The 29-year-old actress had another Teen Choice Awards fashion win in this glittery Cavalli dress that she partnered with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti sandals and an Edie Parker clutch.
Celebrity hairstylist Christopher Appleton, drawing inspiration from the dress, created a one-of-a-kind updo for Shay. The goal was to incorporate the gold theme into her hair without overpowering the striking dress.
A middle section of Shay’s hair was braided to achieve this, resembling a spine-like detail. Then, the pièce de résistance was added: a line of hoops that appeared to pierce the back of her head. This innovative and youthful touch elevated the topknot to a whole new level, adding an element of surprise and unique flair.
