Joanne's long and formal hairstyle here at the London Evening Standard British Film Awards 2012 is loosely curled.

Joanne Froggatt

The color is blonde with highlights and lowlights. The strands at the top of the crown are pulled back and secured for a partial updo effect. The bang area is left down to allow fringe to softly frame the face. A little back combing at the top will add lift. This is an elegant way to show off the length that cascades down the back. She is wearing a floor length white gown and carrying a grey clutch.
