Sorry, Gen Z—This Millennial Hair Trend Was All Over the Oscars Red Carpet
Last night, the A-listers took to the red carpet to celebrate the 96th annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. There were (and still are) so many stunning beauty looks to unpack, from chic bob hairstyles seen on the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney to the caramel nail colour that Margot Robbie wore. However, I can't stop thinking about how many people rocked a side parting on the red carpet.
Yep, that's right, this millennial hair trend is popular once more, and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure all of you Gen Z readers will be sad to say goodbye to the middle parting, but according to last night's ceremony, the side part is back in a big way this spring. In fact, it's made multiple appearances on so many runways and red carpets this season, proving that it is well and truly on trend for 2024.
Don't believe me? I've rounded up all of the chicest side-part hairstyles spotted on the Oscars red carpet, so keep scrolling, and just try to keep that middle parting…
