The Specific Bun Hairstyle That Every A-Lister Will Be Wearing This Autumn
“I often find the bun or chignon a little disappointing in their finish – a little too mundane,” Brisker explains. “The wrapped bun elevates it, adding texture and interest while keeping the look sleek and refined.”
While it’s particularly good for the red carpet – you’re unlikely to go to these lengths for a trip to the corner shop – the wrapped bun is perfect for any occasion that calls for a little extra polish, whether you’re wearing a slinky camisole dress on a special night out, or it’s your wedding day. “You can make it as dressed-up or as nonchalant as you like,” Brisker says.
While Robbie’s style featured more intricate, woven detail, Brisker’s take on the look is simpler, featuring a high-shine finish, a perfected wrap, and not a flyaway in sight. Meanwhile, Mark Townsend gave Dakota Johnson a mussed-up, undone version for the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner last week, proving it works for more than one aesthetic.

Despite its elevated look, it is surprisingly straightforward to create. “You can place it almost anywhere – high at the crown or centred on the back of the head – just not too low at the nape,” Brisker advises. “Start with a ponytail, twist it once into a chignon, pin it, then wrap the remaining lengths flat around the base and secure.”
The key? Plenty of hairspray and sturdy Frenchies pins – even the silkiest and finest of strands will stay put. “This style works best on hair longer than shoulder length and with fewer layers,” Brisker adds. “Finish with a flat, natural-bristle brush to smooth everything down without snagging.”
