Retro hairstyles were everywhere at last week’s Golden Globe Awards, from pretty Taylor Swift’s up-do to Jennifer Lopez’s sideswept wavy hair…

While there were many actresses sporting the Old Hollywood glamour trend, there was one actress who dared to differ – by wearing her hair in a long striking braid.

Actress Lucy Liu was both gorgeous and extremely feminine when she strolled down the red carpet at last week’s Golden Globe Awards. Wearing a Marie Antoinette inspired gown and slightly messy braids in her hair; we think she looked every bit the stunning Hollywood star.

Here’s how you can recreate the look:

1. Prep dry hair with a small amount of Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier style primer.
2. Apply hairspray to create texture.
3. Create a deep side part, and French-braid down each side of the head, merging them at the bottom, slightly to the side so the braid hangs over a shoulder.
4. Placing one braid over the other, flip the ends of the braids through the hole of two braids.
5. Merge the two braids into one fishtail at the bottom.
6. Finish the look with hairspray.
