58 stunning bridesmaid hairstyles for all of your squad

Bridesmaid hairstyles have gotten a lot cooler. Gone are the identical ‘80s crispy curls and “special occasion” updos and instead, modern bridal parties are leaning into personalised looks that suit each squad member, or modern styles that work cohesively across everyone’s hair.

Predictable cookie-cutter looks are out and individuality is in, which is why, tbh, anything goes, when it comes to both bridal hairstyles and bridesmaid hairstyles.

Don’t get us wrong, we’re still here for the classics, but we love a fresh twist or a slick glow-up. Take the messy bun. We’ve seen some gorgeous current renditions that are pared back, less busy, but just as beautiful. The half updo remains a favourite, but cute details, like introducing a neat loveknot (see below) rather than a trad twist can elevate it and add interest.

The updo has made a triumphant return so we’re expecting to see a whole bunch of spin-offs of the Pammy updo (made famous by Pamela Anderson in the ’90s and now a go-to for Kim K, Jasmine Tookes and a team of A-listers.)
