If you are a professional woman, the chance is big that you find it extremely boring to wear the same dull hairstyle each and every day to your office. Well, do you really think that there is little scope to jazz up your workplace hairstyle and look fabulous, while maintaining an ultimate professional appearance?
1
FAME-FRAMING WAVES
Rachel McAdam’s low bun is proof that not all updos are stuffy, thanks to the pieces of wand-curled waves framing the edges of her face.
2
RAKED-BACK TWIST
You don’t need long hair to pull off a soft twist because, fun fact, Emma Watson’s hair is actually only chin-length. As long as you’ve got a ton of bobby-pins and hairspray, you can pull off an updo with any cut.
3
PINNED CURLS
Even the most well-behaved of curls will frizz and poof under the heat of a summer wedding. Don’t try to fight them. Just part your hair, à la Kiersey Clemons, loosely clip back one side, and let your curls fall where they may.
4
SOFT BRAIDS
Perfectly woven braids can feel juvenile, but Ellie Bamber’s twisted and messy updo looks definitively romantic. Gently tug on the edges of your hairline to loosen short layers for an even softer finish.
5
SLEEK TOPKNOT
A topknot by any other name is, uh, still a topknot. But a glossy, slicked-back topknot adorned with golden flowers, i.e. Zendaya’s look, is a statement.
6
SIDE-SWEPT CHIGNON
You don’t need bangs to copy Keira Knightley’s undone chignon—just make a deep side part with your fingers (the messier, the better) and let your hair fall softly over your forehead and ears before twisting into a chignon.

BRAIDED CHIGNON
Behold the perfect example of a braided knot that doesn’t feel severe or bookish—thanks to Zoe Saldana’s mix of a smooth hairline with a soft crown.
8
VICTORIAN-LEVEL PONYTAIL
Soft, loose, and wispy, Nicole Kidman’s just-ran-through-the-fields ponytail is straight out of a Jane Austen novel, while the black satin ribbon keeps the look feeling polished.
9
WET-LOOK WAVES
Stave off summer frizz by opting for Shay Mitchell’s slicked-back, side-parted wave that’s as Old Hollywood as it is modern.
10
PILED-HIGH CURLS
Scooped back and pinned up, Nathalie Emmanuel’s natural curls feel like a lewk, rather than an afterthought.
11
FINGER WAVES
Is there a time where finger waves weren’t in style and ridiculously gorgeous? No. The answer is no. And Naomi Watts proves it by turning her lob into a soft, brushed-through finger wave.
12
FLOWER-CROWNED UPDO
Yes, we realize a flower crown isn’t exactly groundbreaking for summer, but Kirsten Dunst makes the cliché feel new by pairing her floral headband with smooth, side-swept bangs.
13
BARELY-PINNED BUN
A loose, gently pinned bun with wavy, face-framing layers, like Michelle Williams’, is the ultimate foundation for summer wedding hair.
