Red Carpet Updos That Work For Any Summer Event

Posted by July 13, 2012 9:15 am

Use a serum to keep your hair in line like this sleek, low ponytail worn by Kate Bosworth at the CFDA Awards. 

Hayden Panettiere's style is great for curly haired girls. Pin your locks back in a low and loose updo to achieve this style.  

A high bun, like this one on Kim Kardashian, not only keeps your hair from being a wild mess in the heat but it's easy to achieve too.

Volume is always in style. Jenna Dewan-Tatum shows that a high curly ponytail can look glamorous without being too childish.

Elizabeth Banks wore her long bangs in a middle part, while the rest of her hair is pulled back into a bun.

Add a fun accessory to your hair like Emma Stone at the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Jessica Alba rocks a mini bouffant and shows that once again volume is a great look for any occasion. 

Heidi Klum's low bun can be attained with any hair length.

Try a loose chignon like Maria Menounos. You can even leave a few strands out to give your hair a more relaxed look. 

Try a headband like Charlize Theron did at the Golden Globe Awards. It goes with any hair style and adds just enough sparkle.

Sarah Hyland soft, wavy hair looks great in a low chignon. This is great for summer night parties. 

Try pulling all your hair back in a sleek ponytail like Amanda Seyfried did. This draws attention to your face and allows you to play up your makeup.

Worrying about frizz in the summer is very tiresome. Instead of trying to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free when going to an event this summer, why not try a cute updo instead? These styles are not only easy to do, but will keep you from focusing on your hair when you are trying to enjoy yourself at an outdoor wedding or even your friend’s barbecue. On the red carpet, celebrities show off many different styles. While it is obvious that they have hairstylists who do their hair for them, we found some updos that you can try yourself at home.

Sleek top knots were seen on a variety of celebrities, and are often an easy look to do yourself. Charlize Theron and Emma Stone added chic accessories to their hair to give it some detail; Loose, wavy buns were seen on Sarah Highland and Hayden Panettiere; and Jenna Dewan-Tatum shows that ponytails aren’t just for little girls. These celebrities have flawless style and their red carpet looks can easily be done at home.
