History of Red-Carpet Hair

For as long as the red carpet has existed, so have many different styles of red-carpet hair. While understanding modern trends is important for achieving a trendy look, it’s also useful to look back on what came before and consider some of these styles as well.

The Golden Era

In the golden age of Hollywood, where movie stars were taking the world by storm with their talents and beauty alike, many classic hairstyles would emerge. This included elegant curls and updos, befitting the glamour looks everyone strived for. Diverse hairstyles were less common than they are today; however, they would begin to change as the years went on.

Midcentury Styles

In the mid-1900’s, the hairstyles of the red carpet continued to evolve. Following Barbara Streisand and her decision to wear a suit to the red carpet, people began to embrace more of who they were and what they wanted to wear. Cicely Tyson broke new ground by being the first black woman to embrace her naturally curly, coily hair on TV. Meanwhile, the changing decades brought their own flavor to the carpet, from the short and styled updos of the 60s to the large curls of the 70s and 80s.

Today

Today, women pretty much wear whatever they want to the red carpet. This means a wider variety of styles, including a wider variety of hairstyles, befitting the personality of the celebrity or the theme of the ensemble. One common factor nowadays is that many of the styles are actually rather simple, favoring natural beauty over difficult and time-consuming styling processes. 

Types of Red-Carpet Hair Styles

Because there have been a seemingly endless amount of hairstyles over the years, there are multiple categories, from the iconic and classic red-carpet updos to the casual, natural celebrity hair trends of the modern day.

Updos

Updos have been a staple of the red carpet since the red carpet has been around. You can go for a classic and elegant twisted high bun, the glamorous curls, or even the fun yet beautiful wavy top bun, as seen on Scarlett Johannsen. 

Long Hair

Long hair is versatile, and in nearly any way you style it, it’s going to look good. You have your choice of a lot of beautiful looks here. Stay casual and rock the Boho waves, go glam with deep curls or waves, or keep it straight and sleek. Whatever you do, don’t forget to style it with a good hair product to keep it from getting tangled or frizzy.

Short Hair

Short hair may be less to work with, but that doesn’t mean there are fewer styles to consider. Some short hairstyles to consider include the pixie bob with fringe, natural curls and waves, or even simply changing up your parting to get a fresh new look. 

Braids

Braids are an already beautiful hairstyle that can be used in many ways for a stunning red-carpet look. Wear them down for a classic long look, tie them into an elegant top bun, or wear them up in a beehive style — a good braid will never disappoint.
