Film hairstyles - Leia's Ceremony braided updo

Here's my version of Leia's Ceremony braided updo with parandas, which I wore to see the new Star Wars film :)

-Film: Star Wars IV: A New Hope (1977)

-Character: Leia Organa

-Brief description: A braided bun (with a ponytail as base and hair donut to add volume) with a braid hanging loose from the center of the bun.

• Reference pics:

• Starting texture:  Straight (my natural hair texture)
• I used:

-A metal-free elastic for the starting ponytail.

-Three parandas.

-Small metal-free elastics in my hair colour/the colour of the paranda (or transparent ones) for the braids.

-A large donut.

-Lots of open bun pins.

-I didn't need any hair fixators (such as hairspray) for this style.

• Method and video tutorials:

I followed Torrinpaige's wonderful tutorial:

Adding three parandas, one for each braid, in this fashion:
