The Best Celebrity Top Knots, Period Klaudia Tirico
What can we say about the top knot that hasn’t already been said? It’s the lifesaver of hairstyles and works with every single outfit in your closet. Not to mention it lets you go an extra day or two without washing your hair, so you can hit that snooze button a few extra times in the morning. The list of pros goes on and on. But if you’re getting tired of your usual top knot, here are 10 fresh ways to rock one, courtesy of some of our favorite beauties.

Rita Ora Klaudia Tirico
Thinking of cutting bangs? Make like Rita Ora and test drive the look by styling your hair in a tightly twisted top knot, leaving the ends out. Let those ends fall over your forehead for a cool, choppy fringe look without the commitment. Ora took hers one step further by rocking a a mohawk of small knots running down her head.

Shay Mitchell Klaudia Tirico
Messy top knots are easy, but pulling off an unkempt style without looking like you’re heading to the gym is not always so simple. Shay Mitchell sat front row at BCBG during New York Fashion Week this month with just the right amount of messiness to go with her black and white ensemble. The knot itself was pretty standard, but the flyaways are what really made the look cool. It kind of reminds us of the wispy knots at the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2015 show.Photo by: Getty -
Jaime King Klaudia Tirico
Jaime King knows the value of a good top knot; she’s been spotted wearing a very sleek version at two separate red carpet events in just two months. There are a couple things to learn from her look: One, never rule out a top knot for an elegant event. And two, the style is the perfect way to show off your favorite dangly earrings.Photo by: Getty -
Vanessa Hudgens Klaudia Tirico
Just because your hair isn’t long enough for a full-blown top knot doesn’t mean you can’t rock the look. Vanessa Hudgens is proof. She styled her shoulder-length hair in a half-up, lopped top knot to run errands in Los Angeles. Doesn’t she look effortlessly cool? Get a similar look here.Photo by: Getty -
Gwen Stefani Klaudia Tirico
We can’t do a ‘best topknot’ roundup without mentioning the queen of perfect knots, Gwen Stefani. From fancy red carpet shindigs to grocery shopping, Stefani can pull off the look better than anyone we know. Even the style seen here, which looks like she just casually threw it up, is utter perfection. And remember, if you think your top knot is too casual, just add a red lip and you’re automatically street style photog-approved.Photo by: GettyAdvertisement -
Sarah Hyland Klaudia Tirico
The donut/sock bun look screams senior prom. And since we’re way past that time, we’re taking notes from Sarah Hyland’s Emmy’s updo instead. The rough texture and random pieces sticking out add just enough edge to a formal gown.Photo by: Getty -
Nicole Richie Klaudia Tirico
Nicole Richie’s hair is pretty fine and short, but that doesn’t stop her from throwing her blue strands up, even if the end result is a micro-knot. Also, is it just us or does a top knot look even better with rainbow colored hair?Photo by: Getty -
Diane Kruger Klaudia Tirico
Diane Kruger always nails it on the red carpet, fashion- and beauty-wise. (Remember her insane braid within a braid?) At InStyle magazine's 20th Anniversary Party, the actress displayed a flirty, feminine version of a topknot featuring a wavy, textured finish and a few loose pieces.Photo by: Getty -
Cara Delevingne Klaudia Tirico
No one does model-off-duty better than Cara Delevingne. While we’re not sure if her hair is freshly washed or not, the model’s look still proves that a topknot looks best on second day hair. A little grease never hurt anyone, right?Photo by: Getty -
Poppy Delevigne Klaudia Tirico
Speaking of Delevingnes, Cara’s sister Poppy made topknots a family affair with her elegant version of the style. Like Sarah Hyland, Delevingne’s updo has just the right amount of texture and flyaways to complement a formal outfit. They both even rocked a bronze smoky eye! We’re sensing a trend here.Photo by: Getty
