Holiday Hairstyles - Celebrity Inspired Party Hair The eggnog-swilling, tree-trimming season is upon us yet again – and the holiday party invitations are flooding in. So many opportunities for divine hairstyles! For your soiree inspiration, we've complied eight supremely gorgeous looks for every hair type. Thank us later.
Sweet Bun
We don't know if its the sleekness, the sharp center part, or the few sexy escaped tendrils that make Gwyneth Paltrow's bun both festive and timeless—but it
so is. Amp up the party quotient with a sparkly statement earring!
Haute Hollywood
Emma Stone's Old Hollywood siren waves are sure to steam up the season…and they're easy to pull off. Simply separate hair into four or five sections, set on jumbo hot rollers and let cool. Finger-style and sweep one side back in a fun clip.
Twist and Shout
The pretty, pretty princess look never goes out of style—just check out Ashley Greene's romantic side-twists and Rapunzel tresses. Party perfection.
Best Accessory
Sometimes all you need to make a party-fabulous statement is a blingy barrette! Exhibit A: Jennifer Lopez's sweet curls and festive, iced-out clip…show-stopping, yet simple.
Seventies Siren
Wearing a major outfit? Keep your party do simple, a la Emily VanCamp's easy-breezy, seventies-style spirals. To do: Spritz hair with volumizing spray, wrap one-inch sections around the barrel of a large curling iron, and then shake out with fingers.
You’re the Top
Thanks in part to bun-happy Kim Kardashian, the severe topknot trend shows no signs of abating this holiday season. At once elegant and outrageously sexy (all that neck!), it's a genius go-to look for your most swanky soiree.
My Pretty Pony
Nothing says low-key elegance like Kate Hudson's long, nape-of-the-neck pony. So perfect for the party where you want to look like, “Oh, I just accidentally rolled out of bed looking this fierce!”). Get the look by wrapping small sections of your pony around the barrel of a ½ inch curling iron.
Curly Cues
Need a quick, easy way to sass up wild spirals? Take a cue from Kelly Rowland and rock a haute half-up/half-down ‘do with tons of texture in the back.
On the Side
Cosmo's December cover girl Taylor Swift shows off a simple way to up the glam factor this holiday season: Just curl your ends and sweep all of your hair to one side. Wonder if rumored new beau Harry Styles thinks it makes her beautiful?
A Fine Mess
We love updos that are just a wee bit unkempt and imperfect like Keira Knightley's. A few flyways can keep you looking modern and fresh, not matronly.
Show Us the Bounce
Fire up the hot rollers, ladies! Big, bodacious waves are not just for surfers as evidenced by Kerry Washington's sexy curls. We're pretty sure he'll be dying to run his fingers through that 'do.
Bobbing for Style
We can't get over how much we love Leighton Meester's post-Blair Waldorf cut. So sleek. So modern. All you have to do is sweep it back off the face and add a red lip for a gorgeous night out.
