Zhang Ziyi's Bedazzled Chignon
Take any updo from day to night with your favorite piece of costume jewelry. Simply pin in place, and secure using 'invisible' bobby pins.

Julie Benz's Textured Braid
A brilliant twist on a classic look. To achieve a similar texture, tease the bottom half of your hair, set with hairspray, then sweep to the side and braid as usual. Finish by wrapping a small piece of hair around a transparent hair elastic.

Angelina Jolie's Elegant Ponytail
High ponytails are back, and oh-so-easy to style. Just be sure to conceal your hair tie for a polished finish.

Kate Bosworth's Ballerina Bun
A perfect solution for unruly, greasy or damaged tresses. The key? A touch of shine serum/spray, all-over, to smooth and prevent flyaways.
