You go-go, girl!

Reese Witherspoon
caught our eye when she sauntered down the Oscars 2011 red carpet rocking a retro ponytail.

With her blond locks pumped up at the crown and falling down onto her shoulders, the 34-year-old actress looked like she just stepped off the set of "Legally Blonde." Or out of a HairDo by Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves ad campaign.

But with her top-lined lids, matte pink lipstick and emerald-and-diamond Neil Lane earrings, Witherspoon adds a modern touch.

Frédéric Fekkai hairstylist Renato Campora channeled the mod spirit of the '60s to perfect this top glamour 'do. He applied Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel and Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum as a foundation. Then Campora blow-dried Witherspoon's strands with the Fekkai Large Round Brush to create fullness and volume. He divided the hair into two sections and using a 1 and a half-inch curling iron to create movement and volume on the bottom layer. The roots were teased before setting the look with Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray.

What do you think about Reese's retro ponytail? Leave a comment below and check out more celebs at the 2011 Oscars!

Love the ponytail! She is beautiful and glad to see that someone has the sense to bring back that ponytail.

Loved Reese's "do"! Paired beautifully with her gown, it was sexy, perky (as she is) ...you couldn't take your eyes off her when she moved. It was a perfect dichotomy of the modern/retro look done simplistic...it was young, but mature. Can't think of anyone else who could have pulled that off so well.

That "how to" description of Reese's hair is sorely lacking several steps. It DOES look like she used a clip/extension, I mean come on she has fine hair and all the teasing in the world won't create a crown like that PLUS the ponytail.

Would love to read a complete "how to" even if it used a clip in because I thought her hair was the best of the whole night!

Finally a woman that wants something a little different from the "everyone else" of long, straight, flat, fine looking, no style hair. I salute her, she looks like a classy young feminine woman.

Sorry to tell you but that big lump of hair on top of her head isn't her real hair. Just look at the difference in texture and color. Kind of hard to re-create that look now isn't it.......
