Sarah Jessica Parker Hair Updo
Sarah Jessica Parker hair updos are like Sarah Jessica Parker short hair styles - a risky business, best left to the professionals.
Without help she can end up looking homely at best, plain but pleasant, as she appears in the fourth photo of the middle row of our gallery.
Or she can look very peculiar indeed, as the very next image reveals.
In this picture, hair is only one of the issues Sarah Jessica Parker has yet to embrace - but if she's determined to make a dog's dinner of her makeup, a decent hair style would at least conceal some of the damage.
This was not the occasion for a reveal-all updo!
Sarah Jessica Parker is no great beauty, and no amount of fibbing or fiddling will change that. But properly attended to she can look great, even with her hair up.
Sarah Jessica Parker Hair Tricks
The middle picture in the bottom row, for instance, makes a virtue of the long, strong lines that characterize this celebrity woman's face. You hardly notice that her hands, pressed so artfully to her skull, have completely altered the shape of her head.
The second picture of the middle row softens, mutes and conceals those same long, strong lines to achieve a very different effect.
This is a young, soft-faced Sarah Jessica Parker whose hair is piled off-center, widened with a butterfly clip, and curled concealingly over her forehead.
There's nothing accidental about these images. They're not spontaneous.
Similarly, the first and second pictures in the gallery are the result of hard work by many professionals. Hair styling is just one element in the mix.
Lighting is crucial to the success of both pictures.
In the first, soft light, soft makeup and soft background tones take the edge out of Sarah Jessica Parker's face. Her hair color matches and complements the rest of the photo.
In the second picture, lighting and makeup blur the borders of her lower face so well that its shape disappears completely in parts. It's then safe for Sarah Jessica Parker to wear her hair in a high, boosted updo that would be unthinkable if the real length and shape of her face were apparent.
Sarah Jessica Parker Hair and Accessories
Fashion accessories can certainly help Sarah Jessica Parker with daring hair styles.
Her updo in the last picture of the top row, and the first picture of the middle, is assisted by the black device she wears around her neck, and the very sparkling brooch that secures it in place.
The black cloth makes a very strong statement indeed, a border that echoes the dark line of her hair and somehow compresses, in our mind's eye, the distance between.
Its dark horizontal movement, with the brooch placed off-center, further disrupts our perception of the long vertical shape that is Sarah Jessica Parker's face.
Then there are the ears!
The advantage of an updo hair style for Sarah Jessica Parker is that her ears, when visible, can make her face seem wider. She highlights that illusion with small, round earrings.
Anything more would lengthen her face all over again, but the bottom row's pink dress photo is an exception. Here she wears very long earrings indeed - but they curve out and away from her face in a deliberate visual ploy.
Five other pictures in the gallery show Sarah Jessica Parker with various updo hair styles, out and about in Hollywood.
Some come close to okay, like the style that rounds her forehead in the fourth picture of the top row, and the last picture of the bottom.
Others leave her looking gaunt, like the first two photos in the bottom row.
But some hair styles are inherently ugly, and you have to ask why anyone - anyone! - would want to wear them.
Like Sarah Jessica Parker's updo in the middle of the top row. Her face isn't bad here, but she looks like she's wearing some weird sort of Hollywood battle helmet!
I guess things really can get nasty there!
