The “wet look” has been popping up practically everywhere. From the runway to the streets, girls everywhere are rocking that “just took a dip” look. The great thing about this style is that it is incredibly simple to do and it works with practically any attire. Ball gown? Bikini? Sundress? The wet look will work with all of them. Looking through the recent ads by Versace (made famous by Gianni Versace) you will find loads of glamorous models decked out with sultry eyes and sleek hair. Here are some of the fabulous designs that have made their debut in the new campaigns:

This stunning behind-the-scenes pic of Gisele Bundchen in a beautiful blue Versace dress showed the model with deep-parted slick hair. Her hair is smoothed to the side for the perfect summer look. The”wet look” keeps your hair in place which is great for hot, muggy months.

These are a couple more striking shots of Gisele Bundchen in the new Versace collection. Her simple, slicked hairstyle really show off the unique designs of these two dresses. She looks fabulously bronzed and glowy which also really adds to the overall shot. Simple hair draws attention to her body and to the dress.

Gisele’s envy-worthy cheekbones and sleek hair almost steal the attention away from these shades. No one can rock Versace sunglasses and glasses quite like her. She even looks great with a natural makeup look. To replicate her supermodel style slick your hair to the side, contour your cheekbones like crazy, and rock your favorite pair of sunglasses.

Ok. So now do you believe us? The “wet look” is everywhere! Why? Because it is super simple to create and it holds hair in place perfectly. What more could you possibly want? It transitions from a gown to casual attire like short jumpsuits instantly. You can literally leave the beach with a “wet look”, change, and head straight out to a fancy schmancy date. The look is really versatile and it couldn’t be any easier.

Check out the incredible structure on these gowns. Can you seem them? Of course you can, because these simple, slick high ponytails create a sophisticated style that pulls hair up of the neck and out of the face and draws attention to your wardrobe. The great thing about slick styles is that you can wear a really intense eye and a really intricate dress and it still creates the perfect balance.

It looks good from behind! You can also wear this style with a messy, natural texture or you can wear it smooth and straight like the Versace models. High ponytails and updos are a great addition to this trend, but you don’t have to wear it up if you don’t want to. You can just comb the hair back and leave it down.

To achieve this look all you will need is a little pomade or gel. Make sure you use a product that has a lot of hold, but that doesn’t have too much shine and doesn’t cause stiffness. Comb your hair back and let it air dry or apply the product once hair is already dry. You can style it up or leave it down. Either way you will be all set for summer.
