Metallic Accents
The metallic hair accessories at Jason Wu's Spring 2014 runway show gave us major hair envy. Lucky for you, we found these copycat hair cuffs from H&M.

Boho Braids
Blake Lively was clearly blessed by the hair goddesses, but this laidback, low ponytail is actually easy to accomplish. Spritz hair with a texturizer, add braids of varying sizes and a sparkly hair accessory and voila -- instant Mrs. Reynolds.

A Floral Touch
Remember those pretty floral hair stickers at Honor's Spring 2014 show? Here's the lookalike version you need.

Twisted Elegance
This low ponytail got a chic update at the Ports 1961 Milan runway show. To recreate this reverse French pleat, style hair into a low ponytail, leaving a three-inch section of hair out on one side. After the ponytail is secure, take the remaining section and roll toward your scalp, then secure with a bobby pin tucked into the ponytail elastic.

And you thought the low ponytail was the hairstyle of choice at the gym and on Saturday mornings. Pah! We saw the classic low ponytail in a gorgeous lineup of styles everywhere on New York Fashion Week runways and awards season red carpets. Slicked back or slightly mussed, with deep side parts or straight down the middle, braided or with a barrage of killer accessories -- you name it. The classic low ponytail may be an easy hair fix on a lazy day, but with just a smidge more effort, you can give this humble hairstyle a serious makeover. See how some of our favorite celebs and top runway stylists transformed this low-maintenance look into a bonafide runway/red carpet trend.
