I need a somewhat formal hair style for me....pics included?!?

Ok so I'm going to a gala in a couple weeks but don't have the time to go by a hair salon to get my hair done so I need a cute hairstyle that I can do with my hair.



This is me:

This is what my dress looks like, kind of a bad picture but it's the best I could do...

What kind of hair style would look good for me, that I would be able to do myself? If it helps my hair is kind of thick.



If you have some ideas can you please explain how to do them? I've grown up without a mom so I'm just getting into the hair and makeup stuff xD This is all kind of new to me!I need a somewhat formal hair style for me....pics included?!?
You can style your hair the 20's style,or get curls.....aaand,I'm sorry,but your dress is unflattering.It makes you look like an old lady.Try something more youthful and classy.I need a somewhat formal hair style for me....pics included?!?
