Hairstyles with chignon: retro, like Grace Kelly and Eva Kant

hair bun, just to pronounce the word the thought runs, light as an étoile of classical music, to something much chic. Always in the collective imagination the chignon is among the most sophisticated hairstyles, especially the flawless and precise one that brings to mind Grace Kelly, quintessence of elegance, which also dictated the eternal law on the fashion ofupdo to be created as his, regal and magnificent, a reference point for celebs who want to show themselves more than glamour sui red carpet.

CHIGNON ALLA EVA KANT
We bet then that this year, thanks to the wait for the film Diabolik of the Manetti Bros (should have been released on December 31st, but the date has been postponed to 2021) with Luca Marinelli in the role of the famous comic thief and Miriam Leone in the tight ones of the sensual and very sly Eva Kant, her hair tied up and with a mood retro they will be even more to the page? Since the trailer of the film we are, in fact, kidnapped by the very blond hair (and unusual for the redhead former Miss Italy) and very tight, collected in the characteristic onion chignon, also much loved by Mina, a distinctive sign of the character created by the Giussani sisters in the 1960s.

Symbol of refinement ok, but also of practicality, we have to say, that Eva Kant style also serves to mask wrinkles: the strands pulled to the maximum are stopped at the top by invisible hairpins for a allure like a true gentlewoman thief. The hair is combed all the way back, upwards using a gel to fix it and then rolled up and tightened into a high bun. It can be stopped with invisible hairpins or, to make it less serious (but also a little less elegant) add a ribbon, jewelry (landmark here is the iconic updo by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s), oriental style sticks and also flowers, strictly fresh.

CHIGNON, THE HARVEST FROM VERSATILE DNA
The magic of this type of chignon, a true classic ofhairstyling (also loved by Jennifer Lopez, therefore a guarantee) which could be austere as it was born in the hyper disciplined circles of classical dance (signature anche by Carla Fracci who, by the way, will soon be played by Alessandra Mastronardi, other chignon addicted, in the film about his life, soon on the screens), is that, if necessary, switcha towards sexiness or extreme refinement according to the mood. Sensual and jaunty at the same time, too the chignon bouffant by Brigitte Bardot with a lot of shaggy bangs. For a timeless French look, also loved by millennial and Gen Z celebs (see Zendaya agli Emmy, please).

Hair chameleon, even in its plus version vintage you can wear it from morning to night. And ok, the hope is to show off this hairstyle soon on mundane occasions. While we wait, we begin to bring out the princess in us.
