'Do du Jour: The Ponytail Makes a Comeback
By · January 6, 2010October 29, 2020
01
Pomp & Circumstance

We were never any good at algebra, but here’s one equation we understand: pompadour plus high ponytail equals Ciara gorgeousness.

02
Such a Tease

Thandie Newton gives her ponytail an artfully disheveled edge by backcombing the front section of her hair.

03
Mussed Have

At Milan Fashion Week, Chanel Iman hit Ermanno Scervino’s Spring 2010 runway with a chic, slightly mussed low ponytail.

04
Mama Mia

Lil Mama added some funk to her perky pony with four skinny cornrows on both sides.

05
Sweet Bun

Kimora Lee Simmons dressed up her long, pin-straight pony with an uber-dramatic bun.

06
Clean Queen

At a recent fashion event, supermodel Jourdan Dunn paired her casual-chic, simple ponytail with clean makeup and a sweet smile.

07
Fringe Benefits

Tyra Banks’ full, eyelash-grazing fringe adds some balance to her dram high ponytail.

08
Simply Put

Holly Robinson Peete keeps it simple with a smoothed-back ponytail and sun-kissed skin.

09
Get Low

Elise Neal pairs her low pony with a long, bone-straight bangs for a versatile look that works from the red carpet to the mall.

10
Wrap Star

Janet Jackson wraps a small section of her hair around the elastic for a polished, refined look.

11
Fancy Pony

Video vixen Melyssa Ford sweeps her intricate cornrows into a low, twisted ponytail.

12
Sleek Chic

Melody Thornton’s tightly swept-back pony brilliantly showcases her dazzling eyes.

13
Side Swipe

Keke Palmer’s heavy, side-swooping bang gives her casual ponytail a chic, dress feel.

14
Mane Attraction

A deep center part gives Toni Braxton’s flatironed pony an upscale touch.
