The ‘Older Sister Side Part' Is This Summer's Nostalgia-Hitting Hair Trend

The ‘Older Sister Side Part' Is This Summer's Nostalgia-Hitting Hair Trend

Vogue2 days ago
Long shunned and banished to the early aughts, the so-called 'Older Sister Side Part' hairstyle is so, so back. We called it as a key beauty trend this season from the catwalks for spring summer 2025 and beyond: Saint Laurent's side parts were brought with serious business in both cropped forms and with flowing, shiny waves by hair stylist Duffy, paired with statement suits. At Chanel's 2026 Cruise presentation, lead hair stylist Anthony Turner coiffed some gleaming, razor-sharp side parts ready for Mediterranean lounging. At the 2025 Met Gala, Hailey Bieber opted to side part her effortless waves, while everyone from Sabrina Carpenter to Bella Hadid has been playing around with their part.
And while the ongoing clean girl trend has favored the symmetry of a middle part, the side parting offers something that can be both an elevated detail and a playful subversion of form. Regardless: Millennials, rejoice. The 'Older Sister Side Part' is inspired, of course, by the cool, effortless silhouette of the eldest sibling, and it's continuing its comeback in various forms. Here's how you can keep styling it in a way that doesn't feel like a tired out nostalgia hit.
Why the 'The Older Sister Side Part' is hot right now
A big sister cultivates a nonchalant aura, luxuriating in the wisdom of her rank and the freedom of the elder sister's status. The resulting hair look? It's preppy and strong. Separate the hair with a parting that's slightly off to the side—straight or more blurred, it's up to you—which creates a totally new look without having to reach for the scissors or hair dye.
Adopted by some of cinema's greatest women, we're looking to Mean Girls's Regina George, The Devil Wears Prada's number one assistant Emily, and Trinity of the Matrix megaverse. These are side parts that guarantee charisma and confidence, emulating the assertive energy of an older sister.

'I like to recall that one of the most important and internationally acclaimed Italian auteurs made his debut right here at the Biennale di Venezia in 2001 with his first film, One Man Up, in my early years as the artistic director.' He continued: 'The relationship with the Venice Film Festival became consolidated over the years with the presentation out of competition of the first episodes in the series The Young Pope (seasons one and two) and, above all, with The Hand of God which, in 2021, won the Silver Lion-Grand Jury Prize.' 'Paolo Sorrentino's return in competition comes with a film destined to leave its mark for its great originality and powerful relevance to the present time,' he added, 'which the audiences of the Venice Film Festival will have the pleasure of discovering on opening night.'

William ‘Demanding Something Be Done' About Camilla's Health as Charles' ‘Final Wish' Is For Him to Save Her

Queen Camilla's health is apparently at the top of the conversation for Prince William and King Charles. The heir has reportedly talked extensively about the state of Queen Camilla and what happens to her after his father passes. According to RadarOnline, Queen Camilla's drinking habits are the subject that they touch upon the most. 'William is laying down the law and demanding something be done. He's pushing his dad to act,' a source said. The site called her a 'sloppy gin-soaked drunk' after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their royal duties. A royal courtier told the site that William ordered his father 'send Camilla to rehab – or else.'

'William has made it clear that he doesn't love her,' a source dished. 'Charles' final wish to William is to take care of Camilla, and he's willing to carry that out – as long as she isn't getting drunk.'Things have been tense between William and Camilla in recent times. 'Over the years, Camilla has berated Kate for her parenting style, insisting William's wife is raising the future king and his siblings like commoners,' a source said. 'It drove Kate to tears.' RadarOnline also claimed that Camilla's health is on the decline. 'Camilla really is on her last legs – literally. Along with all her other health issues, she can now hardly walk.' A source also told the site that she has a complicated health routine. 'She gets these Sole Bliss shoes made by a company in London shipped into the palace by the truckload as she is trying to cover up her feet deformities on royal engagements,' the source said. 'She has the shoes hand-tooled to cover up the bony looking growths on the sides of her feet and totters around in them trying to pretend like there's nothing wrong.' According to royal writer and associate editor of the Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey, there are now reports that Charles' cancer is incurable. 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she wrote. The comment comes after Prince Harry's urge to reconcile with his family. 'I would love reconciliation with my family…Life is precious,' the Duke of Sussex told the BBC. 'I don't now how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.'
