No stress needed – just take a look at our handy guide to matching hairstyles with dress styles, and get ready for real-life likes and admiration!
A loose updo with a lace dress
A romantic hairstyle can turn a lace dress into an entire dreamy look. Try a loose, wavy updo with tons of shine like Selena Gomez.
A fishtail braid with a halterneck dress
This is not the time to be afraid of extensions! If your hair isn’t long enough for a fishtail braid, simple pair your halter dress with a healthy dose of faux, fabulous ponytail to create Blake Lively’s look.
A faux lob with a low-cut dress
To balance out the shoulders on a V-neck dress, style your hair into a fake long bob(otherwise known as a lob) with rippling waves in a side part. Complete your glam look with a deep burgundy lip just like Emma Stone.
Bombshell waves with a backless dress
With a ‘business in the front, party in the back’ dress, it’s best to keep your hair simple, yet sultry. Try Julianne Hough’s look – a backless dress with voluminous waves that make a statement without going overboard.
A ballerina bun with a one-shouldered gown
Keep the spotlight on your sassy bare shoulder by styling your hair in an updo – like Romee Strijd’s oversized ballerina bun.
A sleek ponytail with a turtleneck gown
Wearing a turtleneck gown? Make your neck the centre of attention by smoothing your hair into a sleek ponytail – a look that Nina Dobrev knows well.
