Which style do you like more—a side braid or a low bun? Why choose? Kate Mara incorporated both looks into her side-swept curls. At first glance her style looks simple, but the intricate details added a romantic touch. “We wanted her hair to feel young, romantic, and airy,” said her hairstylist Christopher Naselli, who used Oribe’s Foundation Mist ($22; oribe.com) to give the updo staying power. He added texture with a curling iron, then start braiding a piece along the right side of Mara’s head, stopping at the nape of her neck. Naselli pulled the remainder of her hair to the left side, then twisted it into a low bun. Gorgeous!

New York Giant Victor Cruz has made headlines recently for visiting the family of six-year-old Newtown victim Jack Pinto, who idolized Cruz as his favorite athlete and was buried in a replica of his football jersey. During the Giants’s game on Sunday, Cruz even wore the child’s name on his shoes and tweeted, “Today’s game is for you, Jack.” He let loose a little bit in New York with LaLa Anthony, where the two were on-hand to attend a performance by rapper T.I. at the Best Buy Theater.
