Right when we’re feeling the gravitational pull of fall’s richer color palettes and made-the-effort hair, Katie Holmes incites a flashback to our undergrad years, when back-to-school polish meant overstuffed backpacks, easy tees—and a messy bun that pointed to late-night, caffeine-fueled study sessions. It’s a relaxed solution for untamed waves that Rooney Mara took for a post-gym spin in Los Angeles with her freshly tinted copper layers twisted into a slapdash topknot in Los Angeles yesterday, while Charlize Theron raked her bedhead into a textured low bun. But leave it to the barely college-aged Elle Fanning to put an elegant stamp on the look with a slick middle part—and offer hope for those of us suddenly wishing we could duck into a lecture—that a quick flick of a comb is all it takes to pull together the look for the new season.
