Kendall Jenner wore a modern French twist updo at the Academy Museum Gala
Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell created Kendall Jenner's sleek updo for her appearance at the Academy Museum Gala.
Stylist used three specific tools
Gregory Russell crafted the look using a Ghd Speed hair dryer and a vented round brush. He then curled the ends with a 1.25-inch-barrel Chronos Curve curling iron before smoothing flyaways. The stylist also used a 1.7-inch-barrel ceramic round brush to help achieve the sleek style.
Process involved middle part and tendrils
Russell started by giving Jenner's hair a middle part and blow-drying it with the dryer and brush. Next, he curled the ends while sectioning out face-framing tendrils to keep them separate from the main style. He brushed the remaining hair back into a French twist and reincorporated the tendrils as a final touch.
Hairspray finished the polished look
A few spritzes of hairspray kept the updo in place throughout the event. This modern, center-parted take on a French twist matched the elegance of her Valentino gown. The tools used for this style are currently available during Amazon's Holiday Beauty Event 2026.
