It wasn’t lost on us that Jennifer Lawrence aka Katniss Everdeen is sporting one of the hottest hairstyles of the season in “The Hunger Games”—a side braid! Then, perhaps as a reference to her on-screen look, the gorgeous 21-year-old went with a loosely braided bun for the film's Los Angeles premiere-- as well as a flashy gold Prabal Gurung fishtail gown with side cut-outs.
We love the intricate look of braided hairstyles, but don't let all that interweaving intimidate you. The truth is, they’re totally doable.
If you want to try a side braid a la Katniss, we break down the steps in this video:
A bigger fan of Jennifer's red carpet looks? Updos with loose braiding were everywhere during awards season (remember Kate Beckinsale?) and they continue to be a big trend for spring. The
key is in the pre-braiding prep. Add texture to your hair with product and, if
your hair is particularly straight to begin with, also use a curling iron to
create waves. If you want even more height at the crown, you can even tease the
back a bit. When you pull the hair into a ponytail, it's up to you how many
strands you want to pull out on the sides for a soft, romantic feel. Play with
it and see. We love the way Jennifer added some metallic embellishment to pick
up the gold in her dress.
Here’s a how-to on Jennifer’s premiere hairstyle:
