In what seems to be a million tiny long braids, this style on Venus Williams goes from down and dazzling to up and exquisite.  Making a grand display in this twist of a bun with adornment, she has a style that looks awesome on the court and one that can be worn easily for a few weeks, though it does take hours to complete.

Slight lift starts the base of this formal on Rosario Dawson that is either natural or you can do a little back-combing prior to smoothing into an updo.   Her chunky layers make it easy to design this asymmetrical look that consists of sweeping bangs, a rolled back side section ending in a curl bend and a 1 1/2" to 2" wide section of dangling curl for a dramatic effect.

Spice Girl, Melanie Brown, is promoting her Fitness line, yet no ponytails here.  She has full blown waves that are strongly locked in from the relaxed state of her own natural curls.
