When you think of the word elegance, there are likely a number of images that come to mind. A graceful bride walking down the aisle or perhaps a ballet performance. Some also might conjure up thoughts of a famous painting, or even a mathematical equation. For me, elegance is something timeless. Something undefined yet possessing a certain grace and simplicity. An updo. When it comes to elegant updos, Audrey Hepburn is the first name that comes to mind. She radiated elegance and her updos are still commonly emulated today. Our generation might include Catherine Zeta Jones or Meryl Streep, who could easily be described as ‘timeless’. For 2012 we recommend the use of braids for elegant updos. Jessica Alba Elegant Updo
In this picture, Jessica Alba omits a casual elegance with this fabulous hairstyle that could be an excellent choice for prom or homecoming. Depending on your personality and face shape, this could also be the perfect wedding updo. The ‘do’ works best for those with medium to long hair, a bit of wave and fine to medium thick hair. Catherine Zeta Jones Elegant Updo
The straight pulled back updo is a very simple way to achieve a glamorous, formal elegance. In the image above, Catherine Zeta Jones shows off a tightly pulled back full updo. It is clear that this look is as refined and as elegant as they come. The earrings, make-up and dress all complement the look perfectly. Penelope Cruz Elegant Updo
Penelope Cruz is also tops on our elegant actress list. In this image she is wearing a full braided updo
that could easily be imitated with any long hair type. This is a modern take on a timeless retro classic and
it suits her very well. This is a very formal hairstyle that could be used for your wedding, prom or other
formal gathering.
