lassic, Sophisticated, Timeless, you can never go wrong with a sleek ponytail. Here are some quick do it yourself instructions on how to achieve this look.

1. Apply a generous amount of high-hold smoothing pomade, gel or spray.

2.  Comb hair back into your desired position, low or high.  Repeat this process 2-3 times until the surface is completely sleeked back.

3. Wrap and tuck a piece of hair around the elastic to hide it, for a wrap-around pony.

This 'do is perfect for back-revealing dresses, like Kimberly Ovitz’s “Bryden” Textured Cotton Strapless Dress, below.

Emphasize Your Features

With your face on full display, try a dramatic smoky eye or bold, colorful lip.  We love Kim Kardashian’s smouldering eyes. Try a bold lip with MAC lipstick in Laugh A Lot, and suttle make-up with Michael Kors for Estee Lauder in Very Hollywood.

Wear Bold Jewelry

With this style you can go heavy on the accessories.  Show off your eyewear or a unique earring and headband like Paris Hilton. Try large jewelry like statement necklaces or chunky hoops.
