But runway trends aside, side ponytails are often the celebrity fave in the hairstyle department, whether they’re rocking them on their days off in an effortless braid (the current update to a high side-pony) like Rihanna, or styled in an award show-ready version à la Selena Gomez. Nonetheless, the hairstyle-of-the-moment has allowed us to revisit some of our favourite looks, from our preteen TV heroes to today’s red carpet all-stars.
