Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian West, and More Prove the "I Dream of Jeannie" Hairstyle Is Back
Forget midi ponytails and super-slicked, nape-of-the-neck knots—this summer's most palatable updo is all about buoyancy. Whether worn partially pulled back or entirely tied-up, high-slung sensibilities and a luxuriously extended fallout transform would-be casual moments into glamorous affairs, and call to mind an iconic beauty moment of yesteryear: Barbara Eden's role in '60s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.
Kicked off by Kim Kardashian West at this year's CFDA Awards, the trend was continued by Ciara at the 2018 ESPYs, her interminable mane was slicked at the crown and bound on her head—the base wound around with her own lengths in true jeannie fashion—and softly bent so to swing amply between shoulder blades. After her inaugural elevated pony, KKW adapted the aesthetic for her day-to-day, raking her rumpled raven into half-up styles worthy of a retro go go girl. And yesterday, Jessica Alba took her turn at the of-the-moment look in New York City, her honeyed hair pulled back in a similar method, colored frames and oversize earrings lending to the spirited vibe. Here, three reasons to revisit the throwback sitcom for present tense styling tips.
