Place a cool half-up topknot at your crown, keeping the rest of your hair down and loose, like Margot Robbie.

Wrap a thin ribbon a few inches around a low ponytail. Stick to a shade that matches your natural hair colour to keep it looking sleek, or make a statement with a contrasting colour, as seen on the Suno runway.

Try adding a thin braid right by your ear, like Ciara did, for super-subtle detail. Then apply shine spray all over to pick up your hair’s natural lustre.

Try crisscross pins

Crisscross bobby pins like Kate Mara for a graphic pattern that you’ll  want to show off. Try with silvers or gold pins for a light-catching alternative.

Create one braid down the centre of your head for an edgy vibe. We love how Kate Bosworth rocked the look.

Try double-braided buns

Pro tip: You’ll have to work with your hair upside down to create the braids. Our favourite thing about this look? It’s a #showstopper from the front and the back.

A dramatic part – as seen on the Chanel runway – will upgrade any look. Pair it with a low bun to keep the styles from competing. Bonus: It also looks more elegant.
