Is it a French braid? Is it an updo? Well, it’s a little bit of both. Carrie Underwood’s golden locks are loosely braided and then tucked underneath themselves to form a loose ‘do that’s appropriate for any formal occasion. This style works best with medium to long hair, but you’ll need the help of a friend or stylist to pull it off.

Next, an easy formal braid!
