Summer is just around the corner! If you’re looking for the perfect summer updo, Karrueche Tran has a pretty new take on braided buns. The catch? You might need to be Karrueche to pull this off — or at least have her hairstylist on speed dial.

The 27-year-old American actress and model was spotted on the red carpet of the 7th Indie Series Awards at the El Portal Theater in Hollywood.

Ready to see her updo? A word of caution: if you’re practicing this hairstyle on yourself, expect a good arm workout.
