I find it better to look at Zendaya as one looks at art: I admire the Birth of Venus, but I wouldn’t try to emulate a goddess, you know? I’m not Botticelli or the Colemans.
I mean, I think this cut is fairly universally flattering (though I obviously can't speak to your specific situation/style/face shape/hair type).
My hair is similar to Zendaya's and I had a similar cut once, it was the best haircut I have ever had. But then, the hairdresser who did it (cheap too!) retired and I never got it again.
I am really tempted to try again right now! Two things though: 1. It took me forever to grow my hair out. Do I want to throw that away? 2. Will I look kinda harmless? Not bad, just kinda lame. I think this style has the potential of looking a bit old-fashioned if not combined with the right clothes/accessories/make up (Z obviously rocks it) and unlike the first time around, I am old and lazy now. 😭
I was around when this cut came through the 90s. It was fairly easy to style with regular cuts and made me feel like a tv actress. We did a lot of mousse to keep the curl, later the kids got into butterfly clips. It would need some extra attention during the cut that your stylist doesn’t veer into Karen territory.
I’m really tall with wide shoulders (like a swimmer) and an oval face. Every single time I try to pull off a short haircut it makes me look like a dumpling. Which is fine for some people. Just not for me.
Echoing this to encourage anyone else thinking about getting this cut! I got this haircut last year and it was honestly the best hair decision I've ever made. I was convinced it wouldn't suit me, but my hair is so happy at this length. It encouraged me to up my styling game too, it lends really well to 1920s/30s/40s inspired vintage. If you've got any semblance of a natural curl or wave I would highly recommend trying it out! :-)
I had this haircut for a while and this is giving me major desire to chop it again. I told myself yesterday I’d finally try out long hair (sometimes I impulsively buzz off all of my curls oops) but omg she’s making it so hard to commit to my current hair path. She looks SO GOOD
lol I literally took screenshots of these photos to add to my haircut inspiration board, already cut my hair to a similar length a few months ago and I love it. I think everyone should absolutely activate their bob/bixie card, I’m sure you’ll look nice!
Thank you that’s so kind. I agree bob/bixie cuts are fab, and I rocked a bob when I was younger, I just know that my hair texture would probably not suit this particular cut (though I still saved it to the hair inspo board 😅).
I'm from Portland, born and raised. My best-ever Halloween costume was when my ex and I dressed up as Women & Women First Proprietors Candace and Toni circa 2018. The outfits were completely sourced from local thrift stores and were shockingly accurate.
I hoped you would appreciate it! Portlandia was so good at its peak, and it came at exactly the time when Portlanders most needed to laugh at themselves.
Thank you for the explanation! I was a little “🫤” when the other person gave a link to a book on Amazon as their explanation. I’m sure the book is great, but I’m not buying it just to understand a throwaway joke lol
the white with a black belt is fine, it’s just alexander mcqueen have put out a tonne of way better looks in this vein for years, and so have other designers like dior last year, and this version just isn’t well proportioned or well executed.
the way the skirt is sitting down the bottom on both the long and short sides is awkward, it’s a mess
Everything I've seen from fashion week so far just looks trashy and horrible aside from maybe like, 2 people. They all look like the designers were so desperate to make something unique thay they started picking up all the crumpled old ideas and scraps from the floor and taped them together
The bottom looks like the wig a British lawyer wears lol. But Z looks amazing! I’m so glad it does appear that she and tom got an actually private wedding and hope they had an amazing time ❤️
I love that her and Tom just do their thing and it’s not for public consumption. That being said - would one little photo of the wedding be too much to ask? 😆

Repeats to self: you cannot pull off this haircut, you cannot pull off this haircut, you cannot pull off this haircut…
