If you thought curtain bangs [1] were starting to lose steam, allow Beyoncé to prove the trend is still going very strong. The multihyphenate recently introduced a wispy fringe [2] paired with sleek, straight hair in Venice, Italy, where she attended the wedding of Alexandre Arnault and Geraldine Guyot. On Tuesday, she shared snaps [3] of her new haircut — and fabulous wedding-guest outfit [4] — on Instagram, and fans went wild for the effortless style.
According to her hairstylist, Neal Farinah [5], Bey's fresh look was inspired by her iconic "Me, Myself and I" video [6] from almost two decades ago, where she's seen with longer, eye-grazing bangs. While her new fringe is a little shorter and parted into curtains, we appreciate a good reference.
Ahead, get a closer look at the singer's haircut, as well as the inspiration behind the look.
