If there was anyone that understood the assignment last night at the 2021 Oscars, it was Regina King. From head to toe, the actress stunned with her elegant gown, sultry makeup, and sleek angled bob that came together perfectly. Responsible for the hairstyle in particular was stylist extraordinaire Larry Sims, who crafted the bob using products created by himself and another successful actress: Gabrielle Union.
“For Regina’s look, the lines and shoulder detail inspired the look,” Sims tells ESSENCE. “We wanted to go with something sleek, modern & clean that wouldn’t compete with the structure and craftsmanship or the dress. We also wanted to show off Regina’s beautiful neck line.”

Regina looked stunning in her custom Louis Vuitton gown. “I feel like a whole statue” She states on Instagram. The blunt bob created by hairstylist Larry Simms compliments the exaggerated shoulders of the dress. To get Regina’s look, Simms flat ironed her freshly chopped bob and finished her hairline with Flawless By Gabrielle Union Edge Control and tucked one side of her hair behind her left ear. Her makeup look by Latrice Johnson was created using Clinique Neutral Grey All about Shadow, Pretty Easy Liquid Eyeliner in black and Even Better Pop Nude Lip Foundation.
