The holidays are just around the corner, which means we’ll be cradling cups of warm apple cider, checking names off our gift list, and attending swanky soirees—one of our favorite elements of the holiday season. But nothing brings us more joy then decking the halls and our hair with an assortment of festive embellishments, from sparkly hair clips to ribbons, and bows a la Tessa Thompson.

Tuesday, the actress was spotted at the New York screening for Lady In The Tramp, rocking a bubble ponytail adorned in ladylike ribbons. The 36-year-old, who will be the voice of Lady in the Disney remake, gave us major holiday hair inspiration.

Article continues after video.

Bedazzled ponytails, New York Fashion Week’s hottest hair trend, is just what we need to spice up this holiday season–that and pumpkin spice lattes.

The decorated do’ was crafted by hair goddess, Lacy Redway, who shared a photo of the head-turning look to Instagram Wednesday.

“Unwrapping this little lady tonight for her #LadyandTheTramp screening. Update your ponytail with Ribbon details …it’s simple,” Redway captioned the post. And we plan to take her advice.
