Undone updos were by far the most popular hairstyle of the night. Claire Danes , Ashley Olsen , Alexa Chung , Laura Bailey and Olivia Palermo all dressed down their party outfits with this super simple hairstyle .
Statement lips, a big trend for A/W 10, were spotted last night on Paloma Faith, Leona Lewis, Jameela Jamil and Erin O’Connor .
We also have to applaud Naomi Campbell and Claire Danes for their great no tan tan (Claire) and perfectly illuminated skin (Naomi), even though it’s the depths of winter.
Kristen Stewart , the perfect rock chick and the star that got the most people excited, has got that effortless vibe down to a tee – nothing seems to faze her! We loved her super smoky eye.
At the other end of the beauty spectrum, Olivia, as ever, had that glossy finish you can only achieve if you’re a born-and-bred New Yorker (oh, and ideally a socialite too). Chic red manicure, check; glossy hair, check; dermatologist perfected skin, check.
Finally, fishtail plaits are hot for A/W 10 (we spied them at the Erdem - pinned into a top knot - and Marios Schwab shows yesterday). Mary-Kate Olsen went for an asymmetric look with the fishtail plait on one side. It’s super effortless, has a slightly grungy vibe (which is why MK’s a fan) and makes for a great summer hairstyle too.
