How To Get Alexa Chung's Met Gala Hair

On Monday in New York, Alexa Chung went vintage in her fashion and beauty choices at the Met Gala. The British presenter, who was amongst the best dressed Brits, teamed a 1960s-inspired Marc Jacobs leather dress with a backcombed hairstyle. Sebastian Professional stylist Diego Da Silva, who created Alexa's look, was "inspired by the 1960s feel of dress and wanted to revisit a shorter haired, rock and roll Brigitte Bardot version of modern times." To recreate the Brit's hairdo for yourself, follow the step-by-step instructions when you read more.

• Step 1: Wash hair with Sebastian Professional Light Shampoo (£10.95) and Sebastian Professional Light Conditioner (£12.75).
• Step 2: Apply Sebastian Professional Texturizer (£14.79) to the roots of damp hair and blow-dry using a round brush.
• Step 3: Backcomb the roots with a fine tooth comb, then use a brush to soften.
• Step 4: Loosely pull hair into a half ponytail and secure with bobby pins.
• Step 5: Spritz Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper (£12.75).
