Updos were everywhere at the Oscars, but Margaret Qualley’s sculptural look has started a new trend—here’s how it was created

I’d need more hands to count the number of updos at the Oscars last night— and I watched the whole thing. While there were several standout looks, the collective memo seemed to be that of old Hollywood glamour—and is there anything more fitting? It is the biggest night in showbiz, after all.

There was Elle Fanning’s incredible precise, middle-parted bun, which sat high on the head. Ariana Grande’s Glinda-worthy look, and Lupita Nyong’o’s braided bun, which was adorned with pearls, but it was Margaret Qualley’s super sculptural, retro-inspired, coifed updo, which elicited a small gasp from me. The look, which was created by Anna Cofone—celebrity hairstylist and global creative advocate for Authentic Beauty Concept—saw The Substance actor’s hair pulled tight on top of her head, and then arranged into different coifs or rolls all over.
