Yesterday, a sun-soaked Halsey showed off her new fall hair style, a buzz cut which showed off her Da Vinci-worthy symmetrical features. The image came with the oh-so breezy and very casual caption: “just in time 4 beanie weather.” For the big reveal, she opted for a pearl necklace dotted with hearts and a worn-in T-shirt.
The singer’s fresh buzz was certainly a drastic one. A few days before, she had been showing off the waist-skimming braids that she had been sporting for well over a month now. Her new bald look feels like a breath of fresh air at a time when many people are craving controllable change. Buzz cuts have been having quite a moment amid the pandemic, when salon access is far from guaranteed. For those considering the full chop, Halsey is just the latest celebrity inspiration: Who doesn’t remember a sweat drenched Demi Moore as G.I. Jane doing pull-ups? Or Natalie Portman as a British anarchist in V for Vendetta?
