But not brushing was key to keeping these gorgeous, textured waves defined, while maintaining volume. We wanted to look like we'd tumbled home from 12 hours at the beach too joyous and carefree to have thought about hair brushing. And TBH that's exactly how Bella looks. Joyous. She's never looked happier.

Focussing this year on wellbeing and what makes her happy, all we can say is following her heart looks good on her. And so does being so loved up with her literal cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos (slide 7).
