Do you know how many secrets it would take to fill hair this big? The limit does not exist. Emily Ratajkowski just wore her hair in the biggest blown-out curls for her Viktor and Rolf Launch party, and if there's one way to say; "This is my party b*tchezz,", it's this hair.

The gravity-defying look was created by Jennifer Yepez, and shared on Instagram by glam collaborator, makeup artist Hung Vango. The dark eye and sharp centre part make the curls look anything but childish, with a striking kapow of 80s supermodel energy just smacking us all in the face (non-violently).

The launch was in honour of Emily's new role as the face of Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, the best-selling fragrance which, if you can believe it, will be turning 20 in just two years. Sorry what?

But the look has got our beauty detective brains ticking, because Em just chopped it all off into a french micro-bob... she's posted with the bob four times in a week, so we were willing to believe it wasn't a wig.

So are the curls a wig? That might explain just how such big thick juicy curls could be possible on someone with naturally straight hair.

Honestly, the world of celeb hair is a never-ending wig version of the lockdown 'is that real, or is that cake' internet hole. But we lowkey love it. Trick us, fool us, keep us on our toes.
