Every now and then, beauty trends from earlier decades come back around. We've seen 90s brows hit peak revival with Kylie Jenner (those were not for the faint-hearted), Pamela Anderson's iconic 90s updo doing the rounds on TikTok and many, many 'a Y2K look, including the infamous Claires Accessories butterfly hair clips. #Nostalgia at its finest.
Now though, thanks to Bella Hadid's recent Instagram lewk, we're taking it back a couple more decades to the '60s with a very mod-style haircut.
In Bella's four-part IG post, she provides us with all the behind-the-scenes pictures we could ever wish for. And these, unsurprisingly (seeing as she is a model, duh!), come to us from her Vogue Spain August cover shoot. Take a look below:
The cropped pixie cut that hairstylist Evanie Frausto created, is accompanied by an itsy-bitsy micro-fringe, which is all tied together with a black headband accessory. I don't think she could get any more '6os if she tried! It's giving Joan of Arc with a hint of Liam Gallagher circa 2005, but in the BEST way possible, ofc.
Though, as rouge as it may seem, this isn't the first time we've seen Bella sport this hairstyle. Back in April, the model shared a few Instagram pics with this very same pixie cut and micro-fringe.
Although both this and her previous pixie cut are very editorial (they are from editorial shoots, after all), in recent years we've seen many other celebs rock the 60s mod pixie-meets-bowl haircut IRL. Charithra Chandran rocked a similar retro look not too long ago, as well as Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy and even Kris Jenner.
Everyone's clicking on...
Now, all there is to do is make this look go viral. TikTok, I hand this one over to you...
