Awards season has officially begun! This evening’s 80th annual Golden Globe Awards saw a medley of standout film and television stars—a genre distinction which means less and less as of late—hit the red carpet, providing a peek at the celebratory glamour to come. Anya Taylor-Joy shook out her signature peroxide lengths, her hair moment furthered, somehow, by date and husband Malcolm McRae’s flawless mop top. Bailey Bass’s slicked and twisted updo pulled focus to delicate details—stylized edges, power brows—while Ana de Armas’s cat-eye liner coupled with a razor-sharp center part and long, ironed layers in an echo of her structural Louis…

What is the quickest way to turn heads on the red carpet? Confidence, of course—and a ponytail primed for a similar sort of swivel and swing. To balance her aubergine velvet Valentino, Selena Gomez opted for a high-slung ponytail that volleyed youthful buoyancy and full-tilt glamour, an ideal combination for the onset of awards season. Rather than her oft-worn slicked tie-back, the Only Murders in the Building nominee and hairstylist Marissa Marino went with a ponytail positioned nearly atop her head, the style offering Gomez’s look a pretty, playful air. A slight lift at the crown ensured the moment felt red…
