How Kenna Kennor, Britt Lower’s Husband, Inspires Britt’s On- and Off-Screen Style

Britt Lower’s style feels effortless both on camera and while she grabs dumplings on Manhattan Avenue, but that coherence is no accident. It springs from the low-key partnership she shares with her husband, hair artist and Kennaland founder Kenna Kennor. Whether they are trading design sketches over espresso or hustling to a dawn call time, Kenna’s eye for movement, texture, and tone quietly frames Britt’s wardrobe and hair choices so her characters, as well as her real-life personality, speak with the same playful confidence audiences adore. Their creative dialogue began a decade ago on a London rooftop shoot and has evolved, haircut by haircut, outfit by outfit, into a language only they speak.

A Shared Aesthetic Born at Home

Step inside their Greenpoint loft and you notice how every corner hums with the couple’s blended taste. Kenna hoards vintage pottery in mossy greens, Britt drapes linen over armchairs in matching hues. He sketches shaggy silhouettes for upcoming shoots while she pins swatches of dead-stock denim beside the drawings, testing how washed indigo might echo the swoop of layered bangs.
Their refrigerator door doubles as a living mood board, crowded with Polaroids of Britt in flowing boiler suits, each look annotated by Kenna’s looping script about curl patterns and necklines. By letting the apartment become an organic studio, they blur the line between marriage and creative direction, so inspiration is as common as the teakettle whistle in the morning.

From Brooklyn Streets to Red Carpet Lights

Kenna’s salon mantra, “shape first, shine second”, guides every high-profile appearance. For the Severance premiere, he coaxed Britt’s natural wave into a loose halo that glimmered under marquee bulbs without hiding its mischievous kink. At Sundance, he slipped micro braids under her nape, anchoring volume so cameras never caught a flat angle after hours in mountain air.
He even weighs in on fabric, nudging her toward bias-cut silks that drape like freshly diffused curls, or tempered metallics mirroring the subtle glint of a gloss spray. The result is a seamless progression from Brooklyn sidewalk to photo pit—viewers sense continuity, not costume changes, because texture, color, and movement follow a single, thoughtful through-line.

On-Set Synergy During “Severance”

When Britt steps onto the Lumon Industries set, Kenna lingers near the craft-services table, ready with a discreet mist bottle and keen eye. Between takes he smooths a rogue flyaway, then quietly asks wardrobe to soften a shirt cuff that jars against her hair’s round silhouette. They debrief each night over slices from Paulie Gee’s, replaying lighting tests and framing notes on Kenna’s phone.
Did a cool overhead source desaturate her highlights, or did the camera’s close crop demand tighter curls? By folding those incremental tweaks into the next day’s setup, the pair keep Britt’s visual identity steady even as scenes jump between bleak fluorescent cubicles and intimate memory flashes. The crew calls it telepathy; the couple just calls it Tuesday.

Wardrobe Wisdom Beyond the Hair Chair

Working with hair teaches a stylist plenty about proportion, and Kenna applies that instinct when Britt selects clothes for press tours. If a blazer hem chops awkwardly at the hip, he proposes a curved peplum to mirror the bounce of her fringe. He loves garments that move—balloon sleeves that billow like blown-out bangs, culottes that swish in time with layered ends—because motion photographs better than stiff structure.
When Britt premiered her short film Circus Person, the official credits list quietly acknowledged Kenna’s behind-the-scenes support, a subtle nod to the way he shapes stories through fabric as well as follicles.

Everyday Rituals That Shape Identity

Beyond premieres and interviews, Kenna’s influence lives in small, daily moments no paparazzi will capture. He steams Britt’s vintage denim to keep the selvedge crisp, hand-rolls her bandanas so the folds echo her natural crown, and tucks a single gardenia at her lapel when they walk their dog through McGolrick Park.
Britt, for her part, wears the same sculptural silver rings to Sunday brunch that she flashes during late-night talk shows, because Kenna’s philosophy treats beauty as a ritual rather than a performance. Together they prove that style flourishes when rooted in intimacy, when the person who loves you also edits your silhouette, and when the off-screen life is styled with as much care as the close-up.
