Gigi Hadid's Vintage Bob Is Out of a '50s Time Machine

Can we talk about this side part?

This summer, it's all about the '50s beauty aesthetic—and you can't tell me otherwise. Last week, Emily Ratajkowski’s whipped out a headscarf look inspired by Audrey Hepburn and now, Gigi Hadid is doubling down on the vintage vibe with an Old-Hollywood hairstyle that is as chic as it is timeless.

On May 28, the model was pictured in New York City for an event she hosted in collaboration with shoe brand Havaianas. She was appropriately dressed in yellow sandals from the brand, which she paired with a short, bejeweled white dress. Still, what brought the entire ensemble together was the curled bob that she paired with it, which felt like a nod to a classic 1950s housewife aesthetic. A deep side part and a classic behind-the-ear tuck showed off her earrings.

Bob haircuts have become one of the most popular hairstyles over the past few years, thanks to celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Julianne Moore championing the trend. More recently, the c-nty little bob (thank you, Leslie Bibb, for putting this super-short chop on the map) has been a jumping off point for the versatile short hair trend.

While extensions have been my protective style of choice this summer, I've dabbled with bobs over the past few years and have a handful of styling tricks up my sleeve. If you want to recreate Hadid’s look, see below for the products I like to keep on hand.
