It's official: The stacked bob is back—but not in the way that you might know it. Google the hair trend and you'll be met with images of the "dated" style, which has exaggerated long layers at the front that ascend into heavily layered shorter pieces towards the back of the head, and this does give off 2010 vibes. However, I'm here to inform you that the stacked bob has had a modern update for 2024. Scroll down for the proof.

So how exactly is this type of bob haircut different this time around? Firstly, we're seeing a far softer graduation in those long-to-short layers, and this style is cropping up in a whole range of hair lengths. Chloë Grace Moretz's shoulder-skimming bob above has longer face-framing pieces, whilst Sabrina Elba has elegantly tucked those longer layers behind her ears in the cropped hairstyle below. You might also see this cut described as the graduated bob or micro bob, as hairstylist Tom Smith coins it.

"Shrinking normal bob lengths up close to the nape of the neck, the 'micro bob' is a great option for those willing to push the limits of the bob," he says. He explains that the hair is cut right up to the lowest part of the hairline and often styled in a head-hugging, sleek way. "This bob is a very high-fashion yet extremely practical option for those with straight to wavy hair," he says.

"Often styled with the hair tucked behind one or both ears, this is the natural progression of the 'contour bob' we saw a lot of during the spring, which encourages the shadows of a lifted cheekbone," says Smith. "It’s likely the micro bob will keep shrinking over the season, so those who typically wear a bob will enjoy the practicality of less hair to worry about over the summer." Stylish and practical? Yes please.

Stacked Bob Haircut Ideas

A full visor fringe looks so chic paired with those short, stacked layers towards the back of the neck.

Locs look great in this graduated bob, which compliments the jawline.

Proof that the side parting is timeless, Ciara's stacked bob has plenty of volume and bounce.

Halle Berry's stacked bob beautifully lets those curls shine.

Those longer sections at the front can be swept back behind the ears for an elegant look (and to show off statement earrings).

This graduated bob on Emma Willis has been styled for a rounded, concave effect.

Sabrina Elba has also sported a variation of the stacked bob with a choppy fringe, and we're into it.

The stacked bob also works with a swooping side fringe and flicky layers.

Let's just skip spring and head straight into summer, shall we? Because unless you're taking a long Easter holiday—and if that's the case, I'm jealous—then the real fun comes when the beach is warm enough for minidresses, denim shorts and, of course, swimsuits. Looking ahead to the sunny season, I found a handful of celeb-approved trends that are sure to be popular come June. 

For example, since the cut-out trend shows no signs of slowing down, it's no surprise that it also translates into swimwear. Dua Lipa recently Instagrammed her one-piece swimsuit with a cutout at the waist, so I found plenty of similar options for you to choose from. Scroll down to shop 2022 swimsuit trends inspired by Hailey Bieber, Camila Cabello, Ciara and more.

2. Red One-Piece

3. Classic Triangle Bikini

4. Low-Back One-Piece

5. Leopard Bikini

Next, Kate Middleton wore the unexpected flat-shoe trend Anna Wintour also loves. 

American designers always have one event circled on the calendar in thick red pen: the annual CFDA Fashion Awards, which honours the fashion industry's top talent. This year's red carpet was filled to the brim with well-dressed celebrities like Zendaya, Ciara, host Emily Blunt, and Anya Taylor-Joy, who came with their fashion A-game to support the nominees. Ashley Olsen was not just a guest but a nominee as well—The Row was a contender for the top accessory designer award but ultimately lost to Telfar. 

"The 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards mark the much-anticipated in-person return to our biggest fundraiser for CFDA’s scholarship programmes,” CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said in a statement. "We’re also incredibly pleased to see several talented names among the nominees for the first time. American fashion is experiencing a renewed energy, and these designers play a significant role in the future trajectory of our industry.”

If you haven’t gotten a haircut since The Before Times, you’re not alone. Thanks to our year-plus in isolation, longer hair is trending, and although salons are finally back in full swing (yay!), there’s a divide between those who want to keep their growth and those who are ready for a dramatic change. "It’s been interesting, and we’re actually seeing some people being more daring and favouring a shorter style,” says Ryan Trygstad, celebrity stylist and co-founder of Mark Ryan Salon in New York City. But the hard truth is that some hairstyles may require more than one haircut after all that time away. And for others, the longer hair has become the new normal.

If you are sticking with the length for the meantime (*raises hand*), the great news is that long hair has tons of versatility. "We’re absolutely loving shaggy layers for long hair,” says Trygstad. But don’t feel like you have to curl your hair to show off every layer. "It feels like we’re moving away from beachy waves and more towards early ’90s styles that are sleek and shiny,” says the stylist. But to achieve that glossy, healthy look, you'll need a couple of products to help.

Trygstad loves Ariana Grande’s signature high ponytail "for pool parties or going out.”

J.Lo’s longer-than-long hair isn’t for the low-maintenance among us, but go big or go home, right?

Ciara’s Instagram is a treasure trove of long-hair inspiration. Case in point: her recent sun-kissed locs.

Gigi Hadid recently dyed her hair a Queen’s Gambit–inspired shade of red and showed off the look with a 2000s-inspired style.

Sarah Jessica Parker is showing off her curls and the SATC reboot is coming—we're into all of it.

Zendaya put her own twist on "Cher hair” at the 2021 Oscars with her ultra-long, easy waves.

Proof Trygstad is correct in his prediction? Even Sofía Vergara, known for her signature waves, is sporting pin-straight hair as of late.

Considering the new layered take on the shag cut? Look no further than Cara Delevingne’s cute style.

When in doubt, a high ponytail like Shay Mitchell's never fails.

Long, flowing curls are a forever favourite. We love how Joan Smalls kept hers in place with a pretty headband.

The middle part may be the official part of Gen Z, but Anya Taylor-Joy kept the side part very much alive with her glam look at the Golden Globes.

For a cool twist on the high ponytail, go for a wrapped braid like Riley Keough’s.

If you want a major change but don’t want to lose your length, remember bangs are always an option. Kacey Musgraves’s blunt style is unexpected and of-the-moment.

For medium-long haircuts, angled layers like Amanda Seyfried’s are subtler.

When it comes to hair highlights, much of the conversation centres around blonde tones, but we're of the opinion that the effects of highlights look just as impressive on brunette tresses. Yes, they're often more subtle, but at a time where the beauty world is shifting its focus to more natural and timeless looks – think no-makeup makeup – hair trends are following suit. With the power to make your hair look even more multi-dimensional and glossy, brunette highlights are in high-demand right now, especially as salons begin to resume their full services. And when you take a look at the gorgeous examples we've collated below, it's not hard to see why. 

We went through Instagram with a fine-tooth comb, searching for the celebrities and influencers who showcase brunette highlights at their finest. From light caramel wisps to chunky mahogany strips, these brunette highlights prove that sometimes the smallest tweaks can make the chicest difference. So, whether you're looking to add depth or simply brighten your hair for the remainder summer, these are the brunette highlights images you'll want to take with you to the hairdresser as stylish reference points. 

Aimee Song creates a gorgeous glow around her face with the addition of fawn-coloured highlights at the ends of her hair. 

The shine, the cut, the graduating highlights—the term "hair goals" comes to mind. 

Ali's caramel highlights give her hair depth and dimension, putting her friend's mane to shame. 

Highlights needn't be reserved for those with long hair, as Alyssa's bouncy crop proves. 

With shades of deep bronze on-top, Aude-Julie creates a cool colour contrast to her stunning long hair.

Anna's poker-straight hair allows us too see the full effects of her lighter ombré highlights. 

Caitlin's shades of golden brown enhance the rich brown colour of her fringe and roots. 

Celebrity hairstylist Chad Wood works his brunette highlights magic on actress, Olivia Munn.

Ciara's highlights may be bright, but the fact she's layered them underneath her darker tresses makes for a very cool alternative to the highlight norm. 

Claire's sophisticated centre-parting makes her light brunette highlights look even more striking.

Amaka's curls look incredible with her mahogany lengths and darker roots. 

Débora's cherry-brown highlights look beautiful set against her skin tone. 

Eni's chestnut highlights are perfectly blended with her dark brown lengths to create a beautiful finish. 

Erica's combination of caramel and coffee highlights is as delicious as it sounds. 

We always knew Jasmine had the face of an angel, so it makes sense that her hair is equally heavenly. 

Krista's honey-brown highlights look particularly incredible when they're tousled. 

Emily's dark copper lengths create a gorgeous glow around her face and décolletage. 

This ombré interpretation of brunette highlights has been executed perfectly. 

The balayage technique is the perfect way to wear brunette highlights. 

The blended brunette highlights in this shot make for a solid summer style.

Marianne gives her glossy crop even more dimension with copper tones woven throughout. 

Zendaya's amazing curls look even more stunning thanks to the blend of chestnut and copper hues. 

Another gorgeous example of how lighter brunette ends can lift your hair look.

The wet look hairstyle is the belt bag of the beauty world; it makes an appearance season after season, you’re a bit timid and unsure how to style it, but when it’s done right, it completes your look. Often seen as a wildcard amongst popular hair trends, wet hair styled outside of the norm can be deemed unruly and frankly, sloppy. Fortunately, the wet look has been flawlessly executed enough times, there are plenty of how-to tips to be considered.

From Miley Cyrus and Zendaya to the Hadids, celebrities have mastered how to rock the wet hair look with an effortlessness ease looking polished and refined. Enhance your natural curls or opt for a sleek ‘do, there is a handful of specific techniques to try. While wet hair’s popular appearance is on the red carpet and rather glamorous, the hairstyle can be translated into an everyday look. The ultimate benefit? Going with an easy wet hair look not only looks stylishly cool, but relieves damaged hair of hot tools. Discover the below hairstyle ideas on how to manage wet hair while also looking sophisticated. 

Bella does the silky slick back the best. Layer a considerable amount of gel to the crown of your hair to smooth it back leaving your ends loose and free. 

Tame wet curls by parting your hair down the middle and securing one side behind the ear. The simplicity of the one ear tuck elevates this look from soaked curls to sleek wet hair. 

Embrace Sofia's incredibly glossy style by playing with this half-up pony. Add extra product at the roots to create the ultimate wet illusion. 

Accessorise the gelled-down look with fashionable hair pins. This look easily translates from day-to-night and also gives the wet hairstyle a more playful look. 

Go glam by side sweeping your hair to one side while maintaining a faint curl. Polish your look with an old Hollywood glamour curl in your bang. 

This gives me major early 2000's vibe when everyone was obsessed with the art of scrunching. It saved time and honestly, looked professionally done—a la Ashley Graham here. 

Don't want to over-do the gel? Loosely work the gel into your middle part creating the wet illusion without completely weighing your hair down. 

As the queen of wet hair, Kim nails this 'do by opting for thicker, fuller curls rather than loose beach waves. By alluding to a fullness in her wet curls, Kim's hair is far from unruly. Scroll threw a few of Kim's hair must-have products to create the ultimate sheen to her hair. 

Proof that your hair does not need to be down to pull off wet hair. First, comb gel through your straight middle part smoothing down your hair to each side. Complete the look by pulling your hair back into a low bun. Does it get any easier? 

This is a simpler wet look for Selena, however, she reveals that your hair doesn't have to look drenched in order to dabble with the trend. Opt for more of a damp look by gently wetting your natural hair texture and simply, letting it go. 

Like Bella, heavily gel your bangs back and allow your ends to be loose. Take a cue from Zendaya and go for curl to dress up your look into the evening.

Another glossy ponytail to flaunt wet hair. Try calming the ponytail with a fashionable braid and complete this hairstyle with a final pass of oil to add shine. 

Short hair? No problem. Strategically comb your bangs back, creating defined lines on the sides. By doing so, you create a tamed wet look. Pro tip: gently brush out a few fly aways in the front as Kaia does to loosen the look. 

Adding a headband is always a good idea. It's an easy trick to update wet curly hair. 

Another master of wet hair, Miley has been a true stan of the style. Her look is easy to execute, yet still refined. Gel your natural hair until it begins to look wet. Once you achieve the wet look, make sure to go back through and make sure there are no fly-aways. 

Ditch the middle part and slick your hair all the way back to create that 'middle school swim team hair.' Wear this wet hair look like Sofia in a cozy sweatshirt or dress it up with gold hoops and sequined number and you're ready for a night out. 

Though similar to Kaia's other wet hairstyle, if you have short hair, sometimes the smallest tweaks can make the biggest difference. Here, Kaia's bangs are softly gelled to the side, making for a softer wet style.

Lingerie dressing is a tricky trend to try: On the one hand, you’re taking literal inspiration from the boudoir, and on the other, you don’t want to look like you've just rolled out of bed. But with powerhouse brands like Balenciaga, Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen deeming this sultry style a must for spring, there's no better time than the present to master it. Here's the good news: Fashionable ladies like Ciara and Karlie Kloss are here to show you the way. Plus, there's a range of great pieces, from your classic slip dress to your lacy bralette, sure to suit any style and personality. Keep reading for all the goods…

Ciara had the right idea last month at the Givenchy show when she opted for a balance of provocative lace cami against silk-satin wide-leg trousers and a matching duster—precisely how designer Riccardo Tisci envisaged this on the S/S 16 runway. 

Karlie Kloss gave us a dose of trousseau-chic in February at The Brit Awards, wearing a white, tiered lace top from the Alexander McQueen S/S 16 runway. She added further gothic vibes by layering cool body jewelry on top and toned down the sassy factor by wearing sneakers and loose-fit trousers.

At the Vanity Fair Oscar party, model Lily Aldridge turned heads in Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture. Here she gives a nod to bondage themes, with the upper portion of her dress featuring a cutout mesh bralette, and the bottom portion an elegant asymmetric ruffled skirt. This is the wilder side of the trend and best left for after-dark.

Kylie Jenner stunned in a bias-cut dress at Alexander Wang’s A/W 16 show a few weeks ago, grounding lace-detail bustier and slip with the sportier look of her army-green bomber jacket, also by Wang.

Model Shanina Shaik attended the opening of the new Barneys flagship store in New York City in a black plunging neckline that was perfectly placed over her red triangle bra. She elevated the entire ensemble by slipping into a pair of strappy heels.

At the Elle Style Awards, Toni Garrn suited up via white trousers and a fringed blazer. To ramp up the trend-factor, she chose a delicate bra instead a blouse.

Emma Roberts sat front row at the H&M show during Paris Fashion Week wearing a Fleur du Mal Rose Lace Balconette Bra underneath her semi-sheer top. The mix of evening fabrics and demure coverage make this peekaboo look polished.

Los Angeles tends to be largely overlooked when it comes to its contributions to the fashion community--but not last night! Daily Front Row hosted the first-ever Fashion Los Angeles Awards (which the publication has playfully dubbed the FLAs), honouring a number of designers and other style influencers for their contributions to Hollywood fashion.

Moschino's Jeremy Scott received the Womenswear Designer of the Year award, Calvin Klein's Italo Zuccheli won for menswear, Christian Louboutin won for shoes, Gigi Hadid took home the Model of the Year award, and many more. Some of Hollywood's brightest fashion stars showed up to honour their cohorts, and they lit up the red carpet with some fabulous wardrobe choices.
