As the poster-girl for city chic, Sarah Jessica Parker balances her hyper-trendy fashion statements with a low-maintenance ponytail as Carrie Bradshaw on "Sex and the City."

Jennifer Lopez, 2004

Previous Slide Jennifer Lopez, 2004 Next Slide

Equal parts glamour-girl and girl-next-door, Jennifer Lopez is channeling her inner "Jenny from the block" in this simple, wisp-heavy ponytail.

Gwen Stefani, 2005

Previous Slide Gwen Stefani, 2005 Next Slide

Straying from her typical Marilyn Monroe curls, Gwen Stefani updates her signature platinum-hair-red-lips combination with the sculpted volume of this sleek style.

Blake Lively, 2009

Previous Slide Blake Lively, 2009 Next Slide

The envy of short-legged, short-haired women everywhere, Blake Lively looks like a modern goddess with her long braided ponytail on the red carpet at the 2009 Emmy Awards.

8 of 11

Drew Barrymore, 2009

Previous Slide Drew Barrymore, 2009 Next Slide

It's hard to keep up with the many changes in haircolor and cut that style chameleon Drew Barrymore has tried out over the years — but who could forget the flippy retro 'do she wore at the world premiere of <em>He's Just Not That Into You</em>? Paired with lush lashes and a pastel pink pout, it doesn't get more 1950s-flirty than this.

9 of 11

Lady Gaga, 2011

Previous Slide Lady Gaga, 2011 Next Slide

While a comparitively tame hairstyle for Lady Gaga, this super-high ponytail bears a remarkable resemblance to that of Madonna as previously pictured. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery though, right?
