HAIR ENVY OF THE DAY: GWEN STEFANI'S MODERN BEEHIVE!

 When it comes to updos, the beehive is perhaps the most misunderstood hairstyle this generation has ever seen. But as Gwen Stefani reminded us today as she strolled through Beverly Hills, what's old is new.

Gwen cleverly gave this '60s-inspired classic a casual, modern twist––literally. From the front, Gwen looks like she could be sporting a loose bun or chignon behind her side-swept blonde bangs. But once she turns around, you can see it's actually a loose beehive.

During the '60s, the beehive was all about height, rising vertically. But in Gwen's version, the loose twist (and the mass of  teased locks beneath the twist) extends towards the back, creating a relaxed, contemporary look that we can't wait to try at home. Plus, those leopard-print sunglasses enhance her hairdo's retro flavor without overpowering it. Gwen, you've done it again.
