Updos
We could go on all day about our love for the classic topknot, but we’ll save you the boredom and just tell you that this polished look that New Girl’s Hannah Simone is rocking is perfect for practically any event you’re attending this season. From cocktail parties and graduations to birthday parties and showers, a shiny topknot will pull your hair back and put the focus on your beautiful face.

Updos
Long live the classic ponytail! This style has been faithful to us ever since our childhood, and it sure is fun to play around with new styles as grown-up gals. For an unexpected twist on the typical shiny, high pony, mix things up a bit with one that falls in the middle of your hair and has wispy waves. The style Ashley Benson wore here is fun and youthful, yet also totally event-appropriate.

Down 'dos
Heading to a black tie wedding? Then your hair needs to look the part! Go for an on-trend sideswept style like Jennifer Lawrence sported to this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. The look is sophisticated but also somewhat off your face, so you won't be fussing with your strands all night long.

Down 'dos
When all else fails, you really can’t go wrong with a chic blowout. Head to your favorite salon or one of the countless blow dry bars that are popping up around the country, and ask for the Kate Middleton: Bouncy, shiny, beautiful locks that will get you compliments for days.

Messy Chic
These days, messy is beautiful. From the runways to the red carpet, lived in locks are all the rage, and we couldn’t be more excited. Heading to a casual beach wedding? Make a little effort and create an updo, but leave it messy and wispy, like Carrie Underwood’s.

Messy Chic
Another topknot – are you really surprised? The style only takes a few minutes, and looks like you’ve made a ton of effort. What could be better than that? The messy one Molly Tarlov wore here has a nice textured look that brings the look to a more casual place we love.

Beautiful Braids
Braids have been at the forefront of hair trends for a good year now, and it’s so fun to switch up the style of your braid. Lea Michele’s sideswept braid looks lovely paired with her messy bangs, and is a great unexpected look for your next event!

Incorporate a braid into your pulled back 'do for a boho chic look that is sure to work for any event you're heading to this season. Julianne Hough's style is intricate, polished and totally modern.

Half Up, Half Down
What’s more chic than beautiful beachy waves? We can’t think of anything! If you’re going to a bridal shower with the girls or a family graduation event where you can get away with something a bit more fun, throw a cute bow in your half up, half down messy beachy ‘do like Bella Thorne did here. Got bangs? The ‘do will look that much better if you part them down the middle!

Half Up, Half Down
Is it up? Is it down? Selena Gomez’s slightly pinned back ‘do is a bit of both. The polished curly look is mostly down, but pinned back ever so slightly on the side and combined with long, sideswept bangs that frame the singer’s face oh so nicely. Wear this look to a work event or a family gathering, and you’ll look oh so cute.
