These celebrity-inspired hairstyles will help you learn the latest red-carpet looks but will also assist you in adapting to the style that best suits your personality.
1. Side-parted Tousled and High Updo
A side-parted updo can best show off the stunning highlighted ends and messy hair. Make a loose updo up the nape of your neck or to the top of your head. Finally, secure it with bobby pins or a barrette, as seen on Bella Hadid in the photo above.
2. Mid-parted Mid-length Curls
This is your hairstyle if you have mid-length bob hair with curls. Texture those short, precise layered curls with mousse and give them many volumes to make them stand out.
3. A Sleek Beehive Bouffant Hairstyle
Puff up your crown and create a sleek beehive updo or bouffant at the back of your head. Take a cue from Beyonce, as shown in the example above. Bobby pins are used to hold the hairstyle in place. If you’re having trouble, seek the assistance of a hairstylist.
4. Braided Bangs with a Low Ponytail
Use a lot of mousses to add volume and texture to your long-length hair. Pull your hair back into a ponytail, but take your bangs and braid them for a stylish hairstyle like Maria Menounos’s.
5. Long Waves with a Golden Headpiece
Use mousse to add volume, shine, and texture to your wavy or curly hair, as Zendaya did on the red carpet. Wear a large golden headpiece that is pinned back at the crown.
6. Mid-parted Sleek Bun with an Accessory at the Back
Make a centre part up to your crown and pull all your hair back at the nape of your neck to form a low, firm twisted bun. You’ll look even better with the subtle wax-applied sleek-and-shiny finish. Choose a ribbon or bow to accessorize it, and try the Ashley Graham look.
7. Long, Messy and Side-swept Braid Hairstyle
Part your long layered hair to one side, braid a loose and messy ponytail and sweep it over the other shoulder. You’ve just perfected the celebrity look! Take a look at the photo of Maya Jama above.
8. A Low Ballerina Bun with a Center-parting
In 2003, Jennifer Lopez’s sleek and sculptural updo with a ballerina bun and a centre part looked great with her unusual minty green eyeshadow and coral-pink lipstick.
9. Pineapple Ponytail Accessorized with a Golden Thread
Inspired by Lupita Vernon Francois’s look, this is a great high updo hairstyle for frizzy, curly, shiny hair. Twist your hair at the crown of your head and fold it into a pineapple ponytail. Tie a golden thread around it, and you’re finished!
10. Bob with Retro Waves
While the rest of the world is looking for celebrity dress codes, we are more interested in their trendy hairstyles. Smooth your hair sideways to create a retro look for your bob.
11. Platinum Pixie with Retro Waves and Bobby Pins
This sleek and short hairstyle proves that red-carpet hairstyles aren’t all about fussy hairdos. Style the pixie-cut (platinum-colored here) hair into retro waves and wrap the bangs with Bobby pins to achieve Ciara’s look.
12. A Blonde, High and Side-Swept Ponytail
Inspired by Beyonce, this amazing hairstyle features subtle waves and eye-catching blonde hair. Pony up the waves on top of your head and twist the ponytail to the side of your shoulder.
13. Messy Bangs with a Messy Updo and a Metallic Headband
To achieve Ciara’s ‘oh-so-gorgeous’ look, you must seek the assistance of a professional. It may take some time to tease and texturize the waves and turn them into an appealing messy updo, but it is well worth the effort. Wear a metallic headband to complete the look.
14. Semi-collected Voluminous Waves with a Hair Accessory
Although this outstanding hairstyle is similar to the famous waterfall hairdo, it is much simpler. Curl the ends of your voluminous blonde hair into thick textured rippling waves. Now, braid up one side, pin it in the back, and add a pretty accessory.
15. Messy Half-up Hairstyle with a Puffy Front
This Red Carpet hairstyle will bring out your natural womanly beauty and make you look charming in no time. Keep your crown loose and volumized while pulling all your hair back at the base of your neck and twisting it in multiple small sections to create a puffy print and a messy half-up.
16. A Top Bun with Razored Bangs
This solid high bun inspired by Rihanna, with a puffy top and razored bangs, is appropriate for casual and formal occasions. The long, divided front fringes have perfectly balanced the look.
17. A Sleek, Retro and Low Updo
Regarding Red Carpet hairstyles worn by our favorite celebrities, retro waves or vintage curls cannot be overlooked. This is a very retro look that incorporates highly textured, and side sweep waves into an updo. Diana Penty can inspire you for your next look.
18. Combed-back Waves for Short Hair
Add volume to your top and gently roll or comb it back. Your short hair’s lower section should be straight but blunt. Create and secure waves to the side now. You’re all set to go with your Scarlett Johnson-inspired hairstyle.
19. Platinum-Blonde and Side-swept Bouffant Updo
For a sharp jawline like Lady Gaga’s, wear a platinum-colored bouffant with a subtle wavy texture to draw all attention to your face. Recreate this simple hairstyle to glam up for any occasion. Make sure the bouffant is swept to the side.
20. Semi-collected Thick Curls for Mid-length Hair
The only thing hotter debated than the 2016 presidential election is whether Jennifer Lopez’s oversized curls at the 2002 Academy Awards were fashionable. We, for one, adore them. Slicing back the top of your thick curls will allow you to semi-collect them.
21. Twisted Bangs and Waves Half-up Hairstyle
Separate your long, wavy hair into three sections. To create a nice shape, twist and texturize the top section, then secure it with bobby pins. Pull both sides tightly and pin them together at the back. Allow the rest of the waves to flow down your back gracefully.
22. Dreadlocks with a Tiara Accessory
Who says dreadlocks can’t be worn on the Red Carpet? This photograph of Ashley Nicole will completely alter your perception. Side-parted, relaxed black dreadlocks and a metal head chain are all you’ll need to pull off the look.
23. A Sleek Hairstyle with Flipped Bangs
Sleek textured flipped bangs to the side can always complement a small bun. Pull your hair back at the nape of your neck and twist it into a small twisted bun with free ends. Then, take your bangs from behind and flip them to the front.

26. Mid-parted Face-framing Layered Hairstyle
Take a cue from Priyanka Chopra and smooth your long, centre-parted hair into large, face-framing waves. Set them on your shoulders and spritz them with hairspray to set the style—one of the most stunning looks available.
27. A High Loop Bun with a Head-net Accessory
Most celebrities prefer a hair-wrapped sleek half-bun or loop-bun for a smart and attractive look. In this case, a pretty net-like accessory has added zing to the otherwise simple half-bun.
28. Side-swept Bangs with a Chin-length Bob

34. Half-up, Half-down Hairstyle with Side-swept Bangs
Apply serum or pomade to your straight hair and form a half-up ponytail to give it a cute, slicked-back look. Curl up the ends of your hair slightly to create a flared look similar to Ariana Grande’s. Also, slick your bangs to either side. Isn’t it lovely?
35. Sleek Half-up Bun Hairstyle
Half-ups are one of the most classic and flattering red carpet-hairstyles. The key to success begins with having the right tools. Slick your hair back and form a half bun at the top while waving the rest of your hair up.
