One of the key decisions for celebrities walking the red carpet is whether to wear their hair up or down, but Alesha Dixon ticks all the boxes with a ponytail with a difference.
The singer wears her hair heavily gelled at the sides for a strong look, while opting for a high, feathery quiff to soften the hairstyle.
Alesha, 31, also lets her ponytail fall over her shoulder to counteract the harshness.
By adding a slight wave into the length, the singer's 'do becomes more playful.
These softening elements allow Alesha to wear heavy eye make-up, providing the finishing touches to the ultimate glamorous look.
