May was a busy month on the red carpet; the stars were out in their numbers and we were in our element with all the red carpet hair to watch out for! Here are our favourite celebrity hair styles from last month’s events.

Cannes Film Festival 2011

The celebs were out in force for the Cannes Film Festival this year and there were so many gorgeous styles to choose from over the 12 days and nights that the festival ran, but we think these ladies really shone with their red carpet hair.

Salma Hayek looked stunning in her floor-length gown with silver sequins and her hairdo was the perfect choice for a glamorous event. Salma Hayek’s hair was swept to one side with large, natural-looking curls and waves. You can style your own hair and then gently loosen the curls with your fingers to re-create this effortless glamour!

Fan Bing Bing wowed onlookers time and time again with her stunning dresses and her red carpet hair was equally as glamorous on each occasion.  Her hair always looked flawless, either worn in an elegant updo or worn down and naturally straight.

Gwen Stefani’s hair was fabulous for each of her appearances on the red carpet during Cannes! She teamed her white and black Armani Privé dress with a rock-chick updo for a perfectly chic look! Gwen was also spotted in a stunning floor-length black sequined dress teamed with gold accessories; her hair was left down, but slicked back with extra volume at the roots for an edgy twist on the glamorous style … she looked every inch a superstar!
Gwen Stefani also wore her platinum blonde locks in voluminous curls with a vintage twist on the opposite side to her parting for another red carpet appearance. She was bang on trend with her big hair … We LOVED it!

Rachel McAdams also embraced the big hair trend for some of her red carpet hairstyles… though her hair wasn’t nearly as big as Gwen’s!!
She was spotted with her hair worn some up and some down for one event and with her hair worn naturally straight on another occasion … both hairstyles had a little more volume and lift and looked gorgeous!
Rachel McAdams also made an appearance in a stunning red and see-through dress with elegant rose patterns; her hair was styled in big and bouncy curls with a vintage flick to her side-fringe … she looked truly amazing!!

2011 Billboard Music Awards

There were some lovely hair styles for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, but we think Beyonce, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift really stood out from the crowd!

Selena Gomez looked gorgeous on the red carpet for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. She wore a sassy black dress with cut away sections at the waist and a thigh-high split. Selena Gomez’s hair was equally stunning; she wore her slightly ombre locks simple and poker straight … leaving her hair looking luxuriously thick and healthy!

Taylor Swift stepped out onto the red carpet wearing a glamorous floor length gold, sequined gown. Taylor Swift’s hair was elegantly swept to one side in an Old Hollywood style hairdo that suited her dress perfectly. Create a low side-parting and add vintage curls to your hair and your HeadKandy hair extensions with velcro or hot rollers to recreate Taylor Swift’s red carpet hair.

Beyonce put on a show-stopping performance at the Billboard Music Awards and showed-off her super toned body in a revealing silver mesh dress. She wore a stunning figure-hugging black dress for the red carpet and wore her voluminous locks in natural, looking waves… gorgeous!!

The TV BAFTA's

There were some gorgeous styles on the red carpet for the 2011 TV BAFTA’s last month, but the girls from The Only Way Is Essex really stood out with their glamorous frocks and hairdos!!

Amy Childs stepped onto the red carpet in a very Princess-like gold sequined dress with a HUGE skirt!! Her fiery red hair was styled in large curls and suited the overall look well. Her style for the BAFTA’s was a tad OTT, but she certainly made a statement!

Sam Faiers opted for a far more low-key look! She wore a simple shimmery low-cut white dress with black accessories and her hair was left naturally wavy. She looked super glam for the red carpet!

Lydia Bright and Lauren Goodger both appeared in silver floor-length frocks. Lydia teamed her dress with a gorgeous updo and Lauren wore her hair with extra volume on top and with the lengths of her hair pulled over one shoulder and styled in large curls.

However, Kara Tointen was our favourite pick from the 2011 TV BAFTA’s; she wore a dusky pink evening dress with elegant embellishment around the neck and shoulder area. Kara Tointen’s hair was equally as elegant; it was styled in a beautiful curly updo. She looked stunning!!

 

May really was full of gorgeous dresses and red carpet glamour, but we think Gwen Stefani rocked her look more than everyone else! Her unique style really shone at Cannes; she appeared in stunning dresses and Gwen Stefani’s hair was bang on trend with each of her appearances on the red carpet!!
