Almost all women look to their favorite celebrities for style inspiration, both in clothes and in hair. Celebrities are almost always in the center of any big, formal event, making them some of the most highly photographed people. These individuals, together with their team of personal stylists and hairdressers, set the current trends in jewelry, accessories, shoes, clothes, and hair.

Events such as the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards are only some of the more formal occasions that bring out the most sophisticated and glamorous looks from our favorite celebrities. Amazing formal dresses, dazzling jewelry, and glamorous hairstyles flood the red carpet at these events and when it comes to hairstyles, the pull back or the updo ranks high on the list of celebrity favorites for this year.

The updo refers to any variation of hairstyle where in either short or long hair is pulled back, either low, near the neckline or high, nearing the top of the head, and held back with beautiful pieces of hair accessories such as pins, bands, and combs. The numerous variations on the updo all do have one thing in common celebrities are going for the asymmetrical look, something a bit more casual and less structured.

Some celebrities go for the now very popular side part, with straight sleek hair pulled back to a bun; some also prefer to have wavy or curly hair instead of straight. Either way, the low bun with a side part works on almost anyone. The younger crowd is also going for well-placed tendrils that frame the face, enhancing the facial features. This look is most often achieved by a cutting technique done by hairdressers.
