“Game of Thrones” Crazy Braided Updo for Black Tie Event
Since we’re getting into high season for prom and weddings I decided a black tie wedding would be the perfect excuse to try a new hair look. I was channeling the Khaleesi when I discussed my primal vision with Amanda Leone, stylist, makeup artist, and co-owner of The Kevin Charles Salon at the Four Season’s Biltmore in Montecito, CA. “Vision” may be pushing it. I told her about my dress — black, floor-length, empire waist with thin leather belts for shoulder straps that then wrap around my waist a couple times (basically Grecian-meets-S&M). I then said I wanted it half-up with little braids and twists, kind of a deconstructed look. That’s it. She took those couple sentences and created her own vision:
