  • Braid-y Bunch

    2 of 8

    By Zoe Schaeffer

    The braids of the moment are cool and very nonchalant. “This moment, everyone is asking for slightly undone braids because they look effortless,” says Los Angeles celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak.

  • Pretty Plait

    3 of 8

    This latest incarnation was first spotted at Alexander Wang’s Spring 2010 show and has since been seen on celebrities and fashionistas alike. It’s side-swept and heavily tossed, with a beachy texture for a little dose of grit.

  • The Long Version

    4 of 8

    The braid hopped the pond from New York to Paris, where a super-long version appeared at the Miu Miu Spring 2010 show. We're now thinking that extensions wouldn't be the worst idea.

  • Puffed Up

    5 of 8

    Rachel McAdams was the first A-lister we spotted sporting the trend on the red carpet — not surprising since she was seated front row at the Alexander Wang show. But she made it her own with a dramatic pouf on top.

  • Short & Sweet

    6 of 8

    Even shorter, finer hair like Kate Bosworth's works. Roszak says to tie a loose braid, leave a few inches at the bottom, and gently rake it all out with fingers. “The whole idea is to not look perfect. If some ends stick out, embrace it.”

  • Meant To Be Messy

    7 of 8

    Nicole Richie loves to buck convention, ever so slightly, and takes the braid trend to a slightly grungier place. But it's still just as appropriate for a night out on the town.

  • Fishtail Fun

    8 of 8

    As the braid trend continues to evolve, we expect to see lots more of the "fishtail" style that Leona Lewis is wearing. It's slightly more complicated to execute, but how cool does it look?
