Hot Buns
By Jessica DavidPA Photos
Moving on from the polished perfection of winter styles, now that spring is finally in the (h)air, celebrity locks take on a more carefree, fun and feminine approach to styling their movie-star manes. Hot buns reign supreme come spring - and we're not talking the Easter fare. Think relaxed and side-swept like Amy Adams, beach-babe twist á la Nicole or haphazard top knots courtesy of Sienna...

PA PhotosA body-beautiful bun is the order of the day for Sarah Jessica Parker - if your hair is too thin or short for this style, use false hair pieces to bulk out the bun for the kind of va-va-voom Carrie would covet.
PA PhotosBallet buns are set to be a huge trend this season, so it’s no surprise that such a snappy style icon like Chloe Sevigny has already showcased the trend on the red carpet. Use gel to add smoothness and slick the lengths back, and finish with a shine-enhancing spray for a glossy finish.
Rex FeaturesNow she’s just spoiling us! Fashionista Chloe Sevigny shows how to work the ‘bun’ by day too, by pulling locks into a haphazard, side top knot. Too cool for school! If you’ve got the length, create this look with your head tipped forward to guarantee you get the knot as far forward as possible.
PA PhotosTrust Jennifer Lopez to bring the bun to dizzying new heights of glamour. The look is polished, but it’s not too tricky to recreate. Simply tighten hair in a high pony and criss-cross ends and lengths over each other then secure with pins. There are no rules to this finish, so just go with it and have fun created your very own ornate up-do.
PA PhotosNaomi Watts is a huge fan of the bun - it’s always her red carpet do du jour. Her latest look blends red carpet glam with a carefree summer’s day. This swept-back, body-beautiful bun is great for all girls with natural thickness and curls.
PA PhotosKate Beckinsale’s bun sits prettily in the nape of the neck. Add a glitzy clip like this A-lister to take that style from beach to bar this spring / summer season.
PA PhotosWe just love, love, loved Amy Adams’ relaxed, side-swept, low bun that she flaunted amongst a sea of over-polished, over-coiffed up-dos on this year’s Oscars red carpet - not to mention any names, ahem, Renee Zellweger!
Rex FeaturesPenelope Cruz works the ballet bun, and shows just how pretty this style can look with a full-bodied fringe too! Very elegant, very Hepburn.
Rex FeaturesSienna Miller - never one to wear her hair OTT - sports a relaxed top knot and keeps those tendrils loose and carefree like any self-respecting boho babe.
Rex FeaturesSupermodel and super mother Heidi Klum has three little ones now but never seems to have an off day! This fabulous low knot combines two of spring/summer’s biggest hair trends - the bun and plaits - to create a real impact-making, statement style. We want!
