Lola Tung has been serving immaculate press looks for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, and with the movie on the way, we can expect more Y2K-inspired dreamy updos in the future. The star landed her breakout role in TSITP when she was just 18. She has since gone on to make her Broadway debut in Hadestown and has two other films, Forbidden Fruits and The Young People, yet to be released.
There’s plenty of beauty inspiration to take from Tung’s gorgeous looks, so if you need something to take to the hairdresser or an idea of what hair accessories to try next, look no further. From a sleek blowout at the Paris finale celebration to her 60s-inspired pony at Paris Fashion Week, here’s a look at all of Lola Tung’s best hairstyles over the years.

Lola Tung’s bob in The Summer I Turned Pretty
Lola Tung sported a cropped bob for Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, signifying a new chapter for her character, Belly Conklin. While she was game to chop her hair off for the show, due to scenes being shot out of order, it was faked slightly with a wig. So, if you want to sport a bob but don’t want to commit, a wig could be an option for you. Showrunner and creator Jenny Han told People that Tung had the front of her hair cut, while the back was placed into a U-line wig.

*That* spiky Y2K updo
The actor channelled Y2K style when she arrived on the red carpet for Prime Video’s Book Club event in Australia. Wearing a 2003 Versace purple mini slip dress and white slip-on heels, her look reminded us of Jennifer Garner in Suddenly 30. The spiky updo with a slicked side part is super fun for a night out, and having your hair up means more attention will be on your chunky accessories. Photo: Courtesy of Prime Video.
