Model and style icon Bella Hadid practically has both Millennials and Gen Z in a chokehold. I mean, she has single-handly inspired a whole generation to copy her model-off-duty street style. For example: Hadid wore “ugly” early 2000s-style low-rise cargo pants, so everyone else had to wear low-rise cargo pants. There’s also the most recent TikTok trend she started, which has influenced everyone to look as fabulous as possible doing any task — even if it’s just going to the gas station.

That said, the supermodel and Kin wellness drink ambassador has a reach that extends beyond her fashion style. In terms of her approach to beauty, Hadid’s highly-copied slicked-back bun is definitely one of her her signature looks, but if you browse her Insta profile you know she’s always giving her followers tons of hairstyle inspo to pull from. She loves an effortless updo or a Y2K-style pony, but can also be found letting her tresses flow down her back. But you never know what her next ‘do or hair color will be — hence the beauty chameleon’s allure.

If you’re looking for some beauty inspiration, keep scrolling for some of Hadid’s best hairstyles — featuring her recent French-girl look, flowing waves, and so many more.

The French-Girl Bangs

Bangs are often considered something that you do one time and regret, but Hadid’s latest haircut has me thinking that this is the new cool-girl look. She's been rocking her new style in all sorts of updos, proving that French-style fringe is incredibly versatile.

At the 2022 Met Gala, Hadid brought ultimate gilded glamour with this Regencycore half-up half-down look. Dressed in Burberry, she had some of her hair pulled up with braided tendrils framing her face and the crown of her head while the rest of her strands were left in soft curls.

Oftentimes, Hadid sports an au natural look by letting her brown hair cascade down her back with soft natural waves.

The Face-Framing Tendrils

Summer’s hottest hairstyle is the Y2K-esque braided face-framing tendrils, so it's no surprise that Hadid was one of the first to jump on board. Here she shows off the style with the rest of her hair gathered into a high pony.
