Get the Formula: Grace Van Patten’s Bardot Blonde

Grace Van Patten rocked up to the Academy Museum Gala in L.A. with her hair several shades lighter after a blonding sesh with celebrity colorist Jacob Schwartz .

The U.S. Hair Color Trend Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional, Schwarz used products from the brand’s BLONDME and IGORA color lines to achieve the "Tell Me Lies" actress' Brigitte Bardot-inspired blonde. 

The creamy tones and deep roots contrasted well with Van Patten's sultry, sheer black Archival Margiela x Galliano gown, set off by Cartier jewelry.

Schwartz began by lightening Van Patten's highlights with IGORA VARIO Blond Super Plus and brightening the ends with BLONDME Premium Lightener 9+. To seamlessly blend the color, he applied a root gloss using IGORA Vibrance, melting the tones together.
