Anna Passey made a stylish entrance at the BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards, offering a double dose of glam with the perfect blend of leather and lace. She skillfully layered her ensemble, donning a short and sweet champagne-colored lace dress adorned with classic white pearl trim.
 
On top, she rocked a chic noir-colored leather jacket, effortlessly coordinated with black ankle boots and a matching clutch. Her style wasn't the only envy-inducing element that evening. Her perfectly executed asymmetrical glam-rocker braid quickly became a trending hot topic.
 
Anna's neutrally toned chestnut hair color strikes the perfect balance - not too light, not too dark - providing a versatile canvas for a variety of facial cosmetic options without worrying about clashes with her hair color.

Anna's hair is horizontally parted in half, from ear to ear. The top section (from the top of the occipital bone up) is divided into a total of six sub-sections for back-combing: two on the left, two on the right, and finally two in the back. Each section is teased and sprayed with hairspray, then dried with an ionic dryer for a quick hold.
 
Next, the hair in the crown is left out while the remaining hair is gathered to the side and braided in large sections. Once the braid is secured, the top section is combed over to the same side. Random tendrils are selected and curled, then hairsprayed into place.
 
This tousled side braid perfectly complements Anna's edgy-rocker look, as if she just finished performing a hit rock 'n' roll song for millions of fans.
