Bella Hadid's Layered Butterfly Cut is Universally Glamorous

Some haircuts never go out of style. A layered Farrah Fawcett-esque chop—also known as “The Butterfly Cut” is one of them. Supermodel Bella Hadid is the latest convert to the retro style.

Hadid dropped in on the pop-up Orebella Ornament Shop in Texas (sadly, only open for the weekend), which was stocked with her own brand of fragrances. Arriving with cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos, she debuted a new, bouncy butterfly cut.

It may look effortless, but mastering this style requires some attention to detail. “Focusing on framing the face, short layers are cut in at the front, and they get longer towards the back,” Jake Wanstall, hairstylist at Larry King, previously shared with Vogue. The hairstyle features a “shattered baseline,” which is achieved with a razor for added texture.

Iterations of the butterfly cut, from longer versions to chin-grazing layered bobs, have been very popular over the past two years. A-listers Selena Gomez, Jenna Ortega and Hadid’s own sister, Gigi, have each dipped a toe into the trend.
