Updo

Emma Roberts wore a modern French twist, inspired by the classic style worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival premiere of her film It's Kind of a Funny Story. "Emma is such a classic beauty, so I wanted to create a look that was sophisticated, but still fit with her youthful personality," said Nexxus Creative Director and celebrity stylist Kevin Mancuso, who created this feminine updo. This ode-to-Audrey hairstyle couldn't be more timely, as soon we'll all be thinking about what costumes to wear to Halloween parties. (And you can never go wrong with a style inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's, no?) So to get Mancuso's tips, just keep reading.

Updos can be costly and keep you in the salon for hours. Not every occasion requires such posh styling. What you didn't know is that most updos can be created with a maximum of eight bobby pins. True story! Below is the how-to for this deconstructed 'do. Note, I did it two times. The beauty about this style is each time the updo is slightly different — organic beauty!

1. Separate the hair in two sections.
2. Twist each section in your hands.
3. Cross over the sections and twist the ends together.
4. Tuck and roll the ends, then secure pins in an 'X' formation.

You never know what kind of look Kristen Stewart will pull out on the red carpet, and that's why we love her. Last night at the Eclipse premiere, she gave a fresh twist to an elegant updo.

To re-create the look yourself, all you need is five key tools and products: a volumizing whip, a round brush, hair dryer, some pins, and hairspray.

Alicia's having a big day: she just announced that she's pregnant and engaged to her boyfriend, Swizz Beatz.

While voluminized, slicked-back hair and dramatic pompadours may be having a moment, highly stylized swirly updos appear to be the latest thing hitting the red carpet. Marion Cotillard wore this asymmetric twist in Cannes earlier in the week, while Jada Pinkett Smith opted for a rolled version of the style last night in NYC, and Kate Beckinsale wore a pompadour/chignon combo at yesterday evening's annual amfAR benefit. If you're like me, you probably have a few formal-style events coming up this Summer, and I think this swirly style would be elegant, fresh, and unexpected. What do you think of this sweeping style? Would you roll with it?
