Lauren Conrad with a side braid Side braids are showing up all over Hollywood.  Sienna Miller wore Heidi-style braids to the Golden Globes last year, and since then all the household names have been wearing variations on the style.  Some stars have been keeping hair off their face by braiding a section of hair near their foreheads and keeping the rest loose.  The Hills' Lauren Conrad sported the look on an episode last season.
