Reese Witherspoon softened her vintage gown with a delicate, deliberately undone, simple upsweep. Michelle Williams, Uma Thurman, Keira Knightley, and Diane Kruger had soft tendrils gently framing their faces with casually chic upswept hair. Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, and Sandra Bullock opted for more traditional, elegant updo¡¯s.

But the sex kitten upsweep belonged to Charlize Theron. That same classic look, a resemblance of iconic beauties Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot was created by master hairstylist Frederic Fekkai for designer, Diane von Furstenberg's Spring fashion show.

The sexy updo requires plenty of height at the top of the crown, with hair swept back into a bun or messy ponytail. Theron wore hers with a slightly messy, off-center part. Fekkai showed his version with hair brushed back and up, but the feel has the same sex appeal that gives the most simple outfit have instant allure.

Fekkai chose this modern twist of a classic hairstyle for Diane von Furstenberg show because, ¡°I love a classic look like this with a feminine outfit such as the many that were previewed at the DVF Spring 06 show.

he cropped jackets with various whimsical dresses and form fitting skirts looked absolutely chic and wonderful with the hairstyles. I wanted to incorporate a classic updo with a fresh, twist. Something that is young and sexy, a glimpse of the past, like the outfits showcased. ¡°

Even the most butter-fingered can create a mussed, sexy updo at-home with Fekkai¡¯s easy-to-follow hairstyling tips. Fekkai recommends his eponymous line of hair products, which are quite wonderful, but similar products from other brands may be substituted. Be creative, fun and playful with this look, it should have a messy feel to it and not be overly polished.
