Kate Hudson was recently a guest on Ellen’s talk show looking chic in a high swingy ponytail.

Ellen dedicated the entire show to pregnant mothers and since Kate is very pregnant, due in July with her second child, she was a great celebrity guest.  Of course there are so many celebrities who are pregnant right now Ellen probably had her pick.

The actress was an appropriate choice because she has a new movie, Something Borrowed, which opened on Friday (5/6/11).

Dressed in a long sleeved, knee-length flowy gown with stunning heels, Kate’s blonde tresses were pulled back off her face, except for a few stray wisps and then pulled into a flirty long pony a few inches below her crown.

The California cool flirty pony bounced as she walked and talked.  The top of the ponytail looked like it had been slightly finger-raked to give it a very cool and tousled appeal.  The tail itself had been curled and loose ringlets were scattered throughout the length.

The bubbly blonde California girl revealed she is keeping the baby’s sex a surprise until delivery.  However, she told Ellen that she suspects it may be a girl.   Not only has the pregnancy been different than her first one with her son Ryder, but she said this baby “pushes down more.  It is way more active than Ryder”.

Danilo has said about Cate “She looks incredible with long hair, short hair, a dark wig.”

Townsend has said “She always wants to do the opposite” with her hair compared to the current trends.  He noted “If someone’s wearing a couture gown with her hair up, she (Cate) wants to wear hers down.”

She will constantly surprise on the red carpet going with an elaborate updo or simply tousled bedhead hair.  With Cate you just never know what her hair mood will be.  Indeed Blanchett has been a redhead, brunette and blonde at various times in her esteemed acting career.

Hair How To:  Copy Cate’s Platinum Blonde Short  Choppy Hairstyle

Fall 2010 Trend Guide:  Style
Downtown Chic Meets Uptown Classic
Style Trend 3:  City Ballerina – Jet Rhys

“It’s a chic and classic look, but made to feel younger with the placement of the knot and the size!”

“I’ve seen such celebrities as Sarah Jessica Parker, Whitney Port and Kate Bosworth all carry this style and most wearable size of the knot would be no larger than a fist.”

Adapting This Trend For The Everyday Woman:

• Apply Texture Expert Lift Extreme from roots to ends on damp hair for ultimate control and luxurious shine.  Blow-dry upside down to help create the high placement.
• Next, apply Texture Expert Shine Perfection all over hair to control frizz and gather hair into a high ponytail sitting at the crown all while your head is still flipped over.
• Twist ends, wrap and pin into a classic chignon.
• Finish off with Infinium 4 and walk with your head held ballerina high.
• Don’t forget to bring your min Infinium around for touch-ups.  Fits perfectly into your purse.
