If we should judge according to runways, is all about side parting of your hair, making it sleek on the top and leaving rest of your hair to fall in XL curls, hint of waves or even super sleek style. One more news is that no one yet decided to put ombre on the shelf until next retro round. Amber Heard wore this classy side swept hairstyle on 2013 Oscars. Key is to sweep your hair from one side and let it lie on the opposite shoulder like a genuine star from the golden age of Hollywood.

Blake Lively chooses her red carpet styles without ever making a mistake. Her chignon at Cannes Film Festival 2014 is total glam overdose. You could apply less effort and hair products if your hair is day old when repeating this style. Part your hair on the side, tease it a little on the crown and tie it in a low pony tail. Next you should tease your pony tail into voluminous pouf and smooth the surface with paddle brush. Secure the sections of your pony tail two inches from the elastic to conceal it. Create the body of your bun by securing the tips of your hair at the nape and curling them towards elastic. Apply hairspray in generous amount when you finish.

Cool elegance is trademark of Florence Welch (and her outstanding voice, of course). This irresistible messy chignon with blunt bangs was her choice for the Grammy Awards 2013 and we just have to bow on matching it with green outfit, as that is one of the colors which never fail a red-haired girl.

It is a bit contradictory to see how messy ’do can give such an elegant statement, as in case of Keira Knightley’s look for ’Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ movie premiere. After creating central parting, her hair was curled with curling iron and collected into this gorgeous, disheveled chignon. On a side note, you are very lucky if you don’t have to envy her on that delicate, long neck and her amazing, natural eyebrows. If you do, you can always reach out for navy smokey make up to complete the perfection.

If this was her backstage mood captured, then you can imagine how Gwen Stefani rocked on stage as a surprise guest at Hollywood Bowl this year. Gwen has two hairstyle passions: vintage and punk, and she is not rarely seen opting for both at the same time.

Well, hello wild side of 80’s again! Amber Heard arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of 3 Days to Kill’ movie wearing this adorable hairstyle! Her hair was blow dried with diffuser to create these loose, messy waves. When repeating this hair style, moderate frizz is just fine, so very small amount of volumizing hair creme is enough for the texture of natural straight hair. After deep side parting, apply hair gel to the side and on the crown (max 2-3” from your roots), roll the side section towards back and secure it with pins. Roll the ends of the back section inwards and pin them at the nape. Finger comb the crown section to lift your hair from the roots. Hairspray is optional, but this smile is a must!

Purple? Well, after all we are talking about Nicole Richie’s ability to impress with edgy fashion statement. Careful with purple hue if you are not ready to draw all that attention as you walk. It may appear that Nicole is wearing disheveled updo, but this is everything but that. There are six wide, wavy sections starting at sides and front, which are carefully set in place and fixed with hairspray, before they were finally collected at the back and tied into this low bun. Tip – you can try temporary hair color to see how purple works for you.

Rita Ora just became master of wearing bob hairstyle. In case you were thinking that you can’t create too many different styles with this hair length, here is counterargument. Apply generous amount of hair cream and blow dry your hair with medium size round brush. Side part your hair, rub small amount of creme between your palms and apply it to the side sections. Comb the left side and tuck it behind your ear. Comb the right side until sleek and pin it on the back of your head, leaving crown and back sections to conceal the pin. Remember the key word – sleek! Not the same as ”wet look” by any chance, so stick to creme instead of gel.

Isn’t this adorable? Amber’s glamoulicious knots are tied to create faux mohawk at the back of her head. At the front they are merging with a-la-pompadour pouf and forming this very much chic, disheveled updo. At first glance this hairstyle may appear complicated to repeat, but the base is only volumizing mousse and round brush blow drying. It’s up to you if you wish to slightly tease the front section or not before you tie it in a pony tail. Collect rest of your hair and make the second pony tail. Divide pony tails in two sections, coil each of these four new sections into loose buns and secure them with pins. Pull the front section little bit away from the elastic and finish-set it with your fingers. Mist your ’do with hairspray.

Kim Kardashian’s usual drop-dead-gorgeous, thick, long and healthy mane in all glam & polished edition at Met Ball 2014. We love her idea of loose, soft waves created with blow drying. They give such appealing, neat and vivid texture to long hair. Side parting should get a big ’yes’ from every long haired lady in need for instant elegance, but luscious tresses as these require some additional attention. Give a shot to argan oil based hair masks for a while.
