Pigtails and ponytails [2] are a classic in anyone's hair rotation, but the braided ponytail [3] is having a serious moment right now — and Ashley Graham [4] is the latest to co-sign the style. On March 5, the model attended the Mytheresa dinner in Paris wearing a chic, fashion-week-worthy [5] version of the hairstyle.
Graham's hair was slicked-back, divided down the middle, and sectioned into two extra-long braids that grazed the floor. To finish the look, Graham kept her makeup and nails simple — opting for satin skin [6] and supermodel nails [7].
Braided ponytails and pigtails have been seen everywhere lately, from runways to red carpets. Most recently, Rihanna wore a similar style [8] when she performed at the Super Bowl Halftime show. The look is extremely easy to do at home, and if you want the extra-long length that Graham has, you can add extensions. Use braided ponytails as a base for more intricate-looking bun hairstyles [9] or you can use the braids to create interesting shapes for more eye-catching, avant-garde looks. To elevate it even more, add some personality with hair accessories like rhinestones, butterfly clips [10], or bows. It's easy to take this fairly simple look and make it runway ready.
