Sorry, Taylor Swift. As much as love you and your country tunes, today’s ARIA Awards beauty chit-chat is not about you and your full fringe and rather strict low ‘do – it’s about two other hairstyles that stole the show on this year’s red carpet. And modern ‘dos at that.
Deep side-parts and imperfect centre-parts: they came, they saw, and they impressed. And while they’re both quite classic and seen as go-to styles for us everyday folk, both are perfectly suited to toning down the prom-factor of fancy frocks, making them perfect for a red carpet occasion such as this.
But which style looked the best on these Aussie starlets? Centre-parts are the epitome of summer, while the oh-so-deep side-part is modern, fresh and soon to be seen on heads everywhere – we’re having trouble making our minds up.
Do you bat for Team Deep Side-Parts because you’re in love with the seductively feminine ‘dos spied on Ruby Rose and Hi-5’s Lauren Brant? Or have you joined Team Imperfect Centre-Parts because you’re in awe of the way DJ Havana Brown and Erin McNaught have freshened up their frocks with relaxed strands? Or are you still not sure?
Well, we’re suggesting you snoop through this gallery immediately (if not sooner!) so you can make an informed decision. I mean, this is a big, serious, the-world-depends-on-it kind of question, really (ha!), so give us your answer below…

Team Deep Side-Parts: Ruby Rose
Ruby really knows how to make a statement, and this edgy, deep side-parted ‘do paired with cornrow-esque twists certainly does that. Add to that a pop of orange on the lips, and Miss Rose’s signature quirky style is complete.
Team Deep Side-Parts: Lauren Brant
The Hi-5 songstress looks like a runway model in this sparkle and feather-covered gown, doesn’t she? Keeping her make-up rather neutral, she’s amped-up the feminine factor with her deep side-parted curls.
Team Imperfect Centre-Parts: DJ Havana Brown
Looking somewhat mermaid-like with her plunging neckline and flowing super-blonde hair, Havana certainly knows how to draw attention to her eyes. By blow-drying her hair forward, the ‘curtains’ of hair frame her face perfectly.
Team Imperfect Centre-Parts: Erin McNaught
Looking impeccably glowy in her forest green cut-out frock, Erin’s chocolate strands have been blow-dried forward in the same way as Havana Brown’s, making her eyes POP. Lovin’ those imperfect waves, Erin.
