    Ariana Grande

    Ariana Grande debuted adorable new baby bangs via Instagram story, and we're calling it now: This is the coolest new way to wear the millennial side bangs. Classical, nostalgic, but still super chic, it's little Audrey Hepburn, a little bit MySpace, and very much iconic. Yes, and?

    Ice Spice

    Ice Spice—and her bold red hair—can truly do no wrong. Case in point? The rapper going from rocking super modern waist-length mermaid waves to the retro yet classic Old Hollywood bob, and somehow fits both aesthetics perfectly. The girl's a beauty chameleon (to the tune of "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2").

    Drew Barrymore

    Barrymore leaned into the nostalgia factor and brought back the iconic shade of blonde—as well as the style and length—she wore at the premiere of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle for The Drew Barrymore Show.

    Once Barrymore saw her “after” reveal in the mirror, she gasped, exclaiming, “You just put a time machine in me!” ” to which Appleton stated what we’re all thinking: "She’s still got it.” She’s more than still got it, clearly.

    Rihanna

    Rihanna's honey blonde hair color and mob wife aesthetic are going strong, but she's no longer channeling Carmela Soprano's hair length. In fact, Rihanna's most recent style, which she debuted out in Los Angeles in April, is the longest hair we've seen on her in years!

    Zoe Duetsch

    Deutch transformed her hair for an upcoming role in Richard Linklater’s latest film, where she’ll be portraying actor Jean Seberg. Celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham created her soft platinum dye job using Redken, while hair stylist Bridget Brager designed the cropped cut.

    “We wanted to find the perfect shade for Zoey’s upcoming role,” Cunningham said in a press release. “Our work was cut out for us, as most of the photos we could find of Jean were in black-and-white—but we settled on a soft, golden blonde color that really captures Jean’s essence.”

    Angelina Jolie

    Does Angie own a time machine? Because her new bright blonde hair is rather reminiscent of the shade she wore as Lisa in Girl, Interrupted. If I didn’t know this photo was taken in New York City in February 2024, I wouldn’t know the difference. We love a self-referential throwback!

    Lana Del Rey

    At the Grammy Awards, Del Rey debuted a dark shade of chocolate brown styled into a voluminous blowout and beehive bangs. She topped it off with an oversized retro bow, because of course she did.

    Del Rey’s brunette shade and subsequent shine were courtesy of Olaplex global ambassador and celebrity colorist Jacob Schwartz. “Lana has fabulous dream hair and so much of it. She never uses extensions. Her hair just does what you tell it to do,” says Schwartz. “I do her roots pretty frequently, but we don’t always color the bottom. Instead, the ends will end up looking lighter, almost naturally.”
