Saturday November 7, 2026, the Art+Film gala at LACMA, in Los Angeles, offered a veritable parade of hair ideas. Nicole Kidman, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara, Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk and Irina Shayk have drawn the road map for winter: clean roots, lively lengths. What do these looks designed for flashes have in common? They translate surprisingly well into everyday life.
The softened ballerina bun: elegance in five minutes
Nicole Kidman has relaunched a great classic: the perfectly layered, ballet-inspired bun. Its modern touch? A free strand on the side, which breaks the too strict effect and softens the whole.
Want to adopt it? It’s simpler than it seems:
- Smooth the roots to obtain a clean and luminous base;
- Tie the lengths at the nape of the neck, securely in place;
- Leave a few soft strands around the face, for a chic but never stiff result.
An ideal style for an evening, a professional meeting or simply on days when you want to feel impeccable.
Soft blow-drying: movement without the “helmet” effect
Kylie Jenner opted for a blow-dry with airy lengths, which move with every step. The result is polished without being rigid, far from the ultra-flat smoothing of the 2000s. This lightness is also an asset for those who want a flattering, lively and natural effect.
To achieve this at home:
- Dry upside down to add volume to the roots;
- Use a round brush or wide rollers;
- Simply round off the ends, without trying to smooth everything out.
Natural wavy: focus on your texture
Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek and Kim Kardashian preferred natural waves, more or less drawn, which create continuous movement in the hair. The principle: respect the material of your hair, as if the waves had been formed by drying in the open air.
Good reflexes:
- Keep the texture rather than fight it;
- Polish the lengths with a wide iron or undone braids;
- Finish with a light serum for shine, without weighing down the hair.
The side parting: the express gesture that changes everything
Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk and Irina Shayk have brought the side parting back into fashion, sometimes very pronounced, sometimes softer. This small movement is enough to shift the volume and give the impression of fuller hair, even on a very simple cut.
Our tip: draw the part a little further than usual and tuck the other side behind the ear. Glamor effect guaranteed, without any tools.
Up to you
Soft bun, flowing blow-dry, natural wavy or confident side parting: these four trends have one thing in common, that of adapting to all lengths and all schedules, from the daily version to the evening version. Choose the detail that suits you, test it this weekend, and let your hair do the rest.
