Get Marion Cotillard's Milkmaid Braid

Marion Cotillard looked stunning at the NYC premiere of her new movie Contagion last night. The French actress was wearing her hair fashioned into a milkmaid braid. You can check it out from all angles now, and if you're wanting to recreate Marion's look again, here's a quick guide on creating a milkmaid braid. Begin by applying a smoothing serum or gel to help prevent frizz and flyaways. Then, create a centre part and blow-dry your hair downward at a 45 degree angle. Using your centre part as a guideline, create two braided pigtails that start by your ear; secure each braid with a small hair elastic. Cross the braids over the top of your head like you see in the photos and secure each side with bobby pins, being sure to tuck under the wispy ends and pull out a few loose wisps at the front and spritz hair generously with a firm-hold hairspray. What do you think of the look?
