Bejeweled Buns - Celebrity Hairstyles

Van Cleef & Arpels' ballet-inspired pins are précieux

Even if your childhood dreams of becoming a prima ballerina never played out, you can still be inspired by the art of dance. Pretty ballerina buns were everywhere on the fall runways—just in time to coincide with the launch of Van Cleef & Arpels's Ballet Précieux collection, pretty hair jewels celebrating the ballet and legendary choreographer George Balanchine. An extension of a collaboration between Claude Arpels and Balanchine in 1967, the line honors the ballet "Jewels", which was performed for the first time in its entirety by The Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House in Paris this winter.
