Is Cat Deeley one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, or what? The So You Think You Can Dance host stepped out for the Fox Fall Eco-Casino Party with the coolest milkmaid braid. We love the super-thick construction of the braids that are wrapped around her head—it’s so Heidi, isn’t it?If you’re skilled with braiding hair yourself, this is actually not too tough of a look to master. Simply part your hair down the middle, create a ponytail with each section and braid it up and over the crown, securing at the back of the head with bobby pins.
If, on the other hand, braiding doesn’t come as naturally to you, there’s another way! If you live in New York, head to the super-luxe John Barrett Braid Bar, located inside Bergdorf Goodman. For $50, a skilled stylist will create a milkmaid braid for you in a matter of minutes. (Or, if you want your hair washed, dried and braided, it will set you back $125.)
In any case, Cat’s milkmaid braid is youthful, fun and fresh—and absolutely gorgeous to boot!

Show off your classic red pout by making it the focus of your face, leaving your eyes neutral and your skin fresh. Here are some red lipsticks to help you get the look:
