When it comes to universally-flattering hairstyles, we've noticed that plenty of our favorite celebs have been pulling their locks up, up and away for an elegant style statement. Top buns have been buzzed about in recent months, and we're especially loving this look right now during the holiday season.

Not only do they keep everything tempered and fuss-free, but the look pairs well with casual skinny jeans during the day and dazzling cocktail dresses in the evening. Dramatic and classy, this 'do comes across clean and modern and adds incredible interest to your party-perfect makeup look, too. Score!

We think a bun is best when it's piled high directly on top of the head (as seen on Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens) for a quirky cute vibe that feels fresh and exciting. Beyoncé and Nicole Richie modeled similar styles anchored by full bangs, a brilliant touch to frame the face. And Christa B. Allen mastered the chicest bun of them all, with a full, voluminous coil that was girly and oh-so-glamorous. 

In short, this festive 'do clearly comes out on top. 

What do you think of this look? Are you a fan of top buns?
