The actress and singer favors an edgy look that isn't always so feminine and classically pretty, but still turns heads on the red carpet.
Leighton is a perfect celeb to gain prom hairstyle inspiration from because she's incredibly versatile. She tends to wear her hair in long, loose layers around her shoulders or pulled back into messy updos, but you won't see her rocking any classic Hollywood styles. She's modern and fun, and her hairstyles reflect that.
To get Leighton's look, try creating a style that's sexy and a little offbeat, but still prom-appropriate. Check out some of our favorite Leighton looks below.
