Morning Obsession: Blake Lively’s Braided Bafta Updo (So Pretty)

You know what Blake Lively did this weekend? She went to the BAFTA Brits To Watch event

with a really awesome updo. Just wait til you see this hairstyle, folks!

Here’s the front:

The braid detail on the side:

And the best part: The back.

I think her hair has been braided into a 5-strand braid (click here for a how-to featuring bread–doesn’t sound helpful, but it is!) and wrapped under into a ball. Then some pieces were wound around the outside from either side to give it a more bun-like shape.

It’s lovely, isn’t it? It reminds me a tiny bit of the braid-wrapped hairstyle we all drooled over on Kristen Bell last year.

Any of you going to try it?

(Oh, and if you’re going to attempt it, brush up on your braiding skills with these videos from around the Web.)
