Lily-Rose Depp dazzled at the 2025 Academy Awards, making her debut at the event with a stunning Old Hollywood-inspired hairstyle. Created by celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, the vintage waves perfectly complemented her custom black Chanel halter gown. Depp, who was at the Oscars to introduce the Best Costume Design award and support the cast of Nosferatu, which was nominated in that category, turned heads with her glamorous look.
Scarlett, known for his expertise in sculpting timeless styles, used Olivia Garden hair tools to achieve the iconic Veronica Lake-style peekaboo waves. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to recreate this vintage-inspired hairstyle:
Tips and Techniques:
Prep the Hair: Scarlett started by applying volumizing products to clean, damp hair to create a base of volume and texture.
Blowout: Using the SuperHP Hair Dryer and a Ceramic + Ion ½” Round Brush, Scarlett blew out the hair in two-inch sections, ensuring a sleek yet voluminous foundation.
Set the Waves: After the hair was completely dry and cooled, Scarlett brushed out the waves to smooth them, creating a soft, effortless flow.
Curling: Scarlett returned to the two-inch sections of hair and used the Olivia Garden Titanium + Ion 1¼” Curling Iron to curl Depp’s hair. For the signature peekaboo look, the curls were directed towards the face on both sides, creating a flattering, vintage-inspired shape.
Final Touches: To perfect the style, Scarlett gently smoothed the curls with a flat brush and set the look with hairspray, ensuring long-lasting hold.
The result was a flawless, glamorous Old Hollywood wave that enhanced Lily-Rose Depp’s elegant presence on the red carpet. With these expert tips and the right tools, you can achieve a similar look for your next special event!
