Inspired by The Queen’s Gambit and Stephanie Seymour, the Hadid sisters have gone auburn in two different ways.
Gigi and Bella Hadid Prove That Red Is the Hair Shade of the Season
The creative burst of fashion month is often accompanied by instantly adoptable—and overall aesthetic-shifting—beauty moments born of the runway. And this season, one of the most eye-catching changes came in a set: The Hadid sisters both switched their natural mane hues for individual variations of scintillating red. First came Gigi Hadid, who marked her new-mom return to the runways with a bright ginger hue, courtesy of Papos Papandrianos, that stole the show at Versace. And today, hairstylist Jenna Perry won Instagram with a capture of Bella Hadid, whose medium-length brunette featured a burnished burgundy finish—just in time for Givenchy. “We pulled an image of Stephanie Seymour from the ’90s as a reference,” says Perry. “Stephanie had soft warm highlights to frame her face and everything else stayed dark. We glossed her hair to a rich brunette and then I balayaged a few highlights around Bella’s face to emulate the warmth of Stephanie’s color.”
For March cover star Gigi, whose naturally bronde mane grew leagues during a pregnancy spent quarantining in the country, a lively wash of red (inspired by The Queen’s Gambit) served as a bold announcement that she was back in the fashion game, and perhaps more aspirational than ever. Bella's Seymour-inspired shift in hue, while more subdued, offered her complexion a shade at once warming, moody, and romantic, a bit of edge ideal for welcoming a new season. The lesson? As we begin our journey into spring and sunnier days, whatever red resonates with you is welcome.
