Formal Down Hairstyles for Prom

Pictures of pretty down hair styles to go with your evening dress...

"I was never into the updos," says Ashley Tisdale, "because everybody does them. I think long, flowing hair with waves is way sexier."

Presley Tucker (19) with long wavy hair. It looks piecey and sexy but it is getting close to being a little too informal for prom. Yet it would be perfect in most states or cities where country music is big. This down hairstyle has a good country girl glam vibe to it. (Presley is the daughter of Tanya Tucker and she lives in Nashville, Tennessee.)

Danielle Chuchran (14) with long curly prom hairstyle. She won Best Hair in her first beauty pageant many years ago and it still looks very pretty in this 2008 picture of the blonde starlet all dressed up for a special night out.

Diane Kruger (31) at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. The German blonde beauty wore a navy blue, off-the-shoulder evening dress with ruching and fancy ornaments. Diane also had a sideparted down hairstyle with curls. It was set to one side (pulled back on the other side). It's a cute prom look with a 1940s or retro feel to it. This formal hair design completely opens up her face.

Christina Applegate (35) in a pale yellow evening gown with spaghetti straps at the People's Choice Awards. This is a gorgeous red carpet hairstyle for teens who like to wear their hair down. It is layered and lovely. The whole formal look of pretty curls and feminine dress looks wonderful.

Teen girl wearing her hair down for evening out. She has long loose curls in a style that looks really dimensional. Some of the strands are highlighted dark blonde. Great formal curly texture.

Rosamund Pike with long, straight, pretty hair enhanced by subtle teasing. Easy and definitely simple but very attractive. A celebrity down hairstyle that works for women of any age.
