1. French Bun
Jada Pinkett-Smith is well-known for her edgy and cool hairstyles. But this one really wows! She wore a beautiful slick-back French bun at the American Theatre Wing’s 64th Annual Antoinette Perry Tony Awards. The hairstyle is chic and apt for all occasions.
2. French Braid Halo
Scarlett Johansson has always been one of the most stylish and glamorous actors. Her hairstyles are usually chic and simple. The dark roots act as a perfect base for the blonde halo. And this hairstyle is perfectly complemented with her minimalistic makeup and jewelry. This beautiful braided halo is from the “Avengers Assemble” premiere at the Vue cinema Westfield, London.
3. Side-Swept Pixie
At the premiere of Exodus: Gods And Kings, Sami Gayle proves that if you’ve got the looks, the right attitude and the confidence, even a long fringe can look good, like this sexy side-swept pixie that pushes the boundaries. We love it. Licensed cosmetologist Dawna Jarvis offers some saying, “Pomades work best for styling this hairdo.”
4. Bob With Blunt Bangs
Dawn Oporter’s blend of blunt bangs meeting the red carpet round bob is the hairstyle we want this season. Classy, refined and elegant, Dawn’s hairstyle is the easiest way to update your sleek bob – just don’t forget to add that face-framing bangs! Licensed cosmetologist Dawna Jarvis agrees with our pick. She adds, “The face-framing fringe adds such a flair to this timeless look.”
5. Swept Up Hairdo
What a gorgeous swept up ‘do Carey Mulligan was rocking at the 57th BFI London Film Festival. Short, neat and chic – the hairstyle can be duplicated by using some strong-hold hairspray, a comb, and a handful of pins. You just can’t stop staring at it, can you?
6. Shaggy Bob With Side-Swept Bangs
At the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, Melanie Laurent looked gorgeous, and while we couldn’t imagine this shaggy bob suiting the French beauty, the side-swept bangs brought out her smokey eyes and facial features. The actress matched her hairstyle with mocha brown lips and finished her stunning look.
7. Tousled Bob
Hottie Berenice Marlohe proves that the tousled bob is enough to make a major red carpet statement. A great bob hairstyle for thick hair, the actress pairs her bouncy locks with a dramatic eye makeup and mocha brown lips for the maximum sex appeal.
8. French Twist
As if we need to tell you how gorgeous Amber Heard looks here with that soft French twist. And if that wasn’t enough, the actress added oodles of oomph to her hairstyle by pairing it with Vionnet gown, flawless makeup and glossy lips. This is an amazing French twist hairstyle for short hair.
9. Asymmetric Bob
This is one seriously asymmetric bob! Actress Marion Cotillard, with her minimal makeup, mocha brown lips and blue eyes looks every bit of a classic beauty. To recreate Marion’s sleek and smooth hair, remember to invest in a strong-hold volume mousse, hair straightener and some anti-frizz hairspray.
10. Subtle Ombre
Always one to show what magic tousled waves can do, Alexa Chung’s hairstyle has all the elements of a red carpet hit. The British model’s bob is classic yet modern, and her signature fringe swept to the side along in subtle ombre is mere perfection. Spawning a ton of copycats, the key to her look is – plenty of heat protection hair products, volumising mousse and tongs.
11. French Braid
Are you in search of French braid hairstyles for short hair? Always on-trend with hair trends, Twilight actress Kristen Stewart looks chic and edgy with her brunette bob in French braided up-do. This hairstyle, along with messy, loose tendrils is combined to create a romantic effect. The braid accentuates her face, creates the illusion of a slimmer face…and we like it! Dawna Jarvis, a licensed cosmetologist, loves this hairstyle. She says, “You will never go wrong when choosing this forever elegant French twist. It can be worn casually or dressed up for a night out!”
12. Wavy Pixie
Perfect for a graceful beauty like actress Audrey Tautou, this super-short wavy pixie is ultra-feminine. Not only that, Audrey’s pixie at the Palme D’Or Winners Photocall has never looked so good. That said, the hairstyle is a great everyday hairstyle, one that is easy-to-do, manage and looks stunning.
