International hairstylists share their expert take on the standout hairstyles seen among the guests at Taylor Swift's wedding, highlighting the biggest trends and the looks set to inspire clients in salons everywhere.
Andy Heasman, International Creative Director at RUSH Hair said: “Gracie Abrams’ Italian Crop stole the show for me – it was the perfect blend of authority and femininity. Somewhere between a bob and a pixie cut, the ‘Italian Crop’ has the hair swept delicately off the face to balance the blunt length in the back. This androgynous cut commands attention in any room, flattering Gracie’s oval face shape and its natural slenderness. When it comes to the Italian Crop, it’s all about the styling – plenty of styling gel to achieve that pristinely suave, almost wet look. You want the hair off the face as much as possible to keep the style looking neat – so brush the hair back from the face and tuck behind the ears like Gracie’s stylist has done Use straighteners to flick the lengths of the hair for added volume and a texturising spray to add definition and dimension.”
Hiro Kudo, Creative Director of KIKU Salon said: “We’ve been seeing micro mini bobs popping up everywhere – from the red carpet, to walking through our salon doors, to Taylor Swift’s wedding! A sharp, sculpted silhouette, the micro mini bob is the perfect balance between striking and bold with a feminine touch. This style focuses on precise lines, which naturally enhances softer face shapes, but this style can easily be altered for a more delicate finish. Even through the micro mini bob’s roots are based on precision and sharp lines, this cut looks fabulous when left wavy, as seen on Jessica Chastain. The ‘micro mini bob’ is both simultaneously on-trend and timeless, appealing to clients who want to feel chic without being overly styled.”
Dan Spiller, JOICO EMEA Color Ambassador said: “Gigi Hadid’s ‘soft serve’ hair was all over my feed this weekend. The styling and colour work together harmoniously to create a timeless finish. Her golden, glistening blonde is beaming with health. Lighter ribbons are blended throughout a darker blonde base for a sun-kissed effect where the sun would naturally hit the hair. The colour is amplified by the styling of Gigi’s loose curls, which cascaded down her collarbones, with an abundance of volume and movement at the end of the lengths! Her highlights were placed throughout the hair for that glowing, glossy, luxurious effect – this was by far of one my favourite hair looks!”
Chris Grimley, Owner of Fusion Hair Co and Textured Hair Specialistsaid: “Zoë’s hair feels intentionally undone but controlled. Rather than chasing perfect definition or maximum volume, it leans into a soft, lived-in texture that compliments the minimal, slightly edgy dress she sported. Instead of a uniform curl definition, there’s a mix of looser bends and natural separation, reading more editorial than perfectly sculpted curls! The result feels effortless and is a great reminder that textured hair can look elevated without being overly manipulated.”
Alex Thaddeus, Owner of Alex Thaddeus Hairdressing said: “Selena’s beautifully crafted bob is a statement of confidence, elegance and timeless style. We have seen her sporting this look at several events recently and I am loving it! Every detail of this look is carefully designed to frame the face effortlessly with precise lines that create structure and soft waves that make a statement. It’s a style that reminds us that simplicity and attention to detail exudes confidence and grace, creating a style that feels timeless and luxurious.”
Tracey Ann Smith, Creative Director at MOOD said: “Tate McRae’s look for Taylor and Travis’ wedding was simply glowing. Her champagne-gold dress was complimented by her luscious, long, honey blonde hair. Her colour, which infuses golden ribbons and caramel pieces, is contrasted with creamy face framing that adds further brightness to her colour, frames her face and brings the attention into her stunning facial features, including her eyes and cheekbones. The MOOD Highlift Blondes and Moody Toners are essential for creating these beautiful blonde hues, achieving colour luminosity and longevity. Tate’s hair looked the epitome of luxe and healthy, with it being styled smooth with soft cascading ends. A heated styling iron would have been used to gently tong the ends of her hair for a more relaxed, effortless wave before the hair was lightly combed out for added softness. A hair oil like MOOD Intense Repair Oil is great to finish this kind of look, taming any frizz and flyaways for a further smooth, polished finish and high shine.”
Diana Carson, Salon Director at Rainbow Room International Uddingston said: Camila Cabello always gives off cool girly energy and that was no different for Taylor and Travis’ wedding of the year. Camila has great hair, and she pulls of a variety of hair looks, from more undone, effortless styles, to more polished, smoother styles and curly, voluminous styles. For the wedding, she wore her hair styled into blow-out like curls, with volume and soft height at the top at the crown. Her hair would have been gently teased underneath, before the hair was styled smooth on top, and the rest of her hair tonged into big barrel like curls with a curling wand. The curls may also have been pinned into place and left to cool and set for a bouncier finish. With this hairstyle, the products you use are key. The Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ Dust It Mattifying Powder is a great product to apply to the teased hair at the crown before smoothing over for added volume and the Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS Volume Up Volume Booster Spray is a great finishing product to mist through the curls and gently scrunching in to enhance them and give the style further body and bounce.
