When it comes to red carpet appearances, actresses go all out to achieve that perfect look. Dress from a leading international designer? Check. The latest season Jimmy Choos or Louboutins? Check.

And what about their hairdos? While it's an integral part of the whole look in the west, our ladies in Bollywood have recently woken up to the wonders a well thought-out hairdo can do to their dress.

So here we go hairstyle spotting, the hottest and the most interesting ones, one at a time!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Cannes, 2011

Remember the awesomeness that Ash was at Cannes? The actress looke and moved like a dream at the biggest film festival in the world and was even feted as one of the best dressed attendees.

This particular hairstyle saw her veer away from her play-safe mode as she went for a tight-upswept do and pulled it off.

The bongshell was one helluva stunner at IIFA back in 2007. With a dangerously revealing red dress and dramatic eye make-up, the actress let her predictably styled hair take a backseat.
