The BAFTAs 2024 red carpet is in full swing, and as a beauty editor, I’ve been keeping my eye out for any standout makeup or hair trends to try this spring. There have been so many stunning beauty looks this year, from Phoebe Dynevor’s balletcore bun to Naomi Campbell’s sharp smokey eye and Margot Robbie’s 90s updo. However, there is one trend in particular that seems to be all over the red carpet, and it’s so easy to recreate. That’s right, I’m talking about the humble side part. We saw this trend make a comeback last year, and if the EE BAFTA Film Awards are anything to go by, then it’s not going anywhere this season. I’m going to be honest, I always wear my hair in a middle parting and have been very reluctant to change this, but even I’m considering switching things up after admiring all of the red carpet looks.
As you’ll see below, this easy trick makes your hair look so expensive, and can be worn in so many different ways depending on what finish you want to go for. Don’t believe me? I’ve rounded up some of my favourite side-part hairstyles straight from the star-studded carpet, so keep on scrolling to see just how elevated this trend looks…
