In the world of celebrity beauty, a signature hairstyle often marks the height of fame. Think Chappell Roan’s vibrant red curls, Selena Gomez’s rich brown hair, or Ariana Grande’s famous high ponytail.
For model and beauty entrepreneur Bella Hadid, the slicked-back bun has long been her trademark look. In recent years, however, Hadid appeared to step away from the sleek updo, choosing instead relaxed, beachy waves for her day-to-day style. But now, the bun is making a comeback.
Hadid was recently spotted filming her new show, The Beauty in Paris. She paused to greet fans, dressed in a patchwork top, floor-length jeans, and pointed heels. She looked cheerful and relaxed. Known for her glowing makeup, she kept things natural—using a touch of blush, cream-toned lipstick, and soft eyeliner. Her nails were bare, avoiding any dramatic styling.
The highlight of the look was her slicked-back bun, positioned at the center of her head. This style, once again, brought focus to her sharp facial features. Simple yet stylish, the bun is a versatile option. It works well for a casual dinner, a first date, a walk in the park, or even a creative class.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton once explained to Vogue how to get the look just right. “Follow your cheekbone for the perfect placement,” he said. “Then wrap it around in a clockwise direction. Leave the ends out a bit for a cool edge, and use a second elastic to secure it. Pins can be tricky.”
To add a final touch, a bit of finishing spray or shine gloss can complete the look. With that, you’re ready to step out in classic Bella Hadid style.
