Newsflash: Jennifer Coolidge is fast-becoming our new beauty icon. Can you blame us? From her show-stopping look on the 80th Golden Globe Awards red carpet in January to her sophisticated glam at the premiere of Prime Video's Shotgun Wedding, every look has been a masterclass in bombshell beauty.

And it seems 'bombshell' was the brief for Jennifer's hair at the SAG Awards on Sunday night as her go-to stylist Sami Knight shared on Instagram, 'I really wanted Jen to be the ultimate bombshell today. This look is all about big volume, and soft waves.' Her look certainly fit the '60s aesthetic and was reminiscent of French style icon Brigitte Bardot, packing all the bounce, subtle long bangs and that all important Alice band needed to nail her look. To create the style, Sami relied on products that promise body, like the Living Proof's Full Thickening Mouse, £25, which was used as prep. It's lightweight and the perfect way start to any voluminous look.

Need more evidence of her beauty icon status? You need only look to the behind-the-scenes beauty prep shots served up by her trusted make-up artist Lilly Keys for the proof. The roster of big name beauty brands that we keep spotting in Lilly's kit – we're talking bestselling products from Charlotte Tilbury, Victoria Beckham Beauty and Beauty Pie – comes as no surprise - Jennifer has an eye for quality.

Clearly Hollywood's woman of the moment, Jennifer is setting beauty trends left, right and centre. Some of her most famous roles to date may send the beauty industry up - nail technician and bend-and-snap extraordinaire Paulette Bonafonté or Norwegian salmon-eating Botox-obsessed Fiona spring to mind - but Jennifer's real-life take on beauty is no laughing matter, The White Lotus star has curated a signature beauty style and we're taking notes.

Jennifer became a Victoria Beckham Beauty muse this year, no less. That Golden Globes look involved a number of VB's products and drew major inspiration from iconic '60s sirens, namely Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren. Speaking about the look, make-up artist Lilly noted 'Jennifer already has a very Bardot look about her,' and she sought to amplify those features by elevating the look with a statement soft winged eyeliner, fluffy lashes, glowing, flushed skin, and nude lips. Keen on giving yourself the JC makeover? You'll need to keep some of these to hand.
