It was a perfect complement to the "clean drama" (Posen's words) of the collection's voluminous but unadorned gowns.

"We want the wave, wave, wave," said Gilbert backstage. She used a one-inch curling iron for loose waves. Added plenty of Kérastase Laque Dentelle for a high shine.

The effect was stunning, which isn't all that surprising given Gilbert's history with reimagining hair accessories. The legendary hairstylist has used some pretty unusual accouterments, including clay and a chandelier, to turn hair into works of art.
