Welcome to the oldest exclusively formal
hairstyles website. This site has served women
with elegant ideas for glamorous styling of their
hair on special occasions for about eight years.
Elegant Hairstyles, following a full makeover, now has eleven
related main sections: You can see all these categories in the navigation menu on
the left. Altogether there are about 280
glamorous hair pictures; you’re welcome to view
any or all of them.
You can easily move from picture to picture in each directory, and then on to the next celebrity hairstyle directory if necessary. All the pics are at the top of the page to enable faster viewing.
Except for the wedding hairstyles, all the hairstyles images on this site are celebrity hairstyles. The photos are the kind you see in weekly celeb magazines and monthly mags like InStyle magazine. They are pics of the stars all dressed up at the big Hollywood events, such as movie premieres, award shows, galas, balls and other posh formal events.
Weddings
The recently updated wedding section has 100
pictures of excellent wedding hairstyles. Many of
these are modern brides with classic updos as
well as wedding tiaras. You'd be hard-pressed to
find a site with a higher number of bridal
styles and higher quality photos. Each photo appears first as a small thumbnail,
so you can instantly scan the entire index. Click the
thumbnails to see gorgeous wedding hair photos of
the exact same full size as the glamorous bride
above. Many shots are from the front; many are the
back views; and some show the side profiles.

Brides
Thirty photos of gorgeous bridal hairstyles with thumbnails make an excellent set of beautiful ideas. The first fifteen wedding photos have a clean white background like the one above; each photo looks as if it was photographed in a modern portrait studio by a talented wedding photographer. They are super high-resolution images and the hair designs are also very high quality, too. Most of the styles are appropriate for traditional weddings, but there's also a very cute beach wedding hairstyle. In addition to bridal hairstyles for brides with long and medium hair, there are a few excellent short bridal hairstyles. [ Cont... ]

Chignons
No formal hairstyles website would be complete or up to date without chignons. Those perfect up hairdos for special events you see celebrities wear at the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and other elite social events. They stand the test of time very well; nobody would dispute they are timeless classics. Celebrity chignons are now on show in the gallery. For some of the pretty bun hairstyles, photos of additional views are also shown, i.e., the back and/or side of the updo. Look at a dozen classic formal celebrity hairstyles and see where you'd like to position your bun (top, bottom, middle; and left, right, or center). Lots of styles, lots of ideas.
We know some chignon hairstyles of the stars are memorable, because even today ladies are still looking online for Michelle Trachtenberg's popular bun hairstyle (above) which she wore at a movie premiere. [ Cont... ]

Down
Easy updos are always going to be popular with girls who style their own hair, because they don't have the luxury of a personal celebrity hairstylist, but so are easy down hairstyles.
