Hours before guests descended on the Plaza Hotel for Truman Capote\u2019s 1966 Black and White Ball, the nearby salon run by\u00a0Kenneth Battelle\u00a0hummed like a wartime munitions factory. A master of discretion whose clients included Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, the mononymous Kenneth played sculptor and traffic cop. \u201cWe had a lot of wives, ex-wives, and mistresses that we had to hide in different places,\u201d he later recalled. \u201cSome of these hairdos required up to seven hairpieces at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The so-called Svengali of the Silver Scissors had his finger on the pulse of high society, conjuring bouffants that acted like manicured hedges: beacons of elegance and reserve.\u00a0Babe Paley, a Kenneth regular portrayed by Naomi Watts in FX\u2019s\u00a0Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,\u00a0epitomized this lofty perfection. The production\u2019s wig designer, Chris Clark, who also styled Watts, re-created that silhouette. A self-professed research nerd, he likes to use a period-style setting lotion while simulating the effects of a hood dryer. \u201cThen I tease and smooth and tease and smooth,\u201d he says, \u201cand really try to find Babe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Puffed-up coifs are turning heads elsewhere.\u00a0Palm Royale,\u00a0the Apple TV+ show set in late-\u201960s Palm Beach, presents an array of towering salon dos. Kristen Wiig plays a bumbling striver with DIY pin curls\u2014her level of finesse is \u201ca little bit off,\u201d says hair department head Karen Bartek, who looked after Wiig. For Schiaparelli\u2019s\u00a0spring 2024 runway, Guido Palau crafted a pair of bouffants (designer Daniel Roseberry is a Texan, after all), aided by hairpieces and a new Zara\u00a0hairspray. \u201cI\u2019m attracted to doing these extreme sculptures,\u201d Palau says, \u201cbecause they\u2019re so in your face.\u201d To him, a proper set is more subversive than half-shaved pink hair.<\/p>\n

Amplified volume, with its feminine edge, has a way of declaring, \u201cI\u2019m here!\u201d says Mara Roszak, whose hair care line R\u014dz added a clean-propellant\u00a0root lift spray\u00a0this awards season. It can boost a soft blowout (as she showed on Emma Stone for the Golden Globes) or be dialed up \u00e0 la Amy Winehouse (the subject of an upcoming biopic). Going rogue is an appealing tack, to judge from Marc Jacobs\u2019s\u00a0spring 2024 show, where hairstylist Duffy layered wig upon wig for cloudlike coifs inspired by Diana Ross and Elizabeth Taylor\u2014more punk than polished.<\/p>\n

That irreverence lurked in writer and gal-about-town Sarah Hoover\u2019s teased updo for a recent Chanel event near the Plaza. On Instagram, the wry (and pregnant) Hoover\u00a0mused: \u201cHave we considered what might happen if we just let the mob wives and the swans join forces against the husbands\u201d?<\/p>\n
