While Rita Ora added a typically edgy element to her bun in the form of a gelled tip - but in no way does it distract from that super-taught top-not.

And while the celebrities are likely opting for high buns for fashion over face lifts, there is some science behind it.

Celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin previously told : “To get the hair as smooth and sleek as possible, you really have to tightly comb the hair back and secure it with a hair bungee.

“This will pull the skin on the face back with it, making your face feel tighter and lifted”
