Sarah Pidgeon wore a bouncy, voluminous blowout at the Time100 Next Gala in New York City, a departure from the loose waves she has often worn on the red carpet. Hairstylist DJ Quintero described the look as ’90s supermodel-inspired and shared the styling steps and Living Proof products used to create it.
Actor Sarah Pidgeon wore a bouncy, high-volume blowout at the Time100 Next Gala in New York City, marking a change from the loose, undone waves she has often worn for red-carpet appearances. Hairstylist DJ Quintero said he created the look with soft layers and a ’90s supermodel influence, using Living Proof products and a section-by-section blow-dry and curl set.
Quintero built the style on towel-dried hair, first applying Living Proof Full Texturizing Foam and then Full Volume & Root-Lifting Spray, with extra attention to the crown and the areas around Pidgeon’s face. In comments included in Harper’s Bazaar’s report, he said he used a round brush and blow-dryer to lift sections away from the scalp, directing the hair upward at the crown to create an airy shape.
After drying the hair, Quintero used a large-barrel curling iron to add soft bends through the mid-lengths and ends. He alternated the direction of the curls and curled the face-framing sections away from Pidgeon’s face. He then set the curls with pin curls, let them cool and brushed them out to soften the shape and add movement.
For the finish, Quintero applied Living Proof No Frizz Invisible Oil to smooth flyaways and add shine, followed by Style Lab Flex Hairspray for hold and Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray through the crown and layers. The account describes the result as voluminous but soft and movable; it does not provide information about how long the style lasted beyond the event or whether Pidgeon used the same products herself.
A Shift From Pidgeon’s Usual Waves
The look stands out as a styling change from the relaxed waves that Harper’s Bazaar says Pidgeon has often worn on the red carpet. Rather than presenting the appearance as a new signature or a wider shift in her style, the report ties the change to one gala look and its specific reference point: the full, softly curled blowouts associated with ’90s supermodel styling.
The detailed routine also gives readers a concrete account of how the shape was made. Its volume came not from a single product or tool, but from root lift, directional blow-drying, cooled pin curls and a brushed-out finish. Those steps help explain the difference between defined curls and the looser, airy shape visible in the reported red-carpet look. The routine is one stylist’s method, not evidence that the products will produce the same result on every hair type or length.

How Quintero Built the Volume
Harper’s Bazaar characterizes Pidgeon’s previous red-carpet approach as easy romance, often pairing loose, undone waves with radiant skin and pared-back makeup. The gala appearance was described as a notable departure for her hair. The report identifies Pidgeon as a star of Love Story and says the look was created by Quintero, with makeup artist Charlie Riddle also credited for the beauty styling.
Quintero’s process followed a salon blowout sequence: add styling products to damp hair, create lift while blow-drying in sections, add shape with a curling iron, allow the curls to cool in pins, then brush and finish. He explained that the crown was overdirected during drying to build height. The source documents the stylist’s account; it does not include a product test, independent assessment of the products or a statement from Pidgeon about the look.
“I love a good blowout, and this look is all about volume, movement, and that effortless, sexy hair that never goes out of style.”
— Hairstylist DJ Quintero, in a statement quoted by Harper’s Bazaar
What the Gala Report Leaves Open
The report does not specify Pidgeon’s hair length, texture or preparation before styling, details that can affect how a blowout turns out. It also does not say whether the full product lineup was selected by the stylist for this event alone, how long the hairstyle held, or whether Pidgeon plans to repeat the look.
There is no statement from Pidgeon about the hairstyle or the process, and the source does not establish that this routine is suitable for all hair types. Quintero’s description and product list should be understood as the stylist’s account of this particular look, rather than a guarantee of a matching result.
No Further Look Announced
The source reports on a completed gala appearance and does not identify a follow-up event, new hairstyle or additional comment from Pidgeon. For now, the confirmed development is the red-carpet blowout and Quintero’s explanation of how he styled it. Any next change in Pidgeon’s beauty styling remains unknown.
