If you are looking for a simple but nice formal hairstyle, come check out this one by Hayden Panettiere. She is the lovely young actress who plays Claire on the hit TV show "Heroes" and is wearing a strapless gold dress in this picture of her taken at The 2007 NBC Network Upfront. This would be a great look for a special event like a Christmas party, New Years Eve, or any other semi-formal evening. Her hair is pulled back in a low ponytail that is set off to the side. Her long locks are brought forward to drape over her shoulder and cascade down in the front. Very loose waves give off a feminine touch. Hair is side-parted and bangs comb to the side which is very popular right now.
