Trend Alert! Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman and Li'l Sally Draper Part Their Hair in the Middle

Check out the hot Hollywood hair trend popping up on red carpets

Center parts have taken, well, center stage in Hollywood. Several red carpet veterans, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman and Lauren Conrad, have recently parted ways—literally!—with intricate updos in favor of middle parts paired with easygoing, loose locks.

The fuss-free hairstyle is surprisingly versatile, channeling a boho chic flair when worn with loose curls (as seen on blond beauty Elisha Cuthbert) or a sophisticated sleek vibe when paired with pin-straight tresses. We love Kiernan Shipka's take on the trend, which offsets a potentially harsh precision part with a playful volumized lift.

The young Mad Men star also sports the best length for the look—a collarbone-skimming, medium-length mane. Middle parts tend to elongate the face (making them ideal for those with round or wide face shapes), but can venture into undesirable "Why the long face?" territory for those with super long hair.

The best, ahem, part about the look? A fine tooth comb and flyaway-controlling product is virtually all you need to create the effortlessly chic style.
