I love that messy updos are an acceptable style for fancy functions. Those super-sleek, tight buns and twists that are having a moment give me such a headache, figuratively and literally. I don’t want to worry about every hair staying in its tautly pulled, highly hairsprayed place. I want to wear a pretty, elegantly slapdash updo like the one Hailey Bieber just wore to the GQ Men Of The Year event.
Bieber attended the star-studded fete in a sheer, black, backless Gucci halter dress that probably would have gotten her kicked out of the prom, but her hair was ready to party like it was 1999.
Loosely pulled back at the base, the updo is parted in the center with two nearly shoulder-length strands left to frame Bieber’s face: truly peak ’90s tendrils. But as we come around the back, we get even looser.
