Professional hair stylists' muse: Natalie Portman
Professional hair stylists' muse: Natalie Portman Professional hair stylists looking for some inspiration for updos should check out Natalie Portman's 'do at the recent the 67th Annual Venice Film Awards.

The leading lady of Star Wars and The Other Boleyn Girl wowed beauty critics and commentators on the red carpet, donning a side-swept knot, a floor-sweeping dress and flawless makeup. 

Her look consisted of pre-curled hair, brushed into waves, a side parting which was brought together just below the right ear and twisted into a tight knot, while the rest of her hair was loosely held together. 

"So inventive and unexpected (and very updated Princess Amadala, no?!) This is a fantastic style to try when you're bored with your basic French twist," the Hollywood Life blog said of the star's style. 

Updos and waves were a common theme at both the Venice Film Awards and the recent Emmy Awards ceremony, with stars such as Jessica Alba being praised for their curled tresses.
