The boys 2000s are back in town with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Megan Thee Stallion sporting the trending hair looks of the time. We've had the Lauren Conrad quiff, the Y2K prom updo and even the iconic side part but arguably, the style most worn by celebrities atm is the iconic 00s fringe. Cue the 'scene' era flashbacks. Now, jumping onto the hype with her very own take on the look is one of the biggest high-fashion models of our time, Emily Ratajkowski.
Just like everyone on your Instagram feeds, Emily took to Fashion Week, where she made a runway cameo in London and debuted a new hairstyle when taking to the New York just last week.
Now, though, Em has debuted a freshened up version of her hair in Milan. But before we get to the big reveal, let's begin by taking a look at her pre-Fashion Week London locks:
A lengthy swooping bang with just below the chest mid-end lengths – we love. And now, to compare, let's take a look at her most recent 'do. First, here's a snap of the fringe in an up-style bun:
Plus, one with her hair fully down:
While there isn't a drastic difference, her locks have definitely been refined for the upcoming fashion shows. And there's certainly is a noticeable difference between this look and the time Emily attempted to give herself an at-home haircut!
Everyone's clicking on...
We wonder if the artist behind the hair was in fact the model herself??? Do tell, Em...
