Megan Fox is a true chameleon when it comes to hair trends. Our former coverstar has rocked everything from tinkerbell bangs and waist-length waves to her latest bright pink hair – but her latest hairstyle is sure to divide fans, particularly those belonging to different generations.
Let's rewind quick: remember back in February 2021 when Gen-Z cancelled side partings? Apparently the only way to wear your hair in 2022 is with a middle parting. Anything remotely side-swept? Sorry, it means you're old, pal. For us millennials who grew up during the MySpace era, wearing your hair huuugely swept to the side – while writing ‘rawr’ on our canvas shoes and wearing fingerless gloves year-round – was very much the ‘in’ thing. Thanks to endless cans of Elnett hairspray and the cheapest hair gel we could get our hands on in Boots, our hair basically defied gravity. It was quite impressive, actually.
So, back to the present day, and it's good news for us oldies, as Megan Fox has officially un-cancelled side partings. Anyone born after the mid-90s, look away now.
Makeup artist Ash Kholm posted the below behind-the-scenes clip on 27th July, which is actually a throwback to a shoot Megan a few weeks back with her go-to hair stylist Dimitris Giannetos. Her hair is shorter than usual with bouncy curls and, of course, that noticeably side-swept parting.
“All hands on deck for finishing touches,” Ash shared on TikTok, while at the time, Dimitris posted: "MEGAN 💥💥💥 Short-ER and bouncy for stunning #MEGANFOX."
Okay, it may not be the super side-swept, gravity-defying parting of our scene kid days, but it's certainly a nostalgic antidote to 2022's obsession with middle partings. And if there's one thing we're sure of, it's that Meg can pull off any damn hairstyle under the sun.
