Knotted Braid — Get Blake Lively’s Sexy Look For A Holiday Party

If you thought you were jealous of Blake Lively’s long blonde hair before, take a look at her latest hairstyle, which she just debuted on Instagram. The actress sported a messy, knotted braid hairstyle that we’re totally obsessed with. Get the details on her sexy hairstyle!

Blake Lively, 28, has been our definition of hair goals since her Serena van der Woodsen days on the show, Gossip Girl. And the knotted braid hairstyle she posted on her Instagram on November 17 is definitely worth bookmarking for any upcoming holiday parties.

Hairstylist Rod Ortega was behind Blake’s detailed look, that you might want to grab a friend to help you with when you’re recreating — unless you happen to be a braid master.

For a similar knotted look, watch and memorize this quick tutorial from hairstylist Sara Potempa. Give your hair more volume by working in a texturizing dry shampoo like Bumble And Bumble Pret-A-Powder with your fingers. By keeping the knots looser and adding in the volumizing powder, you’ll get a messier, more undone finish like Blake’s.

Knotted Braid Hairstyle — How To Get Blake Lively’s Look For The Holidays

We’re obsessed with the idea of wearing this for holiday parties because it’s so versatile — wear it with a plum lip and lots of mascara for a less-is-more finish, or pair it with a smudged out smokey eye for an even sexier beauty look. It’s also the perfect way to show off a killer party dress is you’re wearing something with lace or jeweled detailing along the neckline.

What do you think of Blake’s knotted braid, HollywoodLifers? Will you be trying this one out?
