Celebrities Are Bringing Back the Side Part—10 Ways to Wear the Hairstyle

A few years back, the internet was up in arms over a collective hatred for the side part. People on TikTok were undergoing full hair transformations just by inching their part slightly toward the center of their scalp, and suddenly, a deep side part became a relic of the 2000s. “Cheugy,” they called it. But as of late, celebrities seem to have delivered one single message: The side part is officially back.

The hairstyle had a major revival at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where supermodels strutted down the runway with voluminous, high-gloss blowouts that showed everyone why the side part worked so well in the first place—it adds tons of volume and makes any hairstyle look more polished. You can pull off a side part with pretty much any hairdo and cut, from textured bobs and bouncy blowouts to sleek updos.

And as someone who has never worn a side part (like, ever), I think I might just be convinced to try it out. There’s something about the lift it gives the crown of your head that makes your hair look fuller and more elevated, instead of sitting flat on both sides. And while I don’t have bouncy hair à la Bella Hadid, a side part could be the simplest way to fake it.

If you’ve been debating making the switch—or have been loyal to your side part through all the internet backlash—keep scrolling for the best side-part inspiration from our fave celebs and beauty muses.
