Model Chantilly, who is represented by Elmer Olsen, sizzles with [bouncy, soft waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calistas-bodywaver) courtesy of stylist Sophia Hsin at Plutino Group. Effortless, [lightly-applied eyeshadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and a killer pout complete summer's hottest look.

'Chantilly' by Dexter Quinto *almost* makes me want to spring for [extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-clipin-hair), if only to recreate this look on my own.

**Implications** - Sick of hard styles that emphasize the masculine, females are seeking out subtle looks that illustrate their femininity.
