Drawing inspiration from the Japanese hair bun, a style previously spotted on celebrities like Bella Hadid, Pataky infused her flair into the style, thanks to the expertise of professional hairstylist Luca Vannella.

Pataky’s interpretation of the hair bun featured a distinctive loop, with strands delicately cascading down the nape of her neck. Unlike the conventional sleek bun, Pataky opted for a slightly messy appearance, adding a carefree elegance to her ensemble. Remarkably, she forwent fixing gel, allowing the hairstyle to exude a natural charm.

The front section of Pataky’s hair bun retained her natural texture, with subtle baby hairs framing her face. This attention to detail accentuated the trend of untouched roots, creating a captivating contrast between her natural hue and dyed strands. The tousled waves that peeked out from the bun softened her features, offering a flattering frame for her face.
