Messy half updos give an air of sophistication like no other kind of hairstyle. Alex Breckenridge looks elegant with a messy half-up 'do and a simple, pretty, white evening dress. The black belt, bag, and formal shoes tie her night look together very nicely.

There's lots of texture to her hair but it would look better if her roots weren't showing. It's sort of a playful and romantic formal look that works for young women and some teens. It suits the girl who takes neither a formal event nor herself too seriously.
