20 Ways to Wear a Ribbon in Your Hair

Nicole Kidman added a loose black ribbon to her messy side braid for an effortless cool we just can't put our finger on.

But ribbons don't need to be reserved for a ponytail or braid. As Kerry Washington proved, a silk ribbon makes an elegant headband.

But of course, if you'd like to spice up your banded look. Take note of Julianne Hough, who wore three mini ribbons with her windswept updo.

If you're feeling really creative, this ribbon-infused braid from Bella Thorne is a must try.

Channel your inner princess a la Elle Fanning with a simple top knot adorned with florals and draped ribbons.

For the ultimate Parisian touch, take note of Hailee Steinfeld, who tied off her twisted ponytail with a jeweled bow.

Who says you have to stick with just one ribbon? Lupita Nyong'o became the poster child for grandeur with this ribboned crown.

For a bit of a throwback, this bowed half pony from Nina Dobrev just screams classic feminine flair.

Tie off any intricate braid with a simple black ribbon like January Jones.

Sometimes bolder really is better. In this case, Gwyneth Paltrow's sleek pony just beckoned for a thick, black ribbon.

Need a quick way to dress up a ballerina bun? Take note of Rachel McAdams's simple ribbon used to hold down fly-aways.

Wearing a bow in your hair doesn't have to be juvenile. Natasha Poly's twisted half updo adorned with a sleek bow is 100 percent mature.
