Emma Watson (20). Her evening dress was full of tulle and very girly, but the young star's haircut is the boyish pixie. The rad snip was unveiled last year and Emma claimed she found it liberating. Was she simply putting on a brave face? Probably not. Several months later she still seems to be pleased with it. Nothing is happening at the neat top. The best part is the cool bangs which are spiky with a variety of lengths and angles. Her "sideburns" are longer than you might expect since everything else is so short, but they assist in making her cut modestly more feminine. It's obviously not for every woman, but Ms. Watson is wearing it with complete confidence. As pixies go this one is better than average.
[+] Natasha McElhone (41) has a swanky chignon that could pass for a wedding hairstyle. Any bride could wear it comfortably. It's a sweet updo with the sweeping wave which is long and simple. The trick is the foundation of extra lift dead center at the hairline. One stray bit at the back could be neater if pinned down; other than that it gives beautiful tone for all elegant events.
Jessica Alba (29) has hit the red carpet with divine updos before, but this year in the UK at their most important engagement she tried two rows of braids. Is it better than just one, which is much more common with celebrities today? Maybe. Wrapping the hairline like this into a horizontal version of double french braids creates a highly structured look. Everything is so tight. That makes any frizz more noticeable. With this two-ring style it almost seems the only thing missing is a halo. Her forehead is large, so even though the design itself is acceptable, it's not her most flattering idea.
