Many of the women of last night's Golden Globe Awards were pictures of elegance in their designer formal gowns, thanks in large part to their hair and makeup artists. A recurring trend on the red carpet were tasteful low buns and chignons, which varied in simplicity depending on the wearer's hair length and desired effect.

Eva Longoria Parker , whose hair was likely styled by celebrity favorite Ken Paves, wore her medium-length hair back in a architectural chignon.


Aussie actress Melissa George complemented her daring Armani Privé gown with low chignon of carefully-placed loops.



Anne Hathaway, who was rumored to have won the Best Actress in a Drama Award thanks to a technical goof on the Golden Globe Awards website (the award went to Kate Winslet), wore her medium-length hair in a low bun that was, unfortunately, a tad boring.


Newlywed Jennifer Carpenter (she just married her Dexter co-star Michael C. Hall) showed off her fierce bone structure with a sculpted chignon.

Kate Beckinsale also pulled her hair into a chignon for the event, which helped her to show off her killer earrings and her J. Mendel gown's exquisite neckline.
