It seems all the girls who hit the red carpet for the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” premiere had the same idea: reviving Princess Leia’s iconic two-bun hairstyle.
After Sofia Vergara arrived in her messy bun version, Karrueche Tran and her glam squad decided to do a play on the trend with their own take.

“In the 1977 film, I was working very hard to create something different that wasn’t fashion, so I went with a kind of Southwestern Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look, which is what that is. The buns are basically from turn-of-the-century Mexico. Then it took such hits and became such a thing. In the new trilogy, the same thing applies, to try and do something timeless. I’m just basically having a good time,” George Lucas told TIME Magazine in April 2002 about the inspiration for Princess Leia’s iconic buns.
The half-black, half-Vietnamese beauty was photographed looking chic on the red carpet of the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” held in Los Angeles.

Karrueche took an entirely different direction when it came to her outfit, however.
The model wore a cleavage-baring Balenciaga suit, styling the not-quite business formal outfit with a clutch from Tory Burch, jewelry from Jared Lehr, and the “Andrea” metallic snake mules from Giuseppe Zanotti.

The 27-year-old also sported flash tattoos on her neck from K Ink by Karrueche Tran.
Karrueche’s version certainly had more kink to it (wink, wink — get it?) when compared to Sofia’s classy-messy bun version. Which one won this round for you?
