Zendaya Nailed the 1960s Hair Flip Like No One Else Can—See Photos

During Fashion Week, the beauty looks created backstage are often just as eye-catching as the clothing on the runway. Each season we eagerly tune in to see them all, and the looks in the front row are usually just as enviable. One prime example:  Zendaya’s entire ensemble at the Valentino fall-winter 2022–2023 show in Paris. The Euphoria star looked stunning in a hot-pink pantsuit, a classic 1960s-inspired hair flip, and black winged eyeliner. 

Despite how simple this look may appear to be, the Emmy winner still managed to make it extraordinary. Her honey-blonde-highlighted lob was straightened and parted on the side, with the very front pieces of hair tucked behind her ears on both sides. The flipped ends add a retro touch to the hairstyle and give the hair some serious bounce. 

Her smoky, inky eye complements her sleek hair. The actor’s eyes were lined with black eyeliner that was smoked out along the lower lash line. The liner on her eyelids was shaped into long, sharp wings that extend to the tails of her eyebrows. Pink blush was dusted on her cheeks to match her hot-pink ensemble, and lips were coated with a neutral lip gloss. 

Leave it to Zendaya to make a classic hair trend look anything but basic; we’d expect no less from the beauty icon. This isn’t the first time she’s switched up her hair look recently: toward the end of last year, she showed off freshly colored auburn hair and a lob haircut, and at the very end of February, that reddish hue was replaced with honey-blonde highlights. Perhaps 2022 will bring even more haircuts and shade shifting from the star? As usual, we’ll just be here eagerly waiting to see what she comes up with next.
