07/15/2024

Tashi Donaldson who? 2024 ESPYs host Serena Williams hit the red carpet as a bombshell blonde and reminded us all that she’s that girl. Serena’s longtime hairstylist Angela Meadows teamed up with Wella Professionals for this winning look.

Of this classic style Meadows said, “I wanted to give her an old Hollywood glam inspired look to set the stage for this momentous night. The chic, classic bombshell waves build up hype for the incredible looks we have planned throughout the rest of the awards ceremony.”

Meadows generously shared exactly how she prepped Serena’s hair for the red carpet with The Tease. Scroll for her steps!

Get the Look

  1. “I started by lightening the hair with Wella Professionals BlondorPlex 9 to help reduce orange/yellow undertones.
  2. After processing I rinsed hair with lukewarm water and treated it with the Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Line. I especially love Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue from this collection, as it is repairs hair damage in just 90 seconds, perfect for making sure bleached hair stays strong and smooth after processing. 
  3. Once hair was treated, I toned with Wella Professionals Shinefinity shades 7/12 and 5/98, highlighted with Wella Professionals Shinefinity shade 9/61, and lowlighted with Wella Professionals Shinefinity shade 05/98 to add the perfect balance of color with healthy-looking shine. 
  4. Once hair color is done processing, I prepped hair for styling with Wella Professionals EIMI Nutricurls Boost Bounce to add volume, shine, definition and frizz reduction. I finished the look by curling hair with a medium size barrel curler and voila, she’s ready to serve on the red carpet!”
