Just the other day, Megan Fox served up a transformation and a half for the Billboard Music Awards (spoiler alert: it included a wispy full fringe) and now, just four days later, the actor has provided yet another chic look. A new day equals a new style... it's just the done thing in Hollywood at this point.
However, this time, Megan is taking us back to the good ol' days (aka: years seven-11) with a hairstyle I can guarantee you wore religiously in secondary school. And no, it's not Miley Cyrus' MySpace swooping fringe, but a sleek ballerina-esque twisted updo with wet-look face-framing pieces. Cue the corridor nostalgia.
I don't know about you, but when I think of British school teens, this is the look that comes to mind (minus the stunning glam and hairstyle precision, of course). Thin strands framing the face just used to be the in-thing in the late 00s – IYKYK!
To create this year 10-meets-sophisticated-red-carpet-worthy look, the whole glam squad came out in full force with Andrew Fitzsimons on the hair, Ash K Holm on the makeup, and with Maeve Reilly on the wardrobe. Oh, and Megan had the look professionally pictured by photo and videographer, Ricardo Horatio Nelson. Props to such a well-rounded team!
Even Megan's other hairstylist (yep, she has more than one) Dimitris Giannetos commented on Andrew's post, saying: "Wow EVERYTHING". We couldn't agree more, Dimitris, this look really is everything.
Meg, if there's ever an Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Wild Child, or St Trinians reboot, you'll be the first to know. But for now, I ~personally~ think Waterloo Road is your calling.
