Some ladies love their hair up, some love their hair down, but lately stars have been favoring a new look: off to the side. The side sweep has popped up on red carpets aplenty as the perfect mixture of glamorous and edgy. It's no wonder celebs who eschew ultra-feminine style, such as Rooney Mara and Kristen Stewart, rock the half-and-half look.
Part slicked-back and part voluminous, the style works on virtually any haircut—long, short, curly and straight alike. From the front, it gives the shock factor of a shaved head without the risky cut. From the side, cascading locks achieve an effortless vibe. The best part: it shows off what you're wearing, which is especially flattering on strapless numbers, as seen on Cara Delevingne.

Rather than just pulling hair back to one side, an alternative way to re-create the style is by French braiding one side back for more texture. See it on Kristen Stewart and Heidi Klum:
