The Trendiest Hairstyle From the Year You Graduated School
A number of classic hair trends, like bouncy blowouts and stylish cornrows, never go out of style. However, there are a handful of others that we're happy to leave in the past—and more specifically, leave in the '80s. To take a quick trip down memory lane and revisit a few timeless styles worthy of any beauty hall of fame, we've rounded up some of the top styles from the mid-1960s and beyond, worth revisiting and maybe even repeating. Keep scrolling to find the trendiest hairstyles, cuts, and colors Bazaar editors have loved through the decades.Brigitte Bardot's preference for curtain bangs, voluminous waves, and hair bows made a splash in the mid-1960s and remains one of the most popular hairstyles to this day.English model Twiggy's bob with a deep side-part was a signature part of her iconic beauty look.Priscilla Presley's jet-black, glossy bouffant on her wedding day to Elvis Presley is one of the most iconic wedding-day bridal hair looks of all time.Singer Barbara McNair showing off a voluminous and back-combed bob with flipped ends, a hairstyle worn throughout much of the late 1960s.Elizabeth Taylor's bejeweled updo, featuring two hanging braids, marries the primness of the 1960s with a hint of the Bohemian vibe of the 1970s.Goldie Hawn pictured wearing her signature curly curtain bangs and thick face-framing layers in 1970.Jane Fonda's short, shaggy, and punky mullet pictured in 1971.Maureen McCormick's ultra-long and glossy hair as Marcia Brady was copied by similarly blonde women all over the US in the early 1970s.Legendary actress Cicely Tyson made national news when she wore her hair styled in cornrows for her role in the 1972 TV movie Sounder. Her choice is considered a pivotal moment in the cultural history of natural hair.Cher hair is still imitated to this day. The star's preference for ultra-long and silky-smooth hair is considered one of the 1970s' most memorable hairstyles.Joan Jett's black shag haircut defined what it meant to be truly rock 'n roll in the 1970s and 1980s.For the 1976 version of A Star is Born, Barbara Streisand wore her hair styled in short, beautiful ringlets.There's perhaps no style more iconic 1970s than actress Farrah Fawcett's layered blowout.By 1978, Debbie Harry's iconic platinum blonde hair had become a trend that would sweep the country throughout the 1980s.With the disco era in full swing, women were keen on copying singer Donna Summer's gorgeous curly bangs.Beauty icon, model, and singer Grace Jones is known for her distinctive flattop and shaved hairstyles, which epitomized the new wave fashion movement.Princess Diana's shaggy bob hairstyle inspired millions of haircuts worldwide in the early 1980s.A longer take on the shag, Michelle Pfeiffer wore her hair in 1981 styled in layered and wispy bangs.The only thing bigger than the TV show Dynasty in the 1980s was the hair on the show itself.It was all about super-sized hair in the mid-1980s, as seen on supermodel Christie Brinkley.One '80s trend we'd happily leave in the past? Overly-crimped hair. Singer Taylor Dayne is seen here in 1985 with a head full of crimped pieces.Molly Ringwald's curly red bob inspired both haircut and color appointments throughout the 1980s.Madonna probably belongs on this list of famous hairstyles through the years more than once, but this icy platinum and layered bob was career-defining for the singer in the late 1980s.Whitney Houston wore curls that were big, bouncy, and beautiful at the 1988 Grammy Awards.Supermodel Naomi Campbell showcased the chic and graphic appeal of a sleek bob cut in 1989.Julia Roberts wore her famous red curls down and natural for the 1990 Golden Globe awards.Hair in the early '90s was still big, but it was less teased and more natural than it had been in the previous decade. Here, Mariah Carey shows her signature ringlets.Janet Jackson's iconic box braids wouldn't make their film debut in Poetic Justice until the following year, but she wore the stunning style out and about in 1992.Marisa Tomei won her Oscar wearing a classic early 1990s updo: perfectly coiffed curls piled high on the head with face-framing tendrils left out at the front.Drew Barrymore epitomized '90s chic with her flipped bob and snappy clips.The famous (or infamous?) Rachel haircut made its debut in 1995—and asking for layers at your haircut appointment would never be the same.The Spice Girls were in full swing by 1996. Though there was a Spice-inspired hairstyle for everyone, suddenly Baby Spice's pigtails were a style seen everywhere.Sharon Stone's short and shaggy pixie cut was super chic at a movie premiere in 1997.Cameron Diaz wore a retro bob haircut clipped to the side with a pin in 1998.Gwen Stefani's electric-pink hair was a major beauty moment in 1999.Britney Spears brought back the crimped hair trend for a brief moment at the turn of the century.Christina Aguilera went through a wild hair phase during her "Dirrty" and Stripped promo tour. She favored extensions in various shades like black and red, which popped against her signature blonde hair.Halle Berry's big Oscars moment also solidified her layered, wispy pixie cut as one of the most iconic red-carpet hair moments of all time.Charlize Theron's heavy bangs and choppy shoulder-grazing shag haircut were all the rage in 2003.Eva Mendes, pictured here in 2004, looks like the living embodiment of anyone who asked for a haircut with layers in the early 2000s.Side bangs were a major hair moment in the early and mid-aughts. Jessica Simpson is shown here rocking side bangs and a fresh mid-length haircut in 2005.Lindsay Lohan's striking red hair color and preference for voluminous hair extensions were so 2006.Victoria Beckham's angled and sharp bob from 2007 is still inspiring haircuts years after she grew it out.Rihanna's punky short pixie cut with long face-framing layers from 2008 is one of the best modern pixie cuts in the last few years.Lady Gaga has had her fair share of iconic hair moments, but it was her signature hair bow when she broke out onto the scene in 2009 that went immediately viral.Katy Perry's blue wig from her "California Girls" days inspired real women (and men!) to try the shocking shade on their real hair.The year that Kate Middleton became the Duchess of Sussex was also the year that Kate Middleton's blowout became the most-requested hairstyle.Kristen Stewart's bouncy auburn curls were all the rage during the height of the Twilight film series mania.Lauren Conrad embodies the ombré hair trend of 2013 perfectly.Jennifer Lawrence lopped off her hair at the height of her Hunger Games journey, leading to a wave of copycat pixie cuts.The lob trend—that is, long bob—happened gradually over a few years, but once Beyonce gave it her stamp of approval, it suddenly became the must-have haircut of 2015.Though Ariana Grande didn't invent the high pony, she did make it all her own. That's why 2016 was the year of the Ariana Grande ponytail.Glass hair was the biggest trend of 2017 because Kim Kardashian said it was (or rather, her hairstylist Chris Appleton). Essentially, it means hair that's so smooth and shiny it resembles glass.Meghan Markle didn't just give us a royal wedding—she also jump-started the 2018 tendrils trend thanks to her go-to hairstyle.What started as a runway and royal trend trickled into mainstream fashion—hair bows had a major moment in 2019, as seen here on Hailey Bieber at the 2019 Met Gala.A slight departure from the effortless, tousled bun of years past, this sleeker, more refined version of the popular updo was a hair staple in 2020 and beyond. Not only was the style easy to create and quickly elevated any look, but it also carried beauty enthusiasts through the pandemic when salon access was limited.This '90s and 2000s style has a way of resurfacing in both beauty and fashion, as evidenced by the popularity of 2021's braided tendrils trend, seen here on model Jamie Xie. "The tendril trend has always been an easy way to add a little 'razzle-dazzle' to any updo," celebrity stylist and natural hair expert Erinn Courtney previously told Bazaar.The red-tinged cowboy copper hair color trend made a serious splash in 2022, worn by celebrities like Kendall Jenner on and off the catwalk.Unlike the mullet, which is typically shorter in the front and longer in the back, 2023's choppier wolf cut trend featured an abundance of feathered layers for maximum height and volume. Actress Jenna Ortega's notable haircut, seen at the Academy Awards that year, still lives rent-free in our minds.The oversized stretchy headband trend served two main purposes: one, practicality to help keep hair out of your face, and the other, an effortless way to elevate your beauty look from everyday to elevated in minutes. While we've seen celebrities wear these headbands in bright colors or patterns, some, like actress and singer Coco Jones, opt for a seamless, all-black hair accessory instead.Typically created using a hairpin or claw clip, the French twist is having a moment in 2025. Anne Hathaway wore the elegant style on the red carpet, accented with a subtle side part.For more than 150 years, Harper's Bazaar has been the preeminent fashion and beauty resource for women at every age.

Big Mo, the new voice of boxing, wants you to listen – no, really listen
I wanna say this without sounding like a d***,' Kody Mommaerts starts. His job, after all, involves selecting the right words. And though the stakes are lower on a Zoom call with The Independent than when a billion-dollar company entrusts him with a live microphone, the ring announcer still considers his words – and delivery – carefully. In this case, it is all to do with humility, and his concern that an analogy for his career might be misinterpreted as arrogance. 'I used to play video games as a kid,' says Mommaerts, widely known as 'Big Mo'. 'I don't play much anymore, but there was a phrase called 'speedrunning'. 'How quickly can I beat this game?' In a way... I've kind of speedrun announcing. I don't want that to come across as d***ish!' Advertisement It's okay, he's allowed to say it. Firstly, he is just over six months removed from announcing one of the most-watched fights of all time, in Jake Paul's boxing match with Mike Tyson – a bout that played out in front of more than 72,000 fans in Dallas, and more than 60 million households live on Netflix. Secondly, Mommaerts has already ticked off boxing, MMA, bare-knuckle fighting events and more, at an elite level. Thirdly, at 29 years old, he is the youngest MC at the top end of combat sports. And finally (on this taster of a list, at least), he is about to fulfil his dream: announcing at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Although, in a way, Mommaerts has already done it. He can explain that contradiction. 'I've talked about affirmation and visualisation a lot,' says the Denver native. 'I learned it when I was playing college football, but I perfected it while announcing. I would spend so much time on the road with my own thoughts, I would play videos in my mind: 'This is what I'll be wearing, this is what it'll feel like, this is how I'm gonna say Madison Square Garden.' 'I've already lived this in my brain, now I just get to experience it in real life. It's like when I get asked about the Mike Tyson introduction; I've already announced him in my brain. It's reality, so in theory it's more important, but I've already done this.' Still, 'I think [MSG] is gonna be the first moment in my career where I really lean back in my chair, like: 'Holy s***.' I did it a little bit at Paul vs Tyson, but there I almost blacked out because of the adrenaline...' Mommaerts (holding mic) moments before Jake Paul's seismic bout with Mike Tyson (Getty/Netflix) The rest of the world will get to hear Mommaerts's rendition of 'Madisoooon Squuuaaaare Gaaaaaaaaaardeeeeen' on 11 July, when Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano top an all-female card and end the most important rivalry in the history of women's boxing. Their trilogy began at MSG in 2022, when Taylor narrowly beat the Puerto Rican, before the Irish icon did the same when they clashed on the Paul-Tyson undercard. Taylor and Serrano, the first women's boxers to earn seven-figure paydays, will return to the scene of their first fight and the platform of their second: Netflix, which is showing its belief in Mommaerts again. Advertisement 'I came into this industry with zero broadcast, TV, boxing, or professional speaking experience,' he reflects. 'I'd publicly spoken, but at a collegiate level, because I was young. So [a few years ago], this 25-year-old kid with no background was holding a live microphone for billion-dollar corporations, who had sunk millions of dollars into an event. I understood the apprehension of using me. When I cold-called all the various promoters and networks, I understood them saying: 'Yeah, we're not gonna use you, we're gonna use the guy we've been using for 40 years.' Mommaerts introducing two-weight boxing world champion Natasha Jonas (Lawrence Lustig / BOXXER) 'There was a vast difference between me and every other MC, so I had to be perfect, polished, professional. They might have been looking for any reason to say: 'This is why we didn't hire the kid, I told you this was a bad idea.'' Mommaerts credits his professionalism with arguably being more important than his voice, but what of that voice? Trying to describe it is a punishing endeavour for a writer. There is a deepness to it, but also a clarity and crispness – a precision. To hear Mommaerts speak is to feel like you're trying on the most expensive set of headphones on the shelves, with the bass and treble dialled to perfection. Advertisement But to hear Mommaerts speak is one thing; to really listen to what he has to say is another. And listening to him now, a few years into an electric run atop the business, are there questions over where Big Mo starts and Kody Mommaerts ends? 'I don't want it to sound like Big Mo is this character – that's not it,' Mommaerts says, but: 'I have to dial things up. My job is very charisma-driven, it's very extraversion. It's camera, flash, smile, announcing, crowd, media, press conference. It's so much, and I'm in front of it all. And I don't mean that in a boastful way, as if I'm the star of the show, but I do have to be almost this character in a sense. I have to be this larger-than-life person to present in the way I want. I have to dial things up. 'I've never actually shared this before: this job has changed my social battery. What a lot of people don't understand is: beyond just being an MC, and the whole point of being an MC is establishing authority and being vocal, I'm also 6ft 7in. I'm a big guy, I stand out already, and a large component of my job is very visual. Networks like Sky and Netflix like putting me on camera, which is great, but it's weird: it's just changed how I look at being in front of people. Now, when I'm outside of my job, I don't always love being in front of a lot of people. I try to keep it more low-key. Mommaerts is quickly becoming the voice of boxing, while also working on other combat sports (Lawrence Lustig / BOXXER) 'Before the job, when I would go out, I would be this real social person, life of the party, blah blah blah. Now, when I go out, I'm kind of more of the guy on the wall. I'm a little bit more reserved. I still like to have fun, but I like to kind of keep to myself. So, the job has changed me a little bit – not in a bad way, but I've noticed it.' Advertisement There is little that the man with the mic doesn't notice; while his God-given voice took him a long way, his attention to detail has been a key part of his success, too. So, if anyone can channel change into something unequivocally advantageous, it is Mommaerts.
