Celebrity Hair Trends Summer 2023: Red Carpet Inspired Styles

It will come as no surprise to learn that the runway is no longer the only source of inspiration when it comes to each season’s new trends. Social media - particularly TikTok - has democratized the industry, and when you add celebrity looks on the red carpet, we’re getting some serious summer hairspiration right now. These are the hottest hair trends that will take you from a steamy commute in the city to carefree weekends on the beach.

THE BLUNT BOB

The classic bob has received a sleek makeover in 2023 with the rise of the blunt bob. This edgy yet elegant cut is all about precision and simplicity, offering a strong and confident look for those who dare to try it. It works with most hair textures and face shapes, making it a versatile choice for women of all ages. Pair it with a striking hair color, and you've got yourself a head-turning statement as worn by everyone from Hailey Bieber and Salome Mory to Cara Delevingne, Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Stone.

CATCH THE WAVES

We can probably blame a combination of August humidity and a Daisy Jones hangover for the tousled, 1970s rocker styling we’re seeing so much of this summer. Think mullet, shag, and curtain bangs and you’ll be on the right lines,. Crucially, it’s all about embracing your hair’s natural texture. Let it dry naturally (with a little help from your favorite styling products) and you’ll be looking like Riley Keough in no time.

LOUD AND PROUD

Not all of us have the time or budget for a full-on 90s blowout, but there’s a trend for the kind of volume we last saw on the 1990s supermodels, and we’re kind of going crazy for it. It’s a whole Cindy Crawford on the runway, or Brigitte Bardot frolicking in the south of France thing. Oh la la!

THE BUTTERFLY CUT

It’s being called the haircut of the year, thanks to its voluminous, face-framing layers that look good on pretty much anyone. Celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Sabrina Carpenter, Hailee Steinfield, Sydney Sweeney, and Priyanka Chopra have all rocked the look in the last few months. Whether your hair is long and luscious, or shoulder-length and growing out, this Farrah Fawcett upgrade is going to be EVERYWHERE this summer.

NEO-PUNK PIXIE

Reviving the punk spirit of the '80s, the neo-punk pixie is making waves in the hair world. This bold and rebellious cut combines short, choppy layers with shaved sections or intricate patterns, allowing you to showcase your fearless attitude. We’re being inspired by Florence Pugh’s new blonde buzzcut, Kristen Stewart’s shaggy style and Halle Berry’s chic silver crop - but this is perfect for anyone brave enough to break free from conventional hairstyles.

SHINE, BABY, SHINE!

We’re talking lush, super-healthy hair, whatever the length. That means avoiding split ends by getting a regular cut, sleeping on silk pillows, applying serums and masques, and basically treating your hair like a spoiled princess. You know she’s worth it, when the end results are going to look like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

AU NATURALE

Whether you’re loving your natural curls - like Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabrielle Union-Wade - or accepting your glorious gray hair - a la Salma Hayek and Andie MacDowell - if this season is about anything, it’s about leaning into your God-given beauty. Look in the mirror. You’re absolutely gorgeous!
