I'm assuming The Black Swan has inspired this new, super high version of the ballerina bun. Usually, I'm a low-bun kinda gal but this look seems to be causing some mixed reactions among the celebrity crowd.
The top knot is bold and striking and perhaps a sexy option for going out on Valentines Day?! Here are a few different takes:
My personal favorite option is seen here on Rachel Bilson. I love her! The center part is great! I really like how the bun is sightly off-center and loose! This is the most "wearable" version to me.
Kate Bosworth is gorgeous! This bun is sophisticated and dressy. I would like this for a special night out. Note: I think she has the right idea NOT wearing earrings!!
Who is this prima ballerina? Seriously, she's taking it too far with the tu-tu. Honestly, I don't like this look for real life. It's fun for a fashion show or photo shoot. Not too many ladies can wear a bun the size of their head.
I would love to hear your thoughts!!!!

the high bun is so difficult to pull off! but i do love it. it definitely has to be loose and slightly messy like the rachel bilson one, for sure!

The high bun is a huge trend in New York right now, too, especially among us busy gals on the go. It's a cute, kitschy way to keep your hair up and out of your face while on the move - the key to the look, I think, is to keep it 'effortless'. If there's a hair out of place, so what? The key ideas here are quick and cute, not overdone and stiff!

Call me crazy, but I love that oversized messy bun on the "ballerina".....might not work for the office, but super fun for a night out. And the tutu....LOVE IT! If I could wear one to work, I totally would :)
