If you're looking for inspiration for your perfect prom hairstyle,
Zooey Deschanel is a great celeb to start with. She's known for her quirky, feminine style, which helps her stand out in a sea of black bandage dresses on the red carpet, and she also has a look that's quite accessible for those of us without a personal stylist.
To get a look like Zooey's, try experimenting with retro styles and hair accessories. She loves a pretty faux flower tucked into her bun or a a sparkly hairpin for extra embellishment. She also tends to tease up the hair on the crown of her head for added volume, giving her a fun 1960s appeal.
No matter which look you're trying to replicate, start experimenting now! You'll be well-prepared when the big night rolls around if you have some practice. Check out our favorite of Deschanel's formal hairstyles below.
