Sometimes a simple ponytail that is secured low toward the neck can be very elegant as we see Alicia Keys wearing here in this picture taken of her at the "We are Together" Premiere in New York on June 12th 2008. Strands are brushed straight back (bang-less) and have  a wet look that can be accomplished with the right product. Locks that are not freshly washed work the best for this type of style. It is much easier to work with second-day hair on a project like this one (as if hairstyling were a project). This would be a great idea if you had worked all day and had to get ready in a hurry for a special evening event. It is quick and easy and looks beautiful. Alicia's make-up looks young and fresh and love the light pink lipstick on her. Her earrings are very cool: several hoops inside of each other that dangle down past the shoulders. No necklace would be a good idea with this look as the ear jewelry is enough.

If an updo is in order, check out Ashlee Simpson with her twist on an old fashioned favorite that showcases a simple braid draped across the top of the head. Her red hair color here looks pretty with her eyes and skin. The bangs are fringy and brushed to the side. This picture of Ashlee was taken at the Palms Place Hotel and Spa Grand Opening in Las Vegas on May 31st 2008.

Pink and blonde together makes for a flashy retro updo. This woman has long locks that are intertwined and hanging over the forehead for an interesting fashion statement. If you like to show up at parties and make a big bang, then this funk do may be for you. A little bit of bright color added to the sides and a few pieces adds pizazz.

If you are looking for something a little way out there and funky for an updo, then take a gander at this crazy thing. What is it? That is the question. Hair is pulled tight to the head and then a smooth loose bun is placed right at the forehead and over to one side. This gal has a couple of small ice cream cones placed on top. I suppose you could put whatever you want up on top. This is certainly one that will stand out in the crowd.
