Outfits play an essential role in looking marvelous for any occasion. Makeup must be flawless, and the hairstyle should not look like a cuckoo’s nest on top of your head. A fancy-looking hairstyle can give you instant attention.

What Hairstyles Are Appropriate for Special Occasions?

Whether you’re new to the world of fancy hairstyles or you just need a refresher, it’s helpful to know which styles are safe to add to the list of choices. 

They include:

Buns: low or high; chignon; twisted, coiled, or rolled; teased or slicked back; with or without braids that are either thin or large and loosened; face-framing tendrils or side bangs

Ponytails: curled or wavy; half or full; high up and draped over the shoulder

Braids: side braid, crown braid, or one single braid loosened for softness; French, Dutch, or fishtail braids

Loose: wear hair down but add curls or waves, or pin back one side with a pretty clip

Avoid hairstyles with unusual color (green, blue, etc.) or too many hair accessories.

Fancy Hairstyles

Our selection of fancy hairstyles includes all sorts of full buns, stylish braids, and ponytails that can be truly ravishing. You will discover here 20 fancy hairstyles that can save you in any situation.

1. Hairline Braid on Long Hair

Whether your hair is shoulder-length or longer, a braid right along your hairline is just the detail to make it a fancy hairstyle in only a few minutes. Start at the midline of one side of your head, bringing the braid around to the other side and clipping it in place with a flowered or jeweled barrette. 

2. Pompadour with Bow 

When some women choose a pompadour hairstyle, they leave the teased volume to do the talking. Take your hairstyle one step further, though, by placing a colorful bow front and center. Bonus points if it matches your dress!
