai hairstylists Marshal Lin (212/888-2600) and Anthony Sorenson (212/396-4600), and Dolce & Gabbana makeup artists Mugtaba Mudani, Michelle Morrow, and Karina Medina—from Pat McGrath’s own team—arriving bright and early on the twelfth floor to deftly blow-out, updo, and otherwise perfect a gaggle of Vogue’s editors. (Pat herself will be readying CoverGirl’s newest face—in fact just announced this past weekend: Taylor Swift.)
Charming Italian hairstylist Oscar Blandi (212/421-9800) will tend to Julianne Marguiles’s radiant raven hair, while his handsome brother, Luca Blandi, primps Rosario Dawson. The always buzzing Warren - Tricomi Salon (212/262-8899) will see neighbor Linda Fargo (of Bergdorf Goodman) sitting in Edward Tricomi’s chair. Also making the Plaza Hotel location her salon of choice is Marina Rust. Vogue’s always-elegant Alexandra Kotur will be turning to freelance hairstylist Tim Rogers.
Holding court downtown at his Fifth Avenue Parlor, hairstylist Ashley Javier will be taking it to the limit with a roster that includes Chloë Sevigny, Emma Roberts, Zoe Kazan, Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Allison Sarofim, Tamara Mellon, Angela Lindvall, and R&B singer (and Diddy date) Cassie Ventura.
While Fekkai’s mini-team works its magic at Vogue, the rest of its all-star crew will be racing around town with cases of curlers, combs, and pins in tow. Renato Campora has appointments with actresses Jessica Alba and Kristen Stewart; Andre Rodman (212/888-2600) will see Vogue’s Senior Accessories Editor, Filipa Fino (who will later visit the John Barrett Salon’s lovely Irina Krupnik for makeup; 212/872-2700), and will then boldly take Amanda Brooks’s hair back to the 1970s with some disco-inflected glamour (for makeup, Amanda swears by Suzy Gerstein; leigh@kateryaninc.com). Both Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks are in luck with red-carpet wizard Adir Abergel. At Fekkai’s latest outpost, at the Mark hotel (212/396-4601), stylist David Cully (212/396-4600) is booked with Margherita Missoni; Stefanie Henriquez, with Joy Bryant. But that’s not the only thing Missoni and Bryant have in common tonight—they’re both also seeing Dior makeup artist Ricky Wilson.
The SoHo-area Ion Salon (212/343-9060) stylist, Marco Santini has an appointment lined up with Rachel Bilson. While editorial star stylist Peter Butler is planning on stopping by Claire Danes and Bumble and bumble’s Rolando Beauchamp off to see Camilla Belle. And L.A.-based actress Kate Hudson has brought her pal, stylist David Babaii for the event.
Stopping by Rachel Weisz’s East Village town house is West Coast stylist Mark Townsend, whose new New York home is at the recently opened Marie Robinson salon (212/358-7780). Revlon makeup pro Gucci Westman will be at longtime friend Cameron Diaz’s side, as will hair stylist Giannandrea. Also planning on making house calls that evening is hair guru Danilo, who has plans to see Katy Perry and Gwen Stefani. Meanwhile, Ted Gibson (212/633-6333) will have his brush busy with brunettes Anne Hathaway and Emma Watson—who will be privy to the attentions of Chanel makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi (also attending to Naomi Watts this evening). Fellow Chanel artists Rachel Goodwin, Kate Lee, and Jeannia Robinette will dabble in more makeup magic with January Jones, Kate Bosworth, and Lily Collins, respectively. Model Anja Rubik will put herself in the deft hands of makeup artist Jenna Menard, and L’Wren Scott will be lucky enough to command the full attention of Lancôme editorial maestro Aaron De Mey.
Ever-popular makeup artist Alexa Rudolfo (alexa.alexa@yahoo.com) has a jam-packed afternoon, with Zani Gugelmann and Fabiola Beracasa stopping by her Flatiron apartment, followed by house calls to Carolina Herrera and Ivanka Trump Kushner. NARS star James Boehmer will be dashing between M.I.A. and Erin Fetherston and fellow NARS artist Elaine Offers with Blake Lively, while hairstylist Ric Pipino will be swinging by fellow Aussie Abbie Cornish’s hotel suite.
There is something to be said, too, for advance skin prep. Among the devoted paying visits to facialist Tracie Martyn’s lower Fifth Avenue spa (212/206-9333) are Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane von Furstenburg, Francisco Costa, Narciso Rodriguez, Queen Noor, Jamie Tisch, and photographer Inez van Lamsweerde. Vogue’s Entertainment Editor Jill Demling—who got “chandelier highlights” courtesy of Ashley Javier on Thursday—visited Dr. David Colbert, M.D., at the New York Dermatology Group (212/533-8888) on Friday for his famed Triad Facial.
Vogue.com’s Candy Pratts Price started her beauty program early, too, at 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning with an Eileen Harcourt oxygen facial, followed by a mani/pedi back at home with Jackie Padilha. Today, it’s Birgitte Philippides for makeup and John D’Orazio for hair.
Fashion Features/News Director Sally Singer gets the most points, though, for her carefully considered, masterfully scheduled head-to-toe mind-and-body Met prep: This past Wednesday she popped into groovy Nolita nail oasis Valley (212/274-8985), where her go-to nail artist, Maki, touched up her signature silver-glitter French manicure. Over the weekend, it was total body fitness with a twelve-hour-long walk around Manhattan’s perimeter—the Great Saunter—followed by Edward’s Express class at OM Yoga (212/254-9642) and a well-deserved stop at Angel Feet Reflexology (212/924-3576). Today she’ll see Derek at the Tommy Guns Salon (212/477-1151) for a blow-out, and editorial makeup artist—and friend—Tina Turnbow for a “swipe of liquid liner and a Givenchy red lip.” Tomorrow, see how everyone turned out in pictures!
