A big hair transformation is the perfect—and most conventional—way to usher in a new chapter. Just ask actor Taylor Russell, who debuted a new haircut at Loewe’s Casa Seoul today. The 29-year-old has swapped her sculptural bob for something a little shorter and sassier.
Russell unveiled how her dark brown hair has been cropped into a short pixie style on a rare Insta story, but here it is in all it’s shiny, sculpted glory. It’s the perfect style for her face shape: Think extra length on top (emphasizing her natural waves), plus elfin sideburns and nape-grazing length. Styled with a mussed-up, undone look and a micro (really micro) fringe around her hairline, the chop frames Russell’s soft, beautiful features in an understated but seriously cool fashion.
Pixie cuts like Taylor’s are believed to be a difficult style to pull off, as many naturally assume they’re only for the brave. Actually, they’re much easier to execute than you might think, they just need to be adapted according to your face shape. They can suit just about anyone, including those with rounder faces.
While some will suit longer, looser pixie cuts (see how Scarlett Johansson, Zendaya, and Michelle Williams have approached the chop) others will prefer shorter, sharper styles, like those seen on Zoë Kravitz or Charlize Theron. Russell’s gamine look conjures up memories of another iconic pixie cut: that of Audrey Hepburn. Lived-in, natural, and impish, this delicate cut is a winner for summer and beyond.
