If you're looking for a fresh, fun way to style your hair this summer, then you are in the right place. Because everyone's favourite New Rules singer, Dua Lipa, has shown the way, with the latest celeb trend: baby braids.

In her most recent Instagram post, Dua treated us to a series of ten new pictures and videos from her UK tour thus far, including the first being an up close and personal selfie, where–like always–she looks incredible. The star is sporting her signature flurry brows, a minimal eyeshadow look, and a subtle over-lined nude lip.

However, although the makeup is on point, what we can't stop staring at is her very on-trend hairstyle.

Instead of limiting the plaits to just the two front pieces of face-framing strands, Dua has weaved more throughout her dark locks just as Megan Fox did at The Daily Front Row's 6th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. And although Dua's tresses have not undergone a wavy mermaid makeover, these braids definitely do add a little somethin' somethin' to any down 'do, whether that be straight, curly or anything in between.

So, if your freshly straightened hair got ruined by unpredictable UK weather this morning (or worse, the sweaty commute), then why not add a few plaits into your locks. Good. As. New.
