As Penelope Lannier in Luca Guadagnino’s drama mystery flick A Bigger Splash (which opens today), Dakota Johnson steals the screen with her sultry blonde locks. The 26-year-old actress plays the daughter of leading man Harry (Ralph Fiennes), who pays a sudden visit to his old friend, rock star Marianne (Tilda Swinton). When Marianne and her photographer boyfriend Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts) are unexpectedly interrupted on their island vacation, a passionate story is set into action.

Staying true to the intense theme of the film, Johnson looks appropriately seductive and yet perfectly effortless. If you’re aiming to instantly achieve her flawless beachy waves this weekend, here’s how to get her hairstyle from A Bigger Splash.

1) Start off by pulling your sleek strands back into a half-up hairstyle: For a sleek start to your spring-ready new hairdo, launch your look by pulling half of your tresses back into a low half-up and half-down style. Next, secure your strands in place for now.

2) Begin curling your strands from underneath: Once your hair is fastened into position, use a one inch curling iron to carefully curl the free-falling strands on one side. Continue the process for the other side of your hair too. Be sure to create loose, gently falling curls for an au naturel effect, and carefully spritz your styled locks with a finishing spray.

3) Loosen strands from your half-up style and continue styling: After you’ve perfected the first step of your curled hairstyle, take strands out of your half-up hairstyle and bring the curling process to the next level. Curl the top sections of your hair, and use your fingers to create texture if needed.

4) Volumize your loose curls and add styling product to lock in your style: As a finishing touch, lightly tousle your locks for a touch of volume. In order to keep your curls looking flawless all day long, gently work mousse through your beach waves. Use your fingers to keep any flyaway strands under control, and prepare to wow with your new, beach-appropriate look.
