Angelina Jolie’s Updo – A Style I Can Actually Achieve, Thank You

Angelina Jolie always manages to effortlessly rock a simple, do-it-yourself updo and make it the epitome of chic. During a day out in Rome, she pulled her hair back in a sophisticated twist that looks so easy to recreate, even for those of us with limited hairstyling skills. Jolie was photographed leaving her hotel with her dark hair swept away from her face and twisted into a simple updo at the crown of her head. While we can’t see the complete view of the updo, it appears to be a more relaxed version of the classic French twist, with a softer roll. It’s a hairstyle that Jolie probably whipped up herself to avoid any fuss on a busy day. The more I look at it, the more I’m inspired to elevate my everyday look with a stylish updo like this. Updos don’t always have to be complicated or stressful, as Jolie beautifully demonstrates here. Whether it’s a day out in Rome or a day at my desk, a chic updo can be the perfect finishing touch to any look.

As I’ve been pondering over Jolie’s updo, I’ve also been trying to decipher the status of her hair color. In the recent images, her hair appears noticeably darker compared to the honey blonde shade she sported earlier this summer. However, there is still a hint of brightness at the ends, even though they are mostly tucked away in the updo. The beachy blonde style is gone, and it seems like Jolie is embracing the 2023 version of ombré. Keeping in line with the understated elegance of her updo, she opted for minimal makeup and a subtle manicure, or perhaps no nail polish at all. Sometimes, simplicity is all you need to achieve a perfectly balanced look.
