Braided Ladies

{Jennifer Aniston rocked a braid at this year’s Academy Awards. The woman has not aged in the last ten years. She looks amazing!}

Last Wednesday, while watching High Society (Please don’t judge me. It’s a total train-wreck and I can’t look away!), I noticed Tinsley Mortimer’s cute little braid. She wears it quite a bit and I was so drawn to it, partly because she rocks it with straight hair. Usually, braids like this are worn with loose, bohemian waves. I almost always wear my hair straight, so naturally,  I gravitated towards Tinsley’s cute look. Since then, I have quickly become braid-obsessed! It makes for a great summer look, doesn’t it?

{Notice how Tinsley’s braid is sort of centered on her head while most of the others sit closer to the forehead. Any tips for getting this look just right?}

{Lauren Conrad’s hair always looks amazing, so you probably won’t be surprised to find several images of her in this post.}

{I love that this braid goes all the way across.}

{Naturally, bohemian beauty Kate Hudson looks great with a plait in her hair.}

Messy updos featuring braids have been a popular staple on the red carpet for some time now. They lend a youthful, romantic quality to any look, so naturally they are a favorite among young actresses like Anne Hathaway, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jessica Alba.
