Gigi Hadid Tries the Side-Bang Trend at the “Deadpool & Wolverine” Premiere
Supermodel Gigi Hadid is a force to be reckoned with on and off the red carpet, whether she's sporting a Thom Browne gown at the Met Gala or coordinating the Horse Girls trend with her sister Bella in street style. She is also a modern beauty icon, as she did at last night's “Deadpool & Wolverine” premiere with her trendy side bangs.
Celebrity hairstylists Dimitris Giannetos and Chris McMillan have created dozens of head-turning looks over the course of Gigi Hadid's career, but last night's was especially notable for its gravity-defying volume. The model hit the carpet with a fun, voluminous downstyle that contrasted with her tall bangs
, and her hair was a perfect example of the kind of volume that is so important in the world of fashion.
Hadid's hair was a sci-fi, exaggerated take on the crisp bangs popular in the 1940s and 1950s (think Veronica Lake and Bettie Page). Teased at the roots for volume, Hadid's side bangs were styled into high, stiff swirls that curled from one side of her head to the other. The back of her hair was swept back in short strands and curled at the ends to create a subtle bounce.
The modestly curled bob focused the eye on Hadid's bangs and her outfit, styled by Mimi Cattrell. Gigi Hadid dressed as Marvel superhero Wolverine in an all-gold outfit that included chunky gold jewelry, a Y2K-inspired yellow Miu Miu two-piece, and a keychain-studded Miu Miu bag. Best friend Blake Lively also made an appearance on the red carpet in a fierce Versace catsuit inspired by Deadpool's superhero uniform.
Hadid's elevated style at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere was made possible by her still-new short hair: in March, she chopped off her waist-length locks into a neck-length bob. In the months since, she has clearly continued to cut her hair and push the limits of the short style.
Hadid's twist on the side-bang trend is unique, but she is leaning toward the hairstyle that is currently sweeping Hollywood. From Kaia Gerber's curtain bangs to Keke Palmer's side bangs, long bangs seem to be the latest drool-worthy trend. It's enough to make fans wonder if it's time to bring back the side bang from the red carpet.
