Bella Hadid has done it again—making a bold statement with her latest hairstyle that could be the most convincing reason to embrace bangs this year. The supermodel, known for her unparalleled sartorial influence, debuted her new look during a recent appearance in Dubai, and it’s already causing a stir in the beauty world.
Hadid, who has previously set trends with her iconic style choices—from popularizing Coach’s Brooklyn hobo bag to becoming the first to wear Proenza Schouler’s collaboration with Sorel off the runway—has now made a major hair transformation. While she had just been spotted in New York sporting her signature soft, layered hair, she turned heads in Dubai with a dramatic chop and a textured fringe.
Styled by celebrity hairstylist Syd Hayes, Hadid’s new bangs are full-bodied and voluminous, with wispy pieces framing her face for a dynamic and dimensional effect. The rest of her hair was cut into longer layers, styled either around her ears or swept back in a half-up, half-down style that oozes 90s nostalgia. The vibe? A chic, modern interpretation of Monica Bellucci’s elegant glamour or a grown-up version of Winona Ryder’s iconic Beetlejuice character, Lydia Deetz.
It’s no surprise that these style icons may have influenced Hadid’s latest look, especially given her previous Halloween costume as Lydia Deetz and the recent resurgence of the character in popular culture. But in true Hadid fashion, the 28-year-old added her own high-fashion twist to the ensemble, wearing an archival Thierry Mugler utility shirt from 1980, paired with sparkling Chopard jewelry, further cementing her place as a trendsetter.
Whether you’re considering a chop or simply admiring from afar, Hadid’s bold new look may just be the nudge you need to try bangs this season. Bring this picture to your next salon appointment—you might just walk out with a stunning fringe of your own.
