Maria Menounos in Long Straight Down Formal Hairdo on Red Carpet

Red carpet reporter Maria Menounos shows how sexy big hair can be on a formal occasion, even if it's straight.

The hot brunette has all kinds of volume--more than most star hairstyles, and more than she usually has--by lifting her hair at the crown and pinning it slightly up at the back.

Maria treated us with this timeless big mane several years ago when she was wearing a strapless black formal dress and matching stole at a big ABC party.
