Celebrities are setting the hairstyle trends for us at every red carpet or awards events. They walk the red carpet with their fancy dresses and matching upsweeps to match.

Not to long ago, we started to see simple updo ponytails being worn at these red carpet events. Now they are becoming the trendy hairstyle that goes with any occasion.

Although the ponytail is somewhat easy to style, it does take a little extra work to get the 'formal ponytail' to look right. Most celebrities that do wear the ponytail have styled their hair to be extra smooth, flat and shiny before they pull it back.
