Nicole Scherzinger had a triumphant night at the 78th annual Tony Awards on Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The musical star took home the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance as Norma Desmond in the Broadway hit revival, “Sunset Blvd.,” and she honored the monumental night with a hairdo equally as memorable.
Styled by celebrity hair artist Dimitris Giannetos, Scherzinger’s dark tresses were pulled firmly on top of her head in a sophisticated, slicked-back bun. Her ponytail was twisted into a crown, with absolutely no strands left behind.

Giannetos told WWD the style was inspired by the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” He said: “I wanted to give Nicole a very sleek, glossy updo and create a ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ Audrey Hepburn-inspired vibe.”
The multistep process of her completing her look began with Giannetos flat-ironing Scherzinger’s hair before using the tool to add a few messy waves to give it “body.” He used both the Moroccanoil Treatment Original smooth frizz hair oil and the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Extra Strong to lock in the slick back.
“To finish, I sprayed Nicole’s hair with Parfums de Marly Valaya Hair Perfume — an elegant floral, musky and woody scent to complement her look. It had all eyes on her and was the perfect finishing touch to her glamorous look,” Giannetos said.
Rokael Lizama, makeup artist to both Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Kim Kardashian, was behind the on-stage performer’s bronzy visage. Scherzinger’s face was contoured and coated in a warm bronzer to match the shimmery sunset shadow on her eyes. Pink, brown and amber melted together on top of her lids with an iridescent white on her brow bone. Meanwhile, her lips were painted in fiery red to match her strapless sequin gown.

To start, Lizama prepped the actress’ face with the Dieux Skin Ethereal Cleaning Oil and the Baptism Gel Cleanser. He then went in with the hydrating Instant Angel Moisturizer and the chilled Forever Eye Mask.
In her teary-eyed acceptance speech, Scherzinger thanked the Tony Awards for making “this little Hawaiian-Ukrainian-Filipino girl’s dream come true.” “Growing up, I always felt like I didn’t belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong and I have come home at last. So if there is anyone who feels like they don’t belong or your time hasn’t come, don’t give up. Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and light more than ever,” she said.
