Leave it to Alexander Wang to turn a basic braid into a bona fide beauty trend. To top off the designer's football-inspired, transparency-friendly looks for SS10, there were also long, luscious braids befitting Buttercup, The Princess Bride, and, not surprisingly, both celebrities and fashion magazines are into them. "It may not be spring, but it's already time to copy Alexander Wang's spring 2010 loose, unraveled side-braid. Rachel McAdams rocked the look at the premiere of Sherlock Holmes in London last night, while [model] Kasuia Struss also wore a Wang-ish do for the January issue of Vogue," says The Cut. (Both were a more flattering take on the style than Blake Lively's attempt at the Emmy's.)
