2018’s red carpets were graced with some truly show-stealing hairstyles, from elaborate braids to towering beehives. We take a look back at ten of the best.
Ciara
US singer Ciara made her hair the focal point of her American Music Awards look, showcasing a tumbling mass of beautiful curls softened with caramel highlights that matched her nude makeup and glossy, neutral lip.
Lupita Nyong’o
“Black Panther” star Lupita Nyong’o stunned with a super-modern structural updo for the movie’s premiere earlier this year, matching the style with a burgundy-colored, dewy-finish lipstick and a gunmetal-grey smoky eye.
Georgia May Jagger
Model Georgia May Jagger took monochrome fashion to the extreme at The Fashion Awards earlier this month, by teaming her powder-pink trouser suit with a headful of hot pink hair.
Millie Bobby Brown
“Stranger Things” actress Millie Bobby Brown rocked out with double buns at the Screen Actors Guild Awards back in January, accessorizing the look with black ribbon.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s intricately laced, corset-style fishtail braids for the Grammy Awards were both offbeat and elegant, with the deceptively simple style complementing the slightly gothic style of her lace bodysuit.
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart’s striking and versatile look for the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival covered all the bases — the look featured delicate braids, a rat-tail, and a raffish quiff.
Naomie Harris
Naomie Harris kept things fashion-forward at the BAFTAs in February, with an elaborate, braided top knot, a lightly smudged smoky eye and a pale pink lip.
Cardi B
Rapper Cardi B debuted a gamine cropped hairdo at the MTV VMAs in August that highlighted her bone structure and brought the attention to her feathery, dramatic lashes.
Andra Day
Singer Andra Day rocked a towering beehive at the Grammy Awards, teaming it with clashing red and purple makeup for extra impact.
Marion Cotillard
Marion Cotillard added a dose of red carpet attitude to her Cannes Film Festival look with a slicked-back choppy blonde bob and a crisp red lip.
