@LINNEKLUNDParty season is all about excess, so follow Linn Eklund's approach to party hair. Why wear one hair clip when you can wear four?

@JENNYCHOHAIRThere's a time and a place for a messy bun, but Scarlett Johansson proves that for a special occasion, sleek and glossy is the way to turn heads. Wear your bun mid-height—not too high, not too low—for a twist on this classic hairstyle.

@LIZZOBEEATINGSometimes, it's the classic hairstyles that work best for parties and a bouncy blow-dry always looks good. Use a large barrel brush to create glamorous volume like Lizzo's style.

@CWOODHAIRRosie Huntington-Whiteley's party hairstyle might look avant-garde, but it's surprisingly simple to get a similar look. Just tie your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, loop the ends up towards your crown and secure it with bobby pins.

@ASOS_LESLEYA low ponytail or bun always looks elegant when the roots of your hair are slicked-back. I love how ASOS Lesley has finished her look with one of the ultimate party accessories: a pearl hair clip.

@EMRATAUnless you have naturally straight hair, you're likely going to need a pair of GHD stylers to re-create Emily Ratajkowski's sleek lob. It's worth it, though, because that hair is shinier than a disco ball.

@JENNIFER_YEPEZI'm head over heels for Laura Harrier's party ponytail: low, tousled and with a few tendrils left loose at the front.

@NINASANDBECHI love how Nina Sandbech's party hairstyle is so simple yet so effective. Just brush your hair back into a low ponytail and add a few extra hairbands at varying points. Pull the hair out slightly in each section to create a bubble ponytail.

@ASOS_SYANAIf your hair is curly like ASOS Syana's, then pull a few coils free from a high ponytail to create a majorly glam party look.

@CHRISAPPLETON1J.Lo is the queen of high ponytails, but I love how the flicked-up ends lend this simple style a bit of oomph.

@ZENDAYABouncy, shiny and with so much volume, Zendaya's "old money bob" is such a glamorous party look and can be recreated at home with a blow-dry brush.
