OLD-HOLLYWOOD UPDOS ARE BACK As awards shows and fancy parties once again took place in real life, stars leaned hard into the classics with a procession of foreverelegant sweeping updos.

DYEING FOR OLIVIA RODRIGO’S MUSIC VIDEO HAIR Rodrigo released three massive songs this year, and their accompanying videos, all with radically diff erent looks, set off countless trends.

LIL NAS X

Mullets Make a Comeback
