Gigi Hadid Shows How to Switch Up Your Braid 3 Times in 1 Night

Once again a major celebrity — none other than model of the moment Gigi Hadid — proved that braids are still a hot Summer trend. To host the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, she sported three different plaited looks all in one night.

First, she walked the red carpet in a fierce Mugler suit and bohemian long braid. It extended to her bum, reminding us of Rapunzel's lengthy locks. What gave it cool factor was the effortless looseness of the braid. Flyaways casually fell around her face and the braid started pretty low on her nape (rather than high on her head like a french braid would).

Later in the show, she moved to a high-plaited ponytail. It looked sporty and festive for the stage. And by the end of the evening, she wrapped the braid around her head to create a braided bun. All of these styles are great for elegant events (they can make a gown feel less fussy) or pool parties (to keep your strands out of your face).
