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.

How to follow NWSL players this summer. Plus: A jubilant Euro 2025 host

Full Time Newsletter ⚽| This is 's weekly women's soccer newsletter. Sign up here to receive Full Time directly in your inbox. As a Shel Silverstein poem starts: 'When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop.' But what do you do when the light turns green with the silhouette of your favorite football queen? Keep reading to find out. Emily Olsen here with Meg Linehan and Tamerra Griffin — welcome to Full Time! Advertisement Summer Soccerfest NWSL players go abroad We are in the thick of the European Championship, with an entire round of the group stage gone. It has not disappointed, but we are just getting started. NWSL fans need not fret too much over the summer break, because several of the league's players are traversing the globe with their national teams. The Euros kicked off July 2, the Women's Africa Cup of Nations on July 5 and Copa America Femenina starts Friday. Eighteen NWSL players are enjoying a European summer, with 11 of 16 nations in the Euros using talent from the American league. That's triple the NWSL players who competed in the tournament in 2022. Advertisement WAFCON features eight NWSL players representing three different countries: Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia. The players in that tournament are competing for an increased winner's prize of $1 million, double what it was in 2022. In Ecuador, Copa América Femenina features 11 NWSL players representing three countries: Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. And yes, one of those players is the unretired, ageless wonder Marta. You can read about all 37 players and how to watch them in Tamerra and Melanie's rundown. Top moments of the Euros Twenty-four games in 12 days is a lot to keep track of. Luckily, we have a team of reporters and a Slack channel full of chatter to catch you up. Here are just a few of our favorite Euros moments: Advertisement 💬 Netherlands striker Vivianne Miedema let out a guttural roar and pointed to the sky after scoring her 100th goal for the country, joining her teammates to make the sign 'Viv 100' with their fingers afterward. 💬 After absorbing England's front-footedness at the start of their game, France wingers Delphine Cascarino and Sandy Baltimore outpaced England's backline. Marie-Antoinette Katoto is a rather stoic player, but the broad smile on her face as her teammates piled onto her after scoring the opening goal made clear how special the moment was as France defeated England 2-1. 💬 Earlier today, Portugal and Italy kept the fight alive in Group B with a hard-fought 1-1 draw. It featured a golazo from Italy's all-time leading scorer Cristiana Girelli, 35, a disallowed Portugal goal and a late equalizer from Diana Gomes. It's not over yet for the group topped by Spain and Italy for now. WAFCON trio of goals Women's AFCON only officially got underway Saturday, but three NWSL players have already scored in pretty banger-ific fashion. Here's Tamerra's take on the first few games: Advertisement 'Reigning NWSL Championship MVP Barbra Banda scored 58 seconds into Zambia's opening game against Morocco. Twenty-six minutes later, Banda was in vintage form, collecting the ball at midfield with her chest while absorbing pressure and playing a deliciously timed ball through to Bay FC striker Racheal Kundanandji, who slid it cleanly to the back of the net. 'Morocco weren't to be counted out, though, and rallied from behind to level the score to 2-2 by game's end. 'On Sunday, the Bay contingent kept rolling. Six-time African Women's Player of the Year and 'agba baller' Asisat Oshoala opened the scoring account for Nigeria's Super Falcons with a flick of her head off a free kick.' Meg's Corner: The hostess with the mostest I can't be the only one tuning into the Euros from home, sighing wistfully at all that beautiful b-roll of picturesque towns with towering mountains in the background, wishing I were on the ground, ready to complain about the summer heat and gorge myself on live tournament football and Swiss chocolate. Advertisement Despite the distance, the afternoon games on the East Coast have thoroughly entertained, especially Switzerland's 2-0 victory over Iceland, which has now kept the host country's dreams of reaching the knockouts for the first time alive. To earn it, they'll have to face off against Finland — arguably the best team in Group A so far — on Thursday. And for all the questions about Switzerland hosting this tournament and what it may mean for the country in terms of legacy, there can be no doubt that the locals have shown their loyalty. Swiss supporters turned up in the thousands for the fan walk to the match in Bern, along with another 2,000 Icelandic fans, setting a new record for the largest fan walk in the tournament's history. (Just look at this sea of red.) 'You really change a country if you host it properly,' former Switzerland Football Association head of women's football Tatjana Haenni told , who saw purpose in building a strategy without relying on Switzerland's results. The last two Euro hosts went on to win it all; Switzerland's expectations are nowhere near that. But Sunday's win may help provide a path for Switzerland to prove itself as a footballing nation and a host country with a proper atmosphere and a plan for the future of the women's game. 🎧 From Basel to Zurich, 'Full Time Euros' and its panel of experts, takes you inside Euro 2025 from Switzerland. Advertisement Need to Know Lily Yohannes lands in Lyon U.S. women's national team midfielder Lily Yohannes officially signed with OL Lyonnes today. We previously reported the agreement between Ajax and Lyonnes over the 18-year-old on July 1. The deal runs through 2028. She will play for new head coach Jonathan Giraldez, who most recently led the Washington Spirit in NWSL. Both clubs are owned by businesswoman Michele Kang. She joins fellow USWNT midfielder Korbin Albert, who signed with the club last week from Paris Saint-Germain, fullback Ashley Lawrence from Chelsea, former Barcelona winger Ingrid Engen, winger Jule Brand from Wolfsburg and striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto from PSG. Advertisement Read more about Yohannes and her growing career here. Women's soccer remembers Diogo Jota Another moment that will last from this Euros was Portugal's first game against Spain after the tragic news of Diogo Jota's death. Before the match, a placard was unfurled in the stands that read, 'You took the name of Portugal beyond borders. Now it's our turn to raise your name.' The banner honored former Liverpool and Portugal forward, Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 26, who passed away following a car crash in the early hours of Thursday in Spain. Jota had just married his long-time girlfriend 10 days earlier. Advertisement Every Euro 2025 game has since observed a moment of silence for the brothers. Around the world, players have taken to mimicking Jota's famous video game celebration to honor the Premier League champion. During Nigeria's 3-0 win over Tunisia in WAFCON, former Liverpool player Rinsola Babajide used the celebration after scoring the team's second goal. What to Watch Summer tournaments galore With so many games going on, we can't tell you to watch all of them, but these tournaments are capable of surprise bangers like Portugal-Italy and Spain-Belgium proved today. 📺 England vs. Netherlands England have their backs against the wall, while the Netherlands are coming off the high of beating Wales and seeing Miedema reach a century of goals. It's a must-win for both teams. Advertisement 📺 Zambia vs. Senegal You'll have to get a second screen, but this matchup has quite the firepower with Senegal coming off a 4-0 win over DR Congo and Zambia looking to build momentum from a closely contested 2-2 draw with Morocco. We know Banda can score. The question is just how many. 📺 Ecuador vs. Uruguay While Sunday's game between Brazil and Venezuela might be more intriguing on the field, this one has a few strong storylines to follow. Ecuador, the hosts, face a Uruguay team that reportedly refused to train, protesting their federation and demanding better conditions. Full Time First Looks A moment for Wales: Euro 2025 is Wales Women's first major tournament. Although the Netherlands spoiled the party, it was a major milestone for the nation, which played in front of just five people in 2021. Megan was there to capture the singing, tears and even smiles. Advertisement Closer review: England forward Alessia Russo's opening goal against France was disallowed for a marginal offside ruling on Beth Mead. It was a decision England's head coach described as a 'huge surprise' — so what exactly happened, and why didn't the goal stand? explains. Light the way: As Meg mentioned, Switzerland has fully embraced the Euros this summer, breaking records off the field and finding success on it. That passion goes all the way up to the traffic lights. In Basel, where the final will take place, officials installed 12 alternate pedestrian crossing lights that feature a footballer kicking a ball when on green. 📫 Love Full Time?

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Was Met with a Standing Ovation from His Fellow Inmates After Court Verdict

Sean "Diddy" Combs received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates when he returned to prison after being acquitted of the most serious charges against him, according to the lead attorney on his defense team The music mogul was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering — charges that could have resulted in life in prison — on July 2 Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in the split verdictSean "Diddy" Combs was greeted with a standing ovation by his fellow inmates upon returning to prison after receiving an acquittal for the most serious charges against him, according to one of his attorneys. On Wednesday, July 2, Combs, 55, was officially acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering — charges that could have led to life in prison had he been convicted. The rapper's lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told PEOPLE that Combs' fellow inmates viewed the acquittal as a sign of hope. 'They all said, 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,' ' Agnifilo said. Agnifilo went on to describe his client's overall mental and emotional state, explaining that he typically speaks with Combs four or five times a day. 'He's doing okay,' Agnifilo told PEOPLE, adding that Combs 'realizes he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.' 'He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them," the attorney continued. 'You can't cover them up.' While Combs was not convicted of the most serious charges against him, he was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in the split verdict. This means he could face up to 20 years in prison if he is sentenced to consecutive maximum prison terms. The mogul — who has been in jail since September 2024 — was denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian during the July 2 court date and will therefore have to remain in custody at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center until his sentencing on Oct. 3. Over the course of the trial, which began in May, prosecutors called 34 witnesses over a total of 29 days of testimony. Among them was Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, Combs' ex, with whom he was in a relationship for 11 years. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Sign up for for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases. Prosecutors sought to prove that Ventura, 38, had been coerced into participating in "freak offs," which were elaborate sex performances with male sex workers. Combs' attorneys argued throughout the trial that the sexual encounters had been consensual. They introduced several exhibits, including text messages, into evidence intended to reinforce that argument. Though Combs was acquitted on the most serious counts against him, he still faces several dozen lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct, meaning his legal troubles are far from over.

AI video becomes more convincing, rattling creative industry

Gone are the days of six-fingered hands or distorted faces -- AI-generated video is becoming increasingly convincing, attracting Hollywood, artists, and advertisers, while shaking the foundations of the creative industry. To measure the progress of AI video, you need only look at Will Smith eating spaghetti. Since 2023, this unlikely sequence -- entirely fabricated -- has become a technological benchmark for the industry. Two years ago, the actor appeared blurry, his eyes too far apart, his forehead exaggeratedly protruding, his movements jerky, and the spaghetti didn't even reach his mouth. The version published a few weeks ago by a user of Google's Veo 3 platform showed no apparent flaws whatsoever. "Every week, sometimes every day, a different one comes out that's even more stunning than the next," said Elizabeth Strickler, a professor at Georgia State University. Between Luma Labs' Dream Machine launched in June 2024, OpenAI's Sora in December, Runway AI's Gen-4 in March 2025, and Veo 3 in May, the sector has crossed several milestones in just a few months. Runway has signed deals with Lionsgate studio and AMC Networks television group. Lionsgate vice president Michael Burns told New York Magazine about the possibility of using artificial intelligence to generate animated, family-friendly versions from films like the "John Wick" or "Hunger Games" franchises, rather than creating entirely new projects. "Some use it for storyboarding or previsualization" -- steps that come before filming -- "others for visual effects or inserts," said Jamie Umpherson, Runway's creative director. Burns gave the example of a script for which Lionsgate has to decide whether to shoot a scene or not. To help make that decision, they can now create a 10-second clip "with 10,000 soldiers in a snowstorm." That kind of pre-visualization would have cost millions before. In October, the first AI feature film was released -- "Where the Robots Grow" -- an animated film without anything resembling live action footage. For Alejandro Matamala Ortiz, Runway's co-founder, an AI-generated feature film is not the end goal, but a way of demonstrating to a production team that "this is possible." - 'Resistance everywhere' - Still, some see an opportunity. In March, startup Staircase Studio made waves by announcing plans to produce seven to eight films per year using AI for less than $500,000 each, while ensuring it would rely on unionized professionals wherever possible. "The market is there," said Andrew White, co-founder of small production house Indie Studios. People "don't want to talk about how it's made," White pointed out. "That's inside baseball. People want to enjoy the movie because of the movie." But White himself refuses to adopt the technology, considering that using AI would compromise his creative process. Jamie Umpherson argues that AI allows creators to stick closer to their artistic vision than ever before, since it enables unlimited revisions, unlike the traditional system constrained by costs. "I see resistance everywhere" to this movement, observed Georgia State's Strickler. This is particularly true among her students, who are concerned about AI's massive energy and water consumption as well as the use of original works to train models, not to mention the social impact. But refusing to accept the shift is "kind of like having a business without having the internet," she said. "You can try for a little while." In 2023, the American actors' union SAG-AFTRA secured concessions on the use of their image through AI. Strickler sees AI diminishing Hollywood's role as the arbiter of creation and taste, instead allowing more artists and creators to reach a significant audience. Runway's founders, who are as much trained artists as they are computer scientists, have gained an edge over their AI video rivals in film, television, and advertising. But they're already looking further ahead, considering expansion into augmented reality and virtual reality -- for example creating a metaverse where films could be shot. "The most exciting applications aren't necessarily the ones that we have in mind," said Umpherson. "The ultimate goal is to see what artists do with technology." tu/arp/aks/mlm
