 Long, silky smooth, straight hair like we see here on Hayden Panettiere is perfect for a special evening out. Her bangs are pulled back and secured with a clip at the crown of her head. This is a very simple way to look elegant and sexy. Her big gold hoop earrings are a nice accessory that match her many bangle bracelets. She is wearing a blue gown in this picture of her taken at The 2007 MTV Music Awards in September.

Men in the 1940's usually wore their hair on the long side and all slicked back. This look was considered to be Hollywood glamorous for men. Bangs were actually grown out long to allow them to be able to style them appropriately for this hairstyle. Men back then visited the barber for their haircut needs and no doubt paid very little compared to what we pay today at the salon. This look is making a comeback for formal attire as seen with Brad Pitt on this post.

Emma Roberts is shown here with a cute updo that is embellished with a sparkley thin silver headband. She has pretty blonde hair that is styled straight and is pulled to the back into a messy looking bun which is situated low toward the base of her neck. The back is wound around in a circular motion and then attached with covered bobby pins with fringes of hair left out. Her shiny hair accessory adds a touch of glamour. Her look would be perfect for a special occasion or formal event.
