Slip Bob hair trend returns, inspired by 90s supermodels

The 'Slip Bob' is emerging as a major hair trend for 2026, drawing heavy inspiration from the minimalist aesthetic of 1990s supermodels. The style is characterized by a shoulder-length, airy, and effortless look that mimics the fluidity of a silk slip dress.

Technically, the cut features nearly invisible layers that provide movement without creating harsh, blunt lines. This soft texture allows the hair to fall naturally over the shoulders. While 90s icons such as Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Gwyneth Paltrow often wore the style with side parts or bangs, modern iterations seen on celebrities like Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber frequently feature a middle part.

Experts note that the trend's appeal lies in its 'understated glamour' and ease of maintenance, offering a timeless and polished appearance that requires minimal styling.
