Julianne Hough, 24, was gorgeous at the Safe Haven premiere in New York City on Feb. 11. The star took a fashion risk as she strutted down the black carpet in George Hobeika everything — a high-neck gray dress over a pair of women’s suit pants. Julianne’s outfit may have raised some eyebrows but she definitely came out on top with that hair statement — it was phenomenal!

It’s totally easy to achieve this look and HollywoodLife.com has exclusive details for YOU to get this style too! L’Oréal Paris Consulting Hair Expert, Johnny Lavoy, tells HollywoodLifers exactly how to achieve a sexy, sophisticated hairstyle just like Julianne. Although Johnny did not style the star’s hair, he knows exactly how to make this glamorous style come alive. Take a look at these sexy teased-hair tips below.

Julianne Hough’s Sexy Hair Tease – Step-By-Step

Step 1.  Scrunch dry the hair using a styling cream like L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Texture Series Tousle Crème for soft texture and a pliable hold. If your hair is super straight, you can use a large barrel iron to create a loose curl section around the face and top.

Step 2.  Section the hair from right behind the ear to across to head to behind the ear on the other side, and clip it out of the way.

Step 3. Spray the back loose section with a workable hairspray like L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray. It’s going to give you hold without being stiff or sticky. After spraying, you want to tease the hair lightly from the round of the head to about 1 inch from the nape of the neck.

Step 4. Once the back-combing is done, spray again.

Step 5.  Release the section of hair in front and spray with hairspray. Then, start to finger-comb that hair back into a ponytail, smoothing it over the volume you created with the tease and spray in place.

Step 6. Gather all the hair to form a low pony and secure with a clear elastic.

Step 7. Using a comb smooth out hair around the face and use fingers to place the hair in a soft face-framing shape and spray.

Julianne Hough attended the NYC screening of her film, Safe Haven, on Feb. 11 at Landmark Sunshine Cinema in NYC with her co-star, Josh Duhamel, 40. Though the 24-year-old star is not exactly known for conventional attire, she never ceases to keep us guessing. This time, she strutted down the black carpet in a delicate dress over a pair of women’s suit pants…interesting combo, even for someone who likes to have fun with their fashion!

Julianne donned George Hobeika from head-to-toe in a gray embroidered dress over a pair of matching trousers at the event, which was sponsored by Self magazine. The high neck of the dress added a touch of class to the trendy look. Her silver point-toed heels, also by the designer, were the final touch to the unexpected get-up. She went a little bit more casual when it came to her subtle silver Norman Silverman jewelry.

This is not the first time we’ve seen a fashion icon try to pull off the dress/trouser ensemble. Emma Watson, sported a similar look at the premiere of her film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower in September 2012. The 22-year-old donned a black strapless dress over a pair of black skinny trousers.

Though her outfit may be a little exotic, the superstar was all smiles, as usual as she prepared for the premiere. Safe Haven comes out in theaters this Valentine’s Day…just in time for one of the biggest date nights of the year!

We LOVE the bold look of Julianne’s new style, but what do you think of the dress-over-trousers ensemble? Does it have the potential to be a cool new trend or is it too outlandish? Let us know by voting and leaving your comments!

Julianne Hough was the epitome of sophisticated glamour for her latest premiere. The actress wore her blonde bob in an intricate updo that put all the focus on her stunning face. With eyes as piercing as Julianne’s, makeup is an afterthought. The star kept her face simple with muted tones — a natural flush of color on her cheeks, and just a whisper of pale pink on her lips.

“Her entire look was inspired by her Alberta Ferretti dress which was a very sheer, nude color with beautiful, subtle detailing and shimmering pieces,” says celebrity makeup artist Spencer Barnes who created Julianne’s look. “We wanted to keep the makeup in line with that magical, ethereal feeling, nothing too strong.”

Makeup Artist Spencer Barnes’ Tips On How To Get Julianne Hough’s Makeup Look

Julianne Hough, 24, looked absolutely flawless. Here’s how her makeup artist created the look:

“I started by prepping Julianne’s skin with the Votre Vu Attentive Skincare Line for sensitive skin,” says Spencer. “She was extremely happy with the result from the products because she was feeling a bit under the weather and felt her skin was originally looking a bit lackluster. The product that I liked the most was the Attentive Crème du Jour, which I applied with a foundation brush in order to get a very even veil,” he says. “We wanted the focus to be her eyes, so we went with a very natural face. I applied the Votre Vu Love Me Deux in Provence all over to give her skin a youthful, luminous, lightweight look.”

Now For A Little Color…

“Then to give her a little color back, I took the Vu-On Rouge in Bouquet Rose and used my fingers to warm it up on the back of my hand, then blended it onto the apples of her cheeks,” says Spencer. “This skin-on-skin application made it softer and sheerer.” Spencer then used Vu-On Rouge in Bouquet Rose to Julianne’s lips.  “The brush gave greater control and a heavier application for denser color,” says Spencer.  He topped her lips with a pale nude lipgloss and set the makeup with Belle Poudre HD Sheer Face Powder in Medium.

To Get A Bronze Glow….

To create a sun-kissed glow, Spencer used Beauté en Bronze, which was applied to Julianne’s face with a fluffy powder brush and then he sculpted the sides of her face, cheek bones, neck and jaw line using an angled brush. He then applied the blush straight to the apples of Julianne’s cheeks. “Placement was key with this duo to get the dynamic quality of them playing off of each other,” says Spencer.

To Play Up Julianne Hough’s Eyes….

Spencer used a nude shadow to prep Julianne’s eyelids and then smudged Le Joli Crayon in Aubergine to the upper lash line. He applied an eyeshadow trio from Face Atelier in light silver, pink, gold and dark brown shades to her eyes, curled her lashes and added Eiffel Power Mascara. Her brows were defined with Arch de Triumphe in Fair. Spencer set the whole look  with À Votre Santé Refreshing Spray. “When she got into the dress, it was apparent that the look had come together perfectly,” he says.
