The Pigtail Braids
She’s a genie in a bottle baby. Katy Perry teamed her gold bandeau top and harem pants with mega hoops and super-long extensions. And it wasn’t her first plait moment of the weekend, also opting for a Freida Kahlo-inspired style.

The Center-Part Cornrow Braid
You have to look closely or you might miss Kate Bosworth‘s mini box braid going down the center of her scalp. It’s subtle, yet super-chic like the rest of the star’s Coachella style.
