Attitude in hotel event shows top style (6)

I believe the answer is:

hairdo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'top style' is the definition.
'hairdo' can be an answer for 'style' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'top' bit.

'attitude in hotel event' is the wordplay.
'attitude' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet).
'event' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of event).
'h'+'do'='hdo'
'air' placed inside 'hdo' is 'HAIRDO'.

'shows' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hairdo that I've seen before include "Pageboy maybe" , "What one may have expected from 'Sweeney Todd'" , "Style for one's crowning glory" , "Say, crew cut" , "Cut and set" .)
