Nothing is quite as satisfying as when two celebrities twin with a matching look. Not only does it confirm a trend but it's a reminder that like you and I, they're also influenced by the eb and flows of trend culture. And two sisters proving that point today are Nicole Richie and Sofia Richie Grainge with their ever-so-similar updos.
Like many sister duos, the two have grown up to blossom a strong relationship (or so it is perceived via social media), attending family occasions and celebrations alike arm in arm. And it was just a few days ago/over the weekend [11 November 2023] that the pair most recently stepped out onto a glistening red carpet. Aka, the sisters attended the coveted Baby2Baby Gala Presented By Paul Mitchell.
To no surprise, both Nicole and Sofia turned up and out with glam looks from head-to-toe but it was their matching sleek updos that stole our spotlight. See the preened-to-perfection hairstyles below:
Keeping both looks clean and chic, both Nicole and Sofia opted to have their locks styled without a parting, making for a sophisticated look. Both buns sit just below the crown of their heads and to frame her face, Sofia has kept two strands out at either side of her ears.
Not only that but both girls' makeup looks give off a similar, 'minimal effort, maximum pay off' vibe. Category is: muted tones and nude lips. Mwah!
Forever proving to be thee pop culture dynasty, folks.
