Party hair inspired by the A-list

Follow in Alexa Chung's footsteps and add a touch of sparkle to a chic updo with a statement headpiece.

Loose, tumbling curls like Cat Deeley are not only a classic beauty look, but it's an easy look to achieve – just use some heated curlers or a curling tong.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini knows the power of tousled waves – and swept to the side they make for instant red carpet glamour.

Dakota Johnson proves a ponytail isn't just for daytime, with her brunette locks worn in a middle parting and her fringe worn to the sides for laidback chic.

For an updo with a twist like Jessica Alba, opt for a dramatic side parting and sweep into a low chignon.

If you're rocking a short bob like Jennifer Lawrence, wear it down in loose tousled waves for an edgy style.

If you haven't got time for a complicated updo, try Kate Hudson's side braid – it's super easy making it a great option if you're heading to a party straight after work.

Take a leaf out of Kim Kardashian's book and show off your edgy side with poker straight slicked back hair.

A slicked back low ponytail like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley makes for instant glamour, especially when paired with dazzling jewellery and a statement lipstick.

For Sarah Jessica Parker's show-stopping look, sweep your hair up into a large bun and then add a headband to keep any flyaways in place. This look works best on longer hair.
