The humble slicked-back bun will always remain a timeless hair style, and Rita Ora has just mastered it.
The Your Song singer posted a stunning selfie to her Instagram story embracing minimalist glam and fresh skin. In the snap, the pop star had a bronzed, dewy complexion with a glowing finish, defined by subtle contouring. Her brows appeared bold yet natural and were softly groomed, whilst her eye makeup was minimal, with a focus on a clean, natural look. To tie the makeup together, the It-girl’s lips were defined with a neutral nude shade and a glossy finish.
However, the stand out of this effortless glam is Rita’s slicked-back updo that is styled cleanly out of her face, emphasising her gorgeous facial structure and glowing skin.
This enviable style is a far cry from her usual daring hairdos on star-studded red carpets or as a judge on The Masked Singer US. As Christmas arrives, it’s clear the British pop star is resetting and giving her locks a break.
Whilst the messy bun was on top during the 2010s, the 2020s is all about the sleek bun, and there are many famous faces who have donned this sophisticated style; from Hailey Bieber to Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. It’s become a staple of the rising ‘Clean Girl’ aesthetic and is normally styled with a middle parting and a tight grip that looks incredibly chic.

In the picture, the Masked Singer US judge also donned a strapless white top and accessorised with bold gold statement hoop earrings, paired with layered necklaces. One featured a simple chain and another with small diamonds, adding elegance and a touch of sparkle for her low-key ensemble.
If like Rita, you want to give your tresses a break from complicated hair styles this festive season, try this simple style for an effortless look.
