Elle Fanning’s Formal Pigtails Are the Ultimate Party-Season Updo

If you had asked me what I thought of pigtails as a formal updo before seeing Elle Fanning at the premiere of A Complete Unknown on December 10, I would have been one hundred percent against the idea. After seeing Elle Fanning at the premiere of the new Bob Dylan biopic, however, it’s another story.

To go with her white Gucci slip dress, with crystal spaghetti straps and girly bow detail, Fanning wore her hair in a voluminous pigtail style that looks time-warped right from the 1960s.

Fanning’s side-swept bangs frame her face, while a teased portion at the top, secured with a crystal-embellished bow barrette to match the dress, gives the whole look a lift. The ponytails themselves were also bedazzled with matching crystal-beaded hair-ties.
