Loose Breezy Bun
Yes, even women with short hair can sport buns. Just take the ends of your hair, curl them to the side and then secure it with lots of bobby pins. Tug loose a few strands and give them some curl to soften the look, just like Emma Stone and you are all set to go to an elegant red carpet event.

Pixie Bob
The ever-beautiful and elegant Helen Mirren wanted all eyes on her gorgeous dress and jewelry, so she kept her platinum-silver hair simple. The look can be achieved by air-drying your pixie cut and sweeping the bangs casually to the side.
Side-Swept Pixie
For a low-maintenance but sweet pixie cut, add just a bit of texturizing mist to your hair and blow-dry the long bangs to the side in an artless way. Get your inspiration from Michelle Williams.
Edgy Textured Lob
The Oscar-winning actress always turns head on the red carpet. Her choppy and textured lob ends just one or two inches above her shoulder and the edgy look is one of her best red carpet styles.
Tilda Swinton’s Super Pompadour
Tilda Swinton has worn her hair super short for several years and has tried dozens of glamorous styles on it. This one features a very extra pompadour that flips her long front hair back. The actress has left her side hair much shorter and it makes for a super-cool and fun style.
Straight & Slick Bob
If you have fine and short jaw-length hair, style them super-straight, like Olivia Wilde. Part your hair on the side and use just a few dabs of pomade to make it slick and glossy.
Cropped Curls
A gorgeous and glamorous way to dress up your hair is to curl it up. For some dimension, add dark and light gold highlights as well as some shimmer, just like Paris Hilton.

Choppy Layers
The look works best on second-day hair. If you don’t want to do that, use some texturizing spray to make your jagged layers stand out, like Emma Stone. Part your hair in the middle for a chic and effortless look.

Spiky Bob
Even though Katie Holmes sported this look years ago, it is still one of her best looks. Ask your stylist to dye your hair a beautiful shade of chocolate-copper brown. Then add some styling gel and use a brush and blow dryer to make your hair turn outwards in uneven spikes.
