This week in London, model Cara Delevingne wore her hair high off her neck at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party. Just days before, singer Leona Lewis also went for the style to keep cool at BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend, as did Cheryl Cole during her promotional tour of Berlin. The high bun is ideal for Summer as it beats both the affect of frizz on your tresses and the weight and heat of hair on your neck. Vote below to tell me who wore it best!
On Wednesday evening, Camilla Dallerup and Elen Rivas hit the town with sky high buns for the Daily Mail Inspirational Woman of The Year Awards at the London Marriott Hotel. This weather-proof style is a great way to look sophisticated and chic without running the risk of the UK rain ruining your hair. Kate Beckinsale was even spotted in at the airport last week with her hair held high in a bun atop her head too. Would you ever wear your hair like this?
One of the chicest no fuss hairstyles that can take you from day to night is the donut bun. Situated on the crown of the head with all of the hair pulled back off of your face (with the exception of fringe, if there is any to showcase), the length of the hair is wrapped and secured in a round shape. AnnaLynne McCord was spotted sporting this look at an event in Los Angeles this weekend, Gwen Stefani wore it Christmas toy shopping with her son and Peaches Geldof went to a Herve Leger fashion party with her hair piled high to the sky. Out of these three dashing dames, who do you think wore the donut bun best?
As you can see, buns high on the crown of the head, aka, topknots are all the rage right now on the red carpet. This easy to achieve hairstyle is the perfect way to troubleshoot a bad hair day or show off a gorgeous necklace, pair of earrings, or detailed shirt or dress. Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing her slicky version last night in New York City at the Angel Ball, Chloe Moretz wore her looser style to Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood event, and Elizabeth Olsen wore one last week at the New York Film Festival. Follow these simple steps to create your own topknot at home, and shop the products you'll need below!
I love the look of a classic ponytail in casual- or formalwear. It's always in style and suits all types of hair textures. The fun aspect of ponytails is that you can make them high, low, loose, teased, and even leave the lengths curly, wavy, straight, or any way you please. It looks like pretty ponies aren't going anywhere for this season either. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, wearing her hair in a loose, centre-part ponytail backstage at the Michael Kors show yesterday. Michelle Trachtenberg was also spotted at a party in NYC donning a similar, yet slightly more sleek, style. And on the catwalk at the Milly show, the models wore their hair parted in the center in a medium-height pony. What's your favourite ponytail look?
Yesterday in Los Angeles, Kourtney Kardashian, Lauren Conrad, and Erin Lucas all wore their hair piled on top of their head in loosely tied knots paired with bold, printed dresses. These American reality TV stars from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, The Hills, and The City all look adorable in black, red, and white flirty outfits and easy, breezy Summer hair. Would you wear a top knot?
Over the weekend, Zara Phillips wed England Rugby captain Mike Tindall at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh. The wedding was a royal affair, as Zara is the Queen's granddaughter. The bride loves to ride horses and play sport, so it's no wonder that she wore her blond hair off of her neck in a low chignon on her wedding day adorned with a diamond tiara and wispy white veil. Throughout the weekend however, the two celebrated at the church rehearsal where Zara's hair was styled in a messy knot before celebrating the more formal rehearsal with her hair in a french twist. Out of these three updos, which do you think looks best on the bride?
With the warm weather heating up the air, it's easy to tie your hair up in a bun to keep it off of your neck and face. Have fun guessing who these three gorgeous celebs are that have been spotted sporting a top knot recently!
We're into Day Five already of New York Fashion Week and trends are already becoming apparent. So far, it looks like we'll be seeing buns ladies, and lots of them. And no, not that kind — the hair kind! Neat medium height buns ruled the Donna Karan runway, whilst intricate and more formal buns were apparent at the Monique Lhuillier show. A messy version of a high bun was seen at Vivienne Tam, but mostly, I'm seeing high slicky, high buns this coming A/W.
At the VPL by Victoria Bartlett show, models had their hair parted in the back, but it all came together in a neat coil at the crown. At Guishem, ladies walked the runway with a frizzified high-top hairstyle and at Cushnie Et Ochs a long feather accessorised the bun. This style is perfect for the kind of windy, rainy and snowy weather that Winter brings which makes me a big fan. I'm not sure I'll be flaunting a feather, but I do dig a bun. Do you favour this hairdo?
I love seeing Mandy Moore on the red carpet because she always seems so relaxed and smiley. She looked adorable yesterday at the UK premiere of Tangled with her hair in a high bun and a cute black cocktail frock surrounded by little girls in princess costumes. It's a fun and different twist compared to the other ways it was styled last week. At the Golden Globes she had it loose and flowy, and at the Critics' Choice Awards it was set in a relaxed, wavy updo. Out of these three hairstyles which do you like the most on Mandy Moore?
