Anne Hathaway, the co-host at The Oscars 2011, had eight hair transformations for the ceremony. Celebrity hairdresser, Adir Abergel, was the man behind Anne’s distinctive hairdos over the course of the evening. Inspired by Hollywood classic beauty Rita Hayworth, Adir wanted to create a style, which matched her ensemble as well. “It’s a combination of various elements, such as hair, clothes, etc,” says Adir. The looks had everything — from the classic Hollywood glam look, a tousled bohemian style to a high-ponytail to an updo and one-sided low bun; it was complete in every way. Was it challenging to create a variety of looks in three hours? “Though the night was amazing, it was diffi cult in the sense that I had only four minutes for some of the changes that included removing the previous dress and slipping Harbaugh / ©A.M.P.A.S.

Abhishek Bachchan (AB) has always been known to experiment with his looks and hairstyles. His much-talk- ed about classic haircut in the movie Game has become a huge trendsetter. “AB has played the character of an undercover cop so we have given him this classic cut, which has added length and height to his facial features. Hence, giving a strong and edgy look to his role he is portraying in the movie,” says Shefali Shetty, b:blunt Salon, Mumbai, who is the Head Stylist for the movie. Her groundwork on the look was based on several aspects, such as clothing, mood of the fi lm and the director’s brief. “Analyzing the script and decoding its characters is the fi rst step towards creating a look for any movie. As the mood of the fi lm was very real, we designed hairstyles that were effortlessly stylish and International Photos: Eros easy-to create,” says Shefali, giving the audiences Abhishek Bachchan’s new look in the movie Game an insight into the research.
