Take inspiration from these red carpet leading ladies and wow your guests with seemingly effortless A-list style. Lights, camera, amouré!
PA PhotosLea Michele, Golden Globes 2011
We just love Glee starlet Lea’s relaxed, gently curled side-do. Soft and romantic, with a side-swept fringe and low, loose bun, simply secure with a few strategically placed petals and you’re the star of your own fairytale.
PA PhotosSienna Miller, Golden Globes 2007
Achieve this Heidi-inspired, ‘halo’ style modelled by Sienna back in ’07 by investing in a faux hair braid that perfectly matches your natural colouring. Fix over a loose, centre-parted bun and leave strands around the neck and face to soften the look.
PA PhotosNatalie Portman, SAG Awards 2011
Award-winning actress-of-the-moment Natalie’s elegant chignon channels screen sirens of yesteryear and is perfect for glamorous autumnal affairs or winter weddings.
PA PhotosKate Winslet, Oscars 2009
Kate’s Grace Kelly-esque waves are a modern take on classic Hollywood glamour – and work especially well with one-shouldered wedding gowns.
PA PhotosMila Kunis, SAG Awards 2011
If your style is more understated, then go with it! Don’t feel pressured to over-style your locks into a look that simply isn’t you just because it's your wedding day. Gorgeous Mila’s ethereal waves would flatter a unfussy gown and simple veil to perfection.
PA PhotosJessica Alba, Oscars 2008
For Jessica’s red carpet look, think added volume at the roots, with relaxed, random braiding framing the face, then simply scoop back into a loose chignon. It's also worth thinking about colour - brunettes like Jess will benefit from caramel highlights to add interest and depth to this look.
PA PhotosScarlett Johansson, Golden Globes 2011
Always one to think outside the beauty box, Scarlett’s daring GG up-do was original and head-turning. Make like Scar-Jo and tease your locks into a body-beautiful bun with retro height and modern texture, securing with an elegant bejewelled slide.
PA PhotosJaime Winstone, BAFTAs 2010
Jaime’s retro curls are ideal for those looking to amp up the glamour on their big day, or short-haired brides looking to add interest to a standard bob.
PA PhotosCarey Mulligan, Golden Globes 2010
Short-haired birdes-to-be, be inspired by Brit beauty Carey’s elfin crop. The starlet’s Golden Globes style proved short-haired ladies can still look as pretty and feminine on their wedding day as those with tumbling locks – just dress-up your simple look with a delicate jewelled Alice band. Classic yet effortlessly chic.
PA PhotosMegan Fox, Golden Globes 2011
Amp up the glamour á la Megan with this elegant, Veronica Lake-esque shimmering style. Simply sweep retro waves over one shoulder for a sultry look that smoulders.
PA PhotosNicole Kidman, Golden Globes 2010
A romantic twist on the traditional up ‘do, Nicole’s dreamy side-swept bun would be a good match for asymmetric wedding gowns - simply wear the bun on the opposing side.
PA PhotosSarah Jessica Parker, SAGs 2009
A body-beautiful bun is the order of the day for SJP. If your hair is too thin or short come your wedding day for this style, use false hair pieces to bulk out the bun for the kind of va-va-voom volume even Carrie would covet.
