Hair accessories are in this season—and the chicest way to wear them is with an updo, as Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and 3.1 Phillip Lim proved on their spring 2010 runways. For vintage-y sophistication, the hair combs seen at Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel can't be beat (they won the best-in-show title of "most refined" in ELLE's March 2010 issue). However, if a fresh, youthful vibe is the aim, Lim's red leather barrettes are a surefire hit. In creating what she calls a "beautiful, simple, and innocent" do, hairstylist Odile Gilbert pinned tresses to the side with a barrette while tucking a similar barrette just behind the opposite ear. To keep hair in place, Gilbert molded strands into a "square bob" and coiled the ends in an off-center "snail bun" on the lower left side of the head.
