I smile at his Jesus tattoo, pink and coy as a bearded He does not tell me that he loves me, he tells me I am oldįor my age, and I smile. His back is baroque with spots,Ī constellated mire. In the air like a spookhouse special effect. Tonight it is back to his flatīy flickering inches, and then to bed, this mad cabbagey firmament, where IĪm rummaged and squirreled by turns. He will take me away, he says, but not today. Love, and there is God, shining like a migraine! In warm red light and raving in front of my face, my own face, big as billboard. Aaron is grinning, and I am watching the weaponised swag of my nails, rinsed I see myself in the mirrored ceiling, well impressed with the brittle shimmy Limoncello, lisping citronella, reeling round my handbag like a wasp aroundĪ bin. In the club we are spinning until my visionīreaks into dizzy splinters his kisses determine directionality. I want gilt and spree and perfect hair and endless fucking diamonds. To the tribe, to the old men, their tournaments and sorceries to a fist in the face. To church, burnt out on a soused downer again.

He’s taking me out to get buzzed at a club. Aaron’s twenty-three says he could wear my moony faceĪs a pendant, calls me tweety-bird. There’s no one way to achieve this many fantastic looks - but bravery, style, and lifelong friendships sure don’t hurt.He’s a real man, you can tell, all plushy skunk and a dog you’d do well Of course, in appreciating Hough’s hair you definitely can’t overlook the importance of her relationship with her longtime stylist, Riawna Capri, who has called the actress her muse. Remember the coronation braid? And the black headband days? What about the low bun with a crosshatch part she nailed so effortlessly? Clicking through will make a few things abundantly clear: For starters, the girl has maintained a near-impossible balance of trying new styles (like siren-red strands and avant-garde updos) and securing a recognizable signature style (mid-length strands and beachy waves). 
And so, for your consideration (and inspiration) we gathered 37 of her most memorable looks from the past decade.
And we know you agree: Year after year, she's been one of the top-searched celebrities on. Ready for the understatement of the century? Julianne Hough has very pretty hair.
