Another netizen enjoyed Moore’s elegant look, stating, “Love the details on this. It’s fun and elegant. I know we’re used to seeing Demi with her hair down for events, but up is so flattering here. Bravo! 👏”

Although the sleek bun look needed a bit of getting used to for some viewers, they still loved it. “So strange to see you with your hair tied up after all these looks with the long sleek hair down but still gagging ❤️,” wrote one commenter. Another person added, “The hair back for a change is gorgeous.”

Moore’s new hairstyle outshone even the stunning gown she wore. The dress featured a draped neckline with rhinestone details around her shoulders and waist.

She paired the elegant look with silver heels to match the gems and dainty diamond earrings. She also kept her makeup simple to let her hair and dress stand out.

The actress’s new slicked-back bun is a trend that has dominated the beauty community over the past decade. This hairstyle has been a top choice among those who favor the “cool girl aesthetic.” It is usually paired with minimal makeup and gives a more polished finish to any look.

Celebrity hairstylist Kathleen Riley praises the style, saying, "To me, it’s a powerful hairstyle. It shows off the face beautifully and is simple yet elegant."

This hairstyle has become a staple for many people, as it is also universal and works with every hair texture. "It's quick, easy, requires very little technique, and is a great way to have a low-manipulation protective style,” adds hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos.

However, Demi Moore did not adopt the trendy hairdo until recently, as fans know her for rocking her long black hair. In some instances, internet users have not always loved her hair, especially when styled for red-carpet looks.

For instance, Moore's recent gown for the Cannes Film Festival was criticized for its unusual design and how her hair was styled with it. This was the actress' first appearance at the prestigious event in 27 years. She attended "The Substance" premiere in a gorgeous silver mermaid gown.

The gown had an arrowed segment popping straight out on her left side and was styled with silver and diamond earrings and a necklace. The statement dress also featured a neckline that showed a bit of her cleavage.

Some comments focused on the gown's unusual design, including the exaggerated appendage that many fans found puzzling. One critic quipped, "She’s good but what in gods name is that appendage shooting out of her dress."

Another user wondered why Moore went for that dress remarking, "Demi can poke an eye out with that dress!" Furthermore, an unimpressed fan mocked the dress, noting that its unique design seemed to be saying, "The exit is that way 👉🏻." Another chimed in bluntly, "Weird dress!"

"Her hair is too much," one person noted, while another concurred, "Yes agreed... 👍 needs to be put up in a bun... not appropriate for her age." A user who shared similar views wrote, "That hair is weird."

Another person loved Moore's look but was also against her hairstyle, saying, "Demi Moore is like Halle Berry in that they both look beautiful and more youthful with short hair, in my opinion her hair is wayyy too long it does not suit her at all 🥰😍."
