Ellie Kemper's Up Do at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards

Ellie Kemper's cute updo at the 2015 Golden Globes is one of those easier than it looks hair styles that is perfect for a night out, Valentine's Day or even a wedding this summer!

The look was created by Schwarzkopf ULTIME and celebrity hairstylist, Richard Collins. He used Schwarzkopf Styliste products, which are available at Walmart (yes, Walmart).

Get the Look:
• Start with damp hair and spray Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Satin Frizz Control & Protect Heat Protection Straightening Spray all over your hair.

• For additional blow dry protection, apply Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Satin Frizz Control & Protect Straightening Style Cream. Blow dry hair straight with a large boar bristle brush.

• Once the hair is dry, take a 1 ½ curling iron, starting at the nape of the neck. Lightly spray the Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Crystal Shine & Hold Heat Protection Shine Spray in 2 inch sections starting at the nape of the neck to hold hair in place without weighing it down. Be sure to keep your bangs out to frame your face.

• Next, gather your hair from the front and loosely twist to the back of the hair, below the crown, and secure with bobby pins. With the remaining hair, gather and twist into a loose bun and finish with the Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Crystal Shine & Hold Laminating Shine Hair Spray.

Get the Look: Kate Beckinsale's Up Do at the 2015 Golden Globes

As usual, Kate Beckinsale looked amazing at the Golden Globes. I'm convinced that she can do no wrong. Her skin is always glowing, her hair healthy and beautiful, yet she never seems to be over shadowed by any one element of her look, everything just works.

Kate's sleek and sophisticated, yet still approachable, updo was created by celebrity hairstylist Creighton Bowman of Tracey Mattingly.

"Our inspiration for the evening came from Kate's stunning Elie Saab gown and the idea of adding length to her silhouette by adding height to her hair," said Creighton.

Get the Look:
• First, on towel-dried hair, I applied René Furterer VOLUMEA volumizing foam (at Beauty.com) - no rinse at the roots and René Furterer FIORAVANTI shine enhancing no-rinse detangling spray (at Beauty.com) on the ends.

• Also, I sprayed on René Furterer LISSEA thermal protecting smoothing spray (at Beauty.com) to help protect the hair from my heat styling tools.

• Next, using a medium-sized round brush, I blew out the hair.

• Once Kate's blowout was finished, I curled the hair with a 1 1/4" curling iron and then set the hair into 1" sections.

• I then brushed out the curls and sprayed René Furterer NATURIA dry shampoo (at Beauty.com) all over for added texture and thickness.

• To begin the updo, I pulled all of the hair to the top of the crown and secured it with a ponytail holder.

• Once the ponytail was secure, I wrapped all of the hair around the ponytail base in a forward motion and secured it with pins in the front of the ponytail.

• Finally, I used René Furterer VEGETAL FINISHING SPRAY (at Beauty.com) to hold the look in place and to smooth any flyaways.

Rosamond Pike's Sleek Bob at the 2015 Golden Globes

Rosamond Pike's look was certainly a show stopper at the 2015 Golden Globes! Her dress was amazing with the side cutouts. To complement her dress, celeb hair stylist Kylee Rae Heath created a sleek look using Oscar Blandi products. "We were inspired by the ethereal gorgeous white dress and wanted the hair to be straight and sleek in contrast."

Get the Look:
• On damp hair apply Oscar Blandi Hair Lift Mousse (at ULTA) throughout the roots and spray Oscar Blandi Jasmine Protein Mist (at ULTA) from mid-shaft through the ends and comb through the hair.

• Create a deep, straight side part with a tail comb.

• With a small round brush blow dry hair on a low setting to work shine and volume into the hair.

• Once the hair is dry, spray Oscar Blandi Dry Heat Protect Spray (at ULTA) onto the hair & smooth out the ends with a flat iron. It is key to only hit the ends with the iron to maintain volume at the roots.

• Apply a small amount of Oscar Blandi Polish Glossing Creme (at ULTA) to the ends to polish and to smooth away any flyaways around the part.

• Tuck the left side behind the ear and spray Oscar Blandi Lacca Medium Hold Hair Spray (at ULTA) to finish and add more shine.
