Hilary Duff, the little minx, tried to sneak this braid past us at the Love, Loss and What I Wore cast celebration and thought we wouldn't notice. Pfft. As if. Now that Chuck has left the building Braid Watch is our number one hobby. For a second there though, I thought the Hilster had gone for the chop, getting a jaw-skimming bob, but really, what she actually did was leave a lot of chunky layers out and just braid the length. She finished the style off with a piece of purple fabric, which co-ordinated rather nicely with her lavender eyeshadow. Thoughts?
I'm not going to say I told you so, OK, I'm totally going to say I told you so: braids are back in a BIG way. Though typically a summer style, I don't see why we can't take the effortlessly cool and totally chic look into the colder months, too. From Mary-Kate Olsen's birdy-braid to Thandie Newton's big bowed style, the possibilities are endless. Here are 10 more ways you can wear this trend . . .
Hilary Duff chose to keep things simple for the 2010 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, opting for silver and white-gold sparkly eyeshadow, a clear, glossy lip shade, perfect skin and drawing her blonde locks into a ponytail. What do you think of the overall look? Simple, yet stylish or a little too can't-be-bothered for the red carpet?
