We’re deep in the throes of music festival season—Glastonbury now, Lollapalooza ahead—and fast running out of ideas for charming hair looks that can go toe to toe with the heat and humidity. Here, we consider the braid: not a plain pair of plaits but rather more creative twists on the style, pulled from the Vogue archives.
See a sun-drenched Sasha Pivovarova with two shimmering fishtails hanging over her shoulders, or Taylor Hill sporting a triple French braid, the back wound together with a pink bungee cord. FKA twigs, too, transformed the popular off-duty look by plumping the top of each twist into a cool-girl knot, while María Elena Marqués went full Heidi in the ’40s for legendary lensman Horst P. Horst, exuding geek-chic appeal ahead of her time.
There’s Amanda Burden copping Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic wedding hair, a thick Rapunzel-like rope stuck with white teacup roses—a dreamy alternative to the flower crown. Elsewhere, Twiggy’s golden, knee-grazing mane plays with a romantic proposal—unfurl each braid at the bottom, letting the ends ripple. For a touch of summertime ease, Kirsty Hume’s scattering of small tails, haphazardly dotted around the head, and Tinashe’s slick power plait offer two simple yet chic ways to rock the braid at your next festival and beyond.
