Julianne Moore's sleek Cannes updo is refreshingly easy to recreate - and perfect for short hair

Julianne Moore is pictured with a sleek updo and wearing a black, one-shoulder dress at the "The Phoenician Scheme" red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 18, 2025 in Cannes, France/ in a pink watercolour paint-style template.

Simple and easy are not often words we would use to describe a red carpet updo, but when it comes to Julianne Moore's low ponytail, they encapsulate the chic look perfectly.

So far, the 2025 hair trends have focused on natural texture, from bouncy curls to soft, barely-there waves (or ghost waves, as they've been dubbed), as well as tailored pixie cuts and face-framing fringes. Updos, however, have not had much of a look-in. Thankfully, red carpet events are a rich source of new ideas for swept-back styles - perhaps for a similarly formal occasion or just to keep our hair out of our faces.
