The best way to welcome the summer season? With a chop that exudes easy cool while helping to temper even the balmiest of temperatures. To prepare for last night’s London premiere of Mission: Impossible 7, French actor Pom Klementieff opted to part ways with her peroxide bob in favor of a pixie two months in the making.
The cut was carried off with the help of hairstylist Marcia Lee, who wanted to create a style that made a statement while maintaining wearable versatility. “We knew we wanted the change to be very extreme, so I factored Pom’s infectious, strong, vibrant, and delicious personality into the look,” says Lee, who left Klementieff with enough length for prettiness and play.
“It’s a cut that can be tough and androgynous, but soft and delicate at the same time,” she explains. To shape a similar style, Lee recommends Hair by Sam McKnight Dressed to Kill Define and Defrizz Creme and Happy Endings Nourishing Balm—and, of course, an ample amount of confidence.
Paired with a Prada mini and platform sandals, along with a jade lid and coral lip applied by makeup artist Mary Wiles (NARS Eyeshadow in Baby Jane and Afterglow Lip Balm in Fast Lane, respectively), Klementieff’s bleached close crop was defined by a piece-y spray across the forehead, details converging for a look at once pretty and punk.
