It's official: Taylor Russell has chopped her hair off in favour of a transformative pixie cut
With her insouciant yet trailblazing style, immaculate red carpet dressing and signature short hair, Taylor Russell has quietly cemented herself as this generation's ultimate cool girl. And in the latest noteworthy move to prove just that, the Bones and All star has cut said signature hair into a new and even shorter style. Enter: The ultra-short pixie.
Benching her trademark bob – which has taken on countless iterations of late, from a sleek hydro bob to side-parted waves – the actor just debuted what could be her shortest hairstyle to date.
After her stage debut in The Effect at London's The National Theatre and following on from her public split with Harry Styles, Taylor has been somewhat MIA on her socials this summer. However, a rare Instagram post just short of a day or two ago changed that, where she revealed to the world a fresh, curly and super-short crop.
Of course, it's not the first time that Taylor has been partial to a pixie crop. So popular is her hairstyle that the hashtag 'Taylor Russell pixie' has over 50 million views on TikTok with fans and users on the app attempting to recreate her signature cut. It is, however, her first pixie of its kind. Both androgynous and soft, her new pixie cut showcases her natural curly hair texture and comes complete with an ultra-short, tousled micro fringe.
J'adore!
Popularised by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Linda Evangelista and defined by a short layered cut, usually shorter on the sides than the top, pixie cuts have been enjoying a moment in the spotlight this year, shedding their previous connotations of being 'too brave' or 'too high-maintenance' and superseding the bob as an easier, more effortless hairstyle that sings summer.
And Taylor isn't the only one eschewing her bob in favour of a pixie cut: Florence Pugh, Jourdan Dunn, and Emily Ratajkowski are just a few of the famous faces who have also experimented with an ever-shorter crop!
So, perhaps it's the growing fatigue of the ubiquitous bob or the first signs of sunshine on the horizon but pixie cuts could well take over as the crop of the summer – and ofc, we're so here for it! Take note, people.
