The '90s Tendril Trend Strikes Again With Dua Lipa's Nostalgic Grammys Hairstyle

27/01/2020 - 02:55 PM

The '90s called and wants to congratulate Dua Lipa on her beauty look at the 2020 Grammy Awards [1].

The "Don't Start Now" singer stepped out for the award show on Sunday night wearing "piecey" hair [2] — a style that ruled the SAG Awards last week — and she's just proved that it's here to stay. Hairstylist Chris Appleton [3] (whose regular clients includes Kim Kardashian [4], Jennifer Lopez [5], and Ariana Grande [6]) pulled Lipa's hair back into a sleek topknot (complete with a porcupine spike!) and left two large tendrils of hair out in a middle part.

Although the "piecey" hairstyle gave us major nostalgia, Appleton made it feel fresh by doing two things: making sure the topknot was completely slicked back (with no flyaways) and cutting the chunky pieces of hair into a graduated angle. This added definition and framed the face, making the style feel modern. Appleton even posted the caption "Grammys 1999" alongside Lipa's look, giving a callout to the era that inspired him.

Lipa's chunky blond highlights and dark brunette roots also gave a nod to the '90s, which made the face-framing tendrils stand out even more. Ahead, get a closer look at Lipa's flashback hair moment — you might just find yourself wanting to try it out.
