Rosario Dawson wore her long hair to the side at the Zookeeper premiere in L.A. on July 6 — but she wasn't wearing your average over-the-shoulder 'do. Peeking out from underneath, the 32-year-old actress sported a braid near the nape of her neck, which blended into the free-flowing hairstyle.

At the 2011 BET Awards in L.A. on June 26, Alicia Keys styled her strands into an ever-popular fishtail braid.

Maria Menounos demonstrated a great way to wear a braid when you aren't in the mood for a full-on plait.
