    To recreate the looks yourself you'll have to break some of your usual hair-care rules…

    Plaits work best with hair that's not just been washed so leave hair a day or two before you attempt to recreate the celebrity hair look.

    Ensure all your strands are smooth, and if you've frizzy or curly hair apply plenty of serum.

    If you're locks aren't quite long enough add a few clip-in extensions and give yourself plenty of time to play.

    And if all else fails you can always get a plait hair band and work around that, the celebs wouldn't admit it, but it's probably what most of them do!
