Call it the Rey effect, but suddenly serious wave of super intricate Star Wars-esque updos are cropping up on red carpets across the planet. At the Met Gala the structured-hair force was strong with Blake Lively, who paired her pale pink Burberry dress with a double layered bun.

Meanwhile Lupita Nyong’o gravity-defying top knot was reminiscent of Zoe Kravitz’s ceiling grazing topknot from earlier this year. When it comes to hair, the more-is-more message couldn’t be clearer, or cooler.

If you don’t have the skill (or patience) to DIY something so complicated, vibe on Kylie Jenner’s simple but sleek topknot for some entry-level inspiration to try this look. Arm yourself with a straightener, some shine spray and a slice of Jakku-style scavenger attitude and  you’re good to go.
