The Paris couture shows are currently under way, and already two starkly different approaches to the updo have crossed our radar. In one corner, the loose, haphazard twists at Dior, falling gracefully at the nape of the neck with undone wisps and a smattering of bobby pins that telegraph undone urban ease. In the other, the extreme ladylike Chanel hair roll—lovingly dubbed a “croissant” by backstage hairstylist Sam McKnight—which was inspired by a Picasso sculpture and yet channels a certain Star Wars futurism.
These two whimsical proposals have spun off a new iteration of a pressing beauty question: Are you a polished Chanel updo or a mussed-up Dior twist? From an aesthetic standpoint, your choice might be clear—after all, croissants aren’t for everyone—but personality certainly comes into play, too. Whether your preference reveals your love for the practical flat over a high-impact heel, for wash-and-go waves, or for a perfect pin curl, here’s to a charming hair statement that’s tailored to you.
