In case you want something special for your New Year's party look, you can try the ballerina updo that Charlize Theron and Olivia Wilde simply rock. This hairdo is very bold, so make sure you are up to wearing it before the actual party. In order to get it, you just have to create a hint of volume at the roots, plus a little texture down the lengths.
Pull hair back and secure into a twisted bun, a high chestnut bun or a simple low bun. Then, all you have to do is to top the hairdo with a special headband and pin it into place. If you find this look too harsh, follow Lauren Conrad's example and go for the boho look with a bedazzled headband and a soft, whispy chignon.
