Bella Hadid Turns the Extra Long Bob Into Milan's First Major Street Style Moment

Bella Hadid was spotted today in Milan having exchanged her short brunette bob for a medium-length iteration born on the season's runways.

Bella Hadid is kicking off Milan Fashion Week with a reinvigorated beauty look. After an early afternoon fitting, Hadid stepped into Italy's evening light with a new visibly longer version of her signature bob, which she paired with tangerine frames, sterling hoops, and rose-kissed lips and cheeks. The makeover comes nearly a year after the initial debut of her scene-stealing, shoulder-grazing chop at last year's Met Gala, the style inching ever shorter as the months wore on, offering an insouciant backdrop to her unending roster of '90s-inspired accessories.

But, after test-driving a Jackie O-inspired bouffant bob on yesterday's Moschino runway last night, Hadid's hair quietly gained a few inches—courtesy, one imagines, of a subtle set of extensions—just in time for this morning's Fendi show, where she wore it parted deeply, tucked behind the ears, and falling neatly down her back. By taking the look from the runway to the streets, Hadid may be jumpstarting a collective shift toward a new above-the-neck directive. Forget down-to-there hair and shake-out-ready pixies: midi-length cuts are chic, manageable, and primed for a fashion week renaissance.
