Elizabeth Banks has lovely shoulder length hair and for she spruced it up here for her movie premiere. This is a great way to style medium length hair into a formal look that is very flattering. The hair is teased at the crown and lifted at the roots before styling to one side. The front has a nice, smooth sweep and the darker roots are allowed to be a focal point. Showing the roots sometimes works very well depending on the hairstyle and this one definitely works. Overall the formal hair style is one of a few options that are not used as much and could make a standout choice.
