58 stunning bridesmaid hairstyles for all of your squad

Don't get us wrong, we're still here for the classics, but we love a fresh twist or a slick glow-up. “I've been seeing a lot of hair down with more of a luxury bouncy ‘90s blow dry – like a Madison Beers half-up, half-down style with just the top half clipped back,” Pete adds.

Overall, “individuality is key, with people working with what suits them. And people are also being a lot braver,” says Pete. Take the messy bun. We've seen some gorgeous current renditions that are pared back, less busy, but just as beautiful. The half updo remains a favourite, but cute details, like introducing a neat loveknot (see below) rather than a trad twist can elevate it and add interest.

The updo has made a triumphant return so we're expecting to see a whole bunch of spin-offs of the Pammy updo (made famous by Pamela Anderson in the '90s and now a go-to for Kim K, Jasmine Tookes and a team of A-listers.)

But we're also seeing non-traditional hairstyles make their way into rotation to spice things up. XXL braids, ‘90s spiky buns, dinky baby braids, mermaid ponytails and OTT hair accessories, like statement bows, jumbo scrunchies and stacked-up hair slides are here to keep things interesting and more in-keeping with you’re squad's style and energy outside of their role on the day. And since you've chosen them because you love them, it feels extra special to invite their own aesthetic into your day.

To help get you inspired, we’ve rounded up our favourite bridesmaid hairstyles, from pretty braids to half up half down looks. (Still stuck on the bridesmaid dress? Don’t worry, we’ve got some great ideas for that too.)
