They are setting the trend for fall.
This week has been rich for pixies, starting off with Zendaya’s faux style to Megan Thee Stallion’s new Kris Jenner-inspired look. Let’s get started with Zendaya’s newest hair transformation that might just hijack being one of the coolest looks from the Paris Fashion Week. We’re all familiar with her prowess for changing up her style to fit the energy of an outfit, but this time she had us convinced she had chopped off her signature locks for a daring new look. When Zendaya stepped out in an oversized Louis Vuitton blazer with blonde strands swept up in a voluminous bun, it created an illusion of a chic faux pixie cut that had us all doing a double take.
Her blonde highlights were a nice contrast with the darker roots, pulling off a “frosted tips” effect. But on closer inspection, it was clear her locks were just swept into a sophisticated ballerina bun. That look still proves if Zendaya ever wanted to go full pixie, she’d absolutely kill it.
But wait, this isn’t the first time Zendaya flirted with the pixie aesthetic. Take it all the way back to 2016 when the then-19-year-old actress turned heads with a bold blonde pixie cut as WE tv’s David Tutera CELEBrations presented the launch of her shoe collection, Daya by Zendaya, at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles. Soft bangs completed the edgy cropped style that framed her face so easily. It was a fresh, modern twist framing her features and proving she could pull off just about any look with confidence and style. That pixie wasn’t only a hairstyle; it was a statement.
Now, we decided to take a step further and try out a different cut on Zendaya using our Free AI Hairstyle Changer – a modern, chic pixie in platinum blonde shade. The cool-toned shade brings brightness to her complexion, providing a nice contrast with the warmth of her skin tone and thus making her features pop.
This cut has blunt piecey bangs that graze her forehead. The slightly rounded shape softens the cut, while the textured layers throughout give it dimension and movement so that it doesn’t feel too rigid or flat. This brings out her high cheekbones and sharp jawline by accentuating the natural bone structure. It’s an elegant hairstyle with an edge – one we’d love to see her actually rock in the future.
Moving on to that one person who can change up her hair and leave us speechless – Megan Thee Stallion. The rapper who has worn just about every colour and cut under the sun, has just debuted a new pixie cut that may be the best look yet. On October 6, Megan posted the new look to Instagram, revealing a jet-black pixie cut featuring side-swept bangs, à la Kris Jenner’s iconic style-but updated and way edgier. Paired with flipped ends, this deep side part gave off major ’90s “bixie” vibes and paired really nicely with the all-black ensemble: low-rise pants and a cropped button-down top.
As for the AI hairstyle change, we chose this layered brunette pixie cut that Thee Stallion amazingly pulls off with her features and bold style. The deep chocolate brown adds some warmth and depth to her eyes and marries seamlessly with her complexion. It has a deep side part and layers for softness, adding depth and movement that helps keep this look dynamic and fresh.
The side-swept bangs frame her face and emphasize the eyes and cheekbones while softening the overall edgy cut. The glossy finish completes the style. It’s a look we’d love to see her pull off since it catches the balance between edgy chic and timeless glamour to perfection.
Whether you’re inspired by Zendaya’s faux pixie illusion or Megan Thee Stallion’s daring cuts, this fall is all about taking the risk and going with shorter styles. Both prove that pixies and bobs are not only pragmatic but can also be oh-so versatile and chic. And with our tool, you can try them for yourself – pixies included. So, which look are you ready to try this season?
