Olivia Palermo
Palermo’s French braid adds easy elegance to her intricate gown. A few pulled-out strands at the crown keep it from looking too perfect.
Elle Fanning
Brides, take note. Adding fresh blooms to your braid instantly amps up the romance factor.
Shay Mitchell
Shay’s XL crown braid revives the old milkmaid style into a work of textured art! Paired with a smoky eye and nude lips, this look gets a 10/10 from us.

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian channels Queen Elsa from Disney’s Frozen with this look. We love love love the tight braids down either side of her head paired with her platinum wig. What do you think?
Cara Delevingne
Cara Delevingne keeps it simple (and lets her brows do the talking!) at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards. She pulls her golden, beachy waves to the side with a fine braid behind her ear and down her part.
Kaya Scodelario
It’s no secret we love fishtail braids here at beautyheaven HQ, so it would be rude not to throw one in the mix. Kaya Scodelario looks as cute as a button with her fishtail braid.
Brie Larson
I mean, have you ever seen a cuter hairstyle? This side swept front braid is a great option for those growing out a fringe or layers around the face.
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde looks like an ethereal goddess at the 88th Annual Academy Awards. Her braided updo is certainly one for the vision board. Any brides-to-be, perhaps?
Rooney Mara
How great is this half-up, half-down braid? Rooney Mara takes the classic high pony to the next level on the red carpet. We love how she’s teamed her delicate dress with a messy ‘do.
