Considering just how extreme and exciting celebrity hair changes were last year, you’d think stars would tone it down for 2024, at least for a while. But for talented creators like Shay Mitchell, there’s no time for slow and steady change. — Dramatic new hairstyles and colors are turning heads now, the ultimate antidote to the doom and gloom of late winter that hits us every January. Mitchell aptly captioned her big reveal post, “New year, new hair,” debuting a pixie cut dyed a rich jet black and chopped into voluminous layers. Even though the Béis founder has a penchant for big, unexpected changes, judging by the Instagram comments section, this is one of his pivots that no one expected.
In the high glam photoshoot conducted by Photographer Sarah Crick, Mitchell posed in a blazer, rectangular sunglasses, jeans, and her new hair swept to the side in a bouffant, edgy, almost ’80s fashion. It’s a pretty cool style on its own, but it’s made even better by the obvious similarities between Mitchell’s fresh style and Kris Jenner’s iconic above-the-ear crop.
Striking styles were created by celebrities hair artist ricky fraser, the mind behind Mitchell’s coolest beauty moment ever. But despite her Instagram caption, only time will tell if her new pixie is real or just a better wig. She’s fooled fans before – in the final weeks of 2023, she sported some very convincing red hair. birdie She took part in a photoshoot, but the next day her signature espresso brown hue reappeared.
What’s especially interesting about Mitchell’s cut is how it all fits into Kris Jenner’s ongoing beauty trends. Her uniquely shaped style, a cross between a true pixie and a pageboy, has been popping up more and more often lately, and comparisons to the legendary Mamajer are almost always drawn. Kylie Jenner pays explicit homage to her mother’s birthday party (immortalized in Hulu video) kardashian family), similar crops have appeared on other stars like Cardi B.
But really, doesn’t Mitchell’s new hair just cement how timeless and universal super-short haircuts are? By the end of 2024, we’ll be seeing even more stylish Let’s hope celebrities meet Chris.
