Red Carpet Hair Trend: Messy Buns

(Source: Theo Wargo/Getty Images North America)The messy bun has been a go-to hair style for lazy non-fussy women for years. We remember it being the main hairstyle for all four years of college. But we never considered it for the red carpet or for the non-celeb, evening wear. But it looks like we're proved wrong. Celebs have been turning to the care-free 'do for the fanciest of events. In fact, we've spotted the breezy look on a number of celebs, including Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, and more. Take a look at how each leading lady has styled her purposefully-messy mane.

Think less throw your hair up for yoga and more soft waves, face framing tendrils and low to middle-of-the-head placement of the bun. By starting with elegant curls and pinning them back into a low-set, loose bun, the idea of a messy bun is upgraded instantly. In fact for this look, the messier the better—making it the non-fussy girl's ideal evening 'do.
