Baby Beehive:
From the big screen to the red carpet, the beehive is undergoing a beauty renaissance. In Sofia Coppola’s newly-released Priscilla, the iconic ‘60s silhouette reappears in all its backcombed glory as Cailee Spaeny steps into her titular role, navigating life and a rollercoaster relationship with Elvis. Outside theaters, It Girls are channeling the ‘60s in a sudden resurgence of baby beehives reminiscent of Priscilla’s signature hairstyle—with a twist. -Byrdie
Memphis Glam Aesthetic
Much of Presley’s look took root, pun intended, via the hair and makeup of country and rock singers of the day. Big hair was an absolute mainstay for women in the South in the ‘50s and ‘60s, especially country stars like Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, but teased-up beehives and bouffants also appeared on the Ronettes, the Shangri-Las and the Supremes. -Byrdie
'80s Prom Curls
'80s mall bangs came back, as have numerous other disco-era staples like banana clips, crimped hair, and—possibly the most surprising of them all—the perm which Sydney Sweeney just wore at her '80s prom themed birthday party. - Byrdie
Classic Glamour
"Audreycore" is the next big thing? This trend celebrates Audrey Hepburn's iconic beauty and style, from the Sabrina looks that made the actress and humanitarian synonymous with Givenchy to the Breakfast at Tiffany's LBD-and-tiara ensemble that's sparked countless tributes. - Byrdie
