Almost as important as the Oscars themselves are the after-show parties, and Miley Cyrus showed up at Elton John's shindig with this fab spiked shorty. Here's how to style it:

1. You need to make sure that the platinum blonde highlights really stand out against the darker roots, so prep your hair with a colour-specific shampoo.

2. Use a matte wax to rough-up your hair into those punky spikes. Try not to be too deliberate as the key to this look is its fashionably messy feel.

3. Finish off with a light spritz of shine spray to enhance your natural gleam.
