Haute Hair for New Year’s Eve
Nothing tops off a fabulous holiday party outfit like a smoking hot hairdo! But with so many options out there, it’s hard to come up with an appropriately festive ‘do that suits your personal style. No worries — we’ve done all the hard work for you! From Gabrielle Union’s fab bob to Beyonce’s retro chic waves, here are our pics for the most dazzling holiday party hairstyles of the season — guaranteed to keep you looking fierce and festive through New Year’s!
Braided Beauty
With her Swiss Miss-esque braided style, Zoe Saldana looks ready for an elegant soiree.
Easy Breezy
Sometimes the simplest hairstyles have the most impact. Exhibit A: Leona Lewis’ loose, messy fishtail braid. Add heavily lined eyes and nude lips to round out the look.
Retro Fab
Beyonce goes for Old Hollywood glamour here with layered, softly cascading waves. Very Veronica Lake!
Short & Sweet
If you have a short cut like Kelly Rowland’s, sweep your long layers forward and across one eye for a sultry look.
Head Gear
Add a goddess headband like Kimberly Elise for some extra shine.
Haute Holiday
Nothing says “festive” like a high, sleek ponytail paired with silver eyeshadow and crimson lipstick. So holiday!
Curly Cues
Add some ooh-la-la to your bob by setting it on hot rollers a couple of hours before the party. When they cool, shake them out and finger-style.
Messy Mama
For a cool, messy chic vibe, try sweeping your waves back in an unstructured bun, leaving out face-framing layers.
Seventies Siren
When in doubt, a Farrah Fawcett-esque feathered hairstyle is always sexy, flirty and festive!
