Selena Gomez Debuts New ’70s-inspired Shag Haircut


Who says Selena Gomez can’t pull off a shag?

The 32-year-old actress signified the end of her clean-girl era over the weekend, debuting a new ’70s-inspired haircut comprised of messy layers and forehead fringe on Instagram. In the selfie, she flashed an open-mouthed smile at the camera; her dark brown tresses tangled and curled around her face. The caption read: “I would, but I’d regret it, then get it redone so I simply wont #bangs.”

Unlike the even-trimmed micro bangs seen on Pamela Anderson and Anna Wintour, Gomez purposefully took a disheveled approach. Her front pieces were, instead, chopped every which way, at all different lengths like she’d done it herself. Yet, the former Disney Channel star tapped celebrity hair artist Orlando Pita to achieve the look.

Harking back to haircut trends of the past, the bedhead style, namely the shag was extremely popular during the ’70s. Storied actresses and beloved musicians such as Jane Fonda, Farrah Fawcett, Mick Jagger and Joan Jett boasted the hairdo in more ways than one. Some kept the body of their hair full, while others thinned their locks with lots of layers. Gomez’s new shag falls somewhere in the middle.

The “Only Murders in the Building” lead has kept her hair short for some time now. In fact, she led the charge in the mod bob haircut movement, which has now won over a slew of female celebrities, including Sofia Richie Grainge, Jenna Bush Hager and Keke Palmer. However, up until now, she had been letting her bob grow past the typical shoulder-length parameter.

For this hair reveal, Gomez played with ’60s-inspired makeup using brown tones to carve abstract designs across her lids. A medium brown shadow was used to draw a line from the outer corners of her eyes underneath her brow bone like inverse wings. Meanwhile, her cheeks were dusted in peach-colored blush, her lips were painted in a coral hue and her brows were brushed up and matted down.

Honoring her beauty business’ fourth annual Mental Health Summit, the makeup mogul wore light blue, wide-legged denim pants with a flare silhouette and a white blazer with exaggerated shoulder accents. She partnered the clothing with pointy white pumps.
