Leah Talabi Formal Updo With Curled Top Bun

Added: 30 Jun 2025
Leah Talabi looks simply breath taking with this formal updo that is ideal for any formal occasion that you might be attending. There is so much happening with this style and yet, it is so simple for you to recreate at home. The ends of her hair has been curled and then placed into an upstyle bun. This helps to give this style height as well as ensures that the look has depth and dimension. This is ideal for those with medium to thick hair densities. If your hair is too thin, the curls will not hold nicely and it will look a bit flat on top of your head. The hair was parted to the side and the front has been sleeked back. This adds to the formal vibe of the hairstyle and ensures that her hair does not fall across her face and into her eyes. A few strands have been left out of the bun and placed around the side of her hair. This helps to frame her face as well as draws attention to her cheekbones and jawline. Once you are done styling your hair, you will need to apply some product to ensure your curls stay in place. Place a few extra bobby pins in your hair for safety if your hair is thick to ensure this look does not come undone when you are busy enjoying your evening.

When it comes to your makeup application, you want to apply a flawless skin application like Leah Talabi has done because this is an open look. Adding a pair of false lashes to your upper lash line will give you more volume. Do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to create the illusion of an oval face shape. Finish off your makeup application with a nude or pastel lipstick color and you are ready to show off your new and exciting updo!
