Glam Hollywood Updos and Half-Up Styles

Brittany Murphy (28) out for the night wearing a lovely updo with her strapless evening gown. This side profile picture shows it was bunched together at the back and lifted up; then it was set with some big loose curls. The proportions of the curls look right with the rest of her hair style and its size. This formal updo design also a nice contrast between tight and loose hair.

Christina Applegate (32) with a good summer evening look. What does a perfect updo look like? This photo is an example of understated elegance. The blonde star has her bun tied together with an elegant amount of tension; it is neither too loose nor too tight. The cute soft waves and wispy stray strands make it pure feminine perfection.

Gwyneth Paltrow (31) with a formal chignon hairstyle. This low bun looks charming; the slight offset position to the side adds the romantic touch of a bygone era. The front view (below) shows you it's a half-up chignon and the half-down section is wavy. Lovely, soft, semi-formal to casual styling.

Gwyneth's elegant half updo (front view) on a special Hollywood occasion. Vogue magazine once called her a fashion icon and she continues to enjoy glamour at every Hollywood opportunity. Photos like these provide women with elegant and original ideas for dressing up.

Janel Maloney (34) also has a half updo style like Gwyneth, but her hair is tighter as well as higher at the back, and has less wavy hair down the sides.

Janel in a bright red plunging evening dress with sweet and pretty blonde hairdo. She has fairly thin hair but this style is working for her well, especially since she has a long neck.
