If you have long hair but are considering a shorter style, you don't need to dash to the salon just quite yet. Try out the look like Amber Heard with a faux bob, curling locks into an old Hollywood-esque look, and pinning the extra length underneath at the nape of your neck.

Zendaya had use reaching for our curlers the moment she stepped out on the red carpet with her glossy brunette tresses worn down in cascading curls. Recreate her look by curling from only midway down your head to keep the roots looking smooth – this look works better with long hair.

Olivia Palermo gave us major party hair inspiration as she channelled a Grecian goddess with an elegant half-up, half-down style. Keeping the top half super sleek, Olivia left the rest of her tresses loose and wavy, separating the sections with an eye-catching plait.

Volume is key if you want to recreate Katy Perry's bold red carpet look. Start by separating your hair into two sections, top and bottom. Take the top section and backcomb it to add volume, before securing with a clip or hairband - leave the rest of your locks down in tumbling waves.
