Madison Beer shot to fame after being scouted by none other than Justin Bieber in 2012 (it's hard to see others living your dream). And as we all know by now, with this fame comes the glitz and the glam of red carpets, music videos, TV appearances, and more, which all amount to the creation of some uh-ma-zin' beauty looks (amongst many other things, of course).
Miss Beer has served up some ✨magical✨ lewks which all seem to stay within the realm of what TikTok coined as 'cottage core'. Aesthetically speaking, cottage core embraces the charm of the countryside aka an idealised representation of farm life. Think: floral, whimsical, dreamy, country living. And in terms of beauty, this look would include hairstyles like the recently popular 'Tinkerbell' topknot, loose beachy waves, and accessories such as hair bows or ribbons.
In Madison's most recent Instagram post, where she is living her best life in Paris (jealous, much?), we can't help but notice that she has the cottage core look down to a T, with a satin ribbon hair accessory. Adorbs.
And it's not just in this post that she's been rocking the style. She has also been sporting the classic school hair accessory in some of her posts from a few months ago, too.
In fact, we think she looks a lot like Ariana Grande with this half-up half-down hairstyle and bow. Ari is another celeb who loves the cottage core trend and this look was very much part of her signature style circa 2013. It's definitely transporting me back to year eight when we all tried to replicate this look...
Ari has actually been switching up her look lately and even sported her hair... DOWN in Kardashian-esque mermaid waves. Yep, out with the old and in with the new. So, I guess you could say this hairstyle is Madison's trademark now?
Everyone's clicking on...
Now, we're just waiting to get the two together so that someone (aka us fans) can convince them to do a duet together. Tweets at the ready, peeps.
