Jennifer Love Hewitt shows us some formal charm with this classy updo with side-swept bangs. We often see Jennifer with this type of bang that slightly covers one eye for that peak-a-boo romantic style. This easy updo would look fantastic for many special occasions such as weddings or school dances like prom, or even for a classy day at the office. Who says a little flirty hairstyle does not belong at the office?
