Gigi Hadid recently switched up her look by trading in her long hair for a short bob. The supermodel shared the transformation on Instagram on Saturday, March 9, with a video captioned "Dinner and a chop."

The clip showcased Gigi Hadid undergoing a beauty transformation set to Loretta Lynn's song "Act Naturally." This makeover was done by Chris McMillan, the celebrity hairstylist famous for creating Jennifer Aniston's iconic '90s haircut known as "The Rachel."

McMillan took to Instagram on Saturday to share the new cut he gave Gigi, expressing his excitement for the collaboration. He mentioned looking forward to seeing the different styles that hairstylists will create with this fresh haircut.

In the video of Hadid getting her haircut, the camera quickly focuses on her, 28 years old, as she sits while a pair of scissors trims her wet hair just below the back of her neck. After that, the floor is shown with several piles of her blonde hair before the camera switches to a close-up of Hadid eagerly waiting for the final result. McMillan, 58, is seen putting the finishing touches on her hair. The video concludes with Hadid smiling and trying out different poses as she sees her new bob hairstyle slicked back behind her ears in the mirror for the first time.

Chris McMillan shared a post on Instagram. The next day, the fashion icon took a break from a photoshoot for her clothing line, Guest in Residence. She showed off her wavy short hair in a series of sunny snapshots. "sunshine & my new 'do! shooting spring @guestinresidence with loves of mine @patrickta @laurapolko," she wrote alongside the images.

Hadid looked effortlessly chic in the first shot, wearing a gray knit polo top and standing in front of a tree. The following photograph captured her profile as she soaked up the sunshine, dressed in a cardigan, spaghetti strap top, and jeans. In the last pic, her windblown hair brushed across her face as she sported a yellow shirt, pink and maroon striped cardigan, and layered seashell necklaces.

In a 2021 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hadid shared that she no longer spends as much time worrying about her hair and makeup since becoming a mom. This may come as a surprise to some, considering her recent drastic hair change.

"I've simplified my routine to focus on what's essential," she shared with the outlet. "During work, I do more, but when I'm home, I'm fully dedicated to being a mom. I start my day by washing my face, moisturizing, using deodorant, and sometimes adding a fragrance. If I'm short on time, I skip makeup and keep my hair in a bun to avoid pulling it out."

In September 2020, Hadid welcomed her daughter Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. Despite their split a year later, they are committed to coparenting. Recently, Hadid has been linked romantically with Bradley Cooper.

Zayn is not supportive of Bradley and Gigi's relationship, as shared by a source last month. Despite this, Cooper, aged 49, has been a positive influence on Hadid. He is described as "a voice of reason" and offers advice based on his own sobriety and past experiences. Bradley has cautioned Gigi about the importance of distinguishing between a healthy breakup and a toxic one.

Editor's P/S:

Gigi Hadid's recent transformation, embracing a chic short bob, has generated buzz in the fashion world. The supermodel's fresh look showcases her willingness to experiment with her style. Her collaboration with renowned hairstylist Chris McMillan, known for creating iconic '90s hairstyles, adds credibility to her new cut. Hadid's decision to embrace a shorter hairstyle may reflect her evolving priorities as a mother, as she has previously expressed a desire to simplify her beauty routine to focus on her family.

Hadid's hair transformation serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of beauty standards. The acceptance of shorter hairstyles for women challenges traditional perceptions of femininity. Hadid's new bob empowers her to express her individuality and sets an example for others to embrace their own unique styles. It also highlights the influence of celebrity culture on fashion and beauty trends, with Hadid's new look likely to inspire countless others to consider a similar change.
