Ah, the sweet nostalgia of the early 2000s β a time when side bangs reigned supreme and frosted tips were all the rage. While some trends from that era have made a comeback (hello, butterfly clips and low-rise jeans), one hairstyle has remained relatively dormant: the classic Y2K side bangs. But fear not, because Selena Gomez and Megan Thee Stallion are here to change that.
Let’s start with Selena, shall we? After a night of celebrating Benny Blanco’s birthday with her bestie Nicola Peltz-Beckham, Selena decided to debut a throwback hairstyle that sent shockwaves through the fashion world. The occasion? Well, it was none other than side bangs paired with a bold cherry red ensemble that screamed vintage glamour.
With her hair parted in an off-center side part and straightened to perfection, Selena’s dark brown locks cascaded effortlessly down to her chest, exuding bounce and shine with every step. But it was her millennial-coded bangs that stole the show, framing her face and adding a touch of sultry drama to her look. And let’s not forget β this isn’t the first time Selena has rocked side bangs. Back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, she was the reigning queen of the style, sporting it everywhere from red carpets to the set of “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
But Selena isn’t the only one bringing back this iconic hairstyle β enter Megan Thee Stallion. Known for her fierce attitude and killer style, Megan has been turning heads left and right with her latest hair transformation. Opting for a deep side part with a thick fringe swept over her forehead, Megan’s long black curls perfectly complemented her soft glam look.
In another stunning look, Megan switched things up with loose waves worn over one shoulder, adding a piece-y twist to her side bangs for an extra dose of edge. With a monochromatic brown palette to match her leather ensemble, Megan proved that side bangs are versatile enough to elevate any look, whether it’s casual chic or full-on glam.
So, whether you’re a die-hard fan of the early 2000s or just looking to spice up your hairstyle game, take a cue from Selena Gomez and Megan Thee Stallion and embrace the power of the side bang. After all, as they’ve shown us, everything old is new again β especially when it comes to hair trends.
