From being a software engineer in Delhi to now being one of the leading actresses in the country, she has definitely come a long way. Not only is this curly-haired beauty stunning, but is also known for her empowering women-centric movies. If you haven’t already guessed, we’re talking about none other than the beautiful Taapsee Pannu.
While we’re totally obsessed with her acting chops, there is no way you can’t envy her those gorgeous curls. She is one of those few actresses who takes pride in her beautiful ringlet curls and misses no opportunity to flaunt them. “I’m in love with my curly hair, and I’ll not trade it for anything,” is something the actress has confessed on several occasions.
And because we get super love-struck each time we see those curls, we decided to celebrate Taapsee’s 33rd birthday today by rounding up six times she gave us major hairstyle goals.
- 01. Sleek ponytail
- 02. Cornrow bun updo
- 03. Safety pin braided bun
- 04. Tousled gajra bun
- 05. Accessorised rope braid
- 05. Scarf-looped top knot
01. Sleek ponytail

Whoever says you can’t flaunt a sleek ponytail with curly hair, clearly hasn’t Taapsee do so — with so much panache. We love the mid-parted sleek low ponytail that just looks so gorgeous with that modern saree and minimal makeup.
02. Cornrow bun updo

Cornrow braids and a saree isn’t the most obvious combination, but Taapsee carries it with the highest level of elan. We love how the cornrow braided bun gives this otherwise dainty attire a super sporty and unique feel.
03. Safety pin braided bun

Another experimental hairstyle that really won our hearts is this safety pin studded infinity bun. Daring and edgy, this stunning hairstyle that Taapsee rocks so effortlessly, may not be for the faint-hearted, but we sure love it!
04. Tousled gajra bun

If you are a curly-haired girl, then buns would be, without a doubt, your go-to hairdo, especially with a saree. But Taapsee takes this a notch higher by not just adding the gajra, but also embracing her natural hair texture to give this classic hairdo a retro touch.
05. Accessorised rope braid

Curly-haired girls are super lucky because they have a lot of natural volume to play around with, and Taapsee sure knows how to make the most of her bouncy curls. We love how the thread-looped rope braid not only looks super trendy, but helps draws attention to her naturally voluminous mane.
05. Scarf-looped top knot

If you didn’t already know, Taapsee loves hair accessories and never misses out on an opportunity to wear one. Here she’s wearing a pretty blue scarf that adds a lot of character to that messy top knot. Such a summer-perfect hairdo, don’t you think?
