Every time Bella Hadid makes an appearance, she proves that her style goes beyond clothes; it includes hair, makeup, and the small details that make a big difference. This time, the supermodel brought back the Bumpit, embodying a charming early-millennium touch at the launch of her new fragrance.
With this hairstyle, Bella not only reflects her personal style, but also evokes the early 2000s with a modern style that combines elegance and boldness.
The “bumbeat” is back… from early 2000s childhood to the height of fashion:
The bob was one of the most popular tools in the early 2000s, promising instant, stunning hair volume. Most girls tried it, even though its tiny prongs could sometimes be painful. But Bella Hadid has reinvented this ancient tool with a modern, sleeker twist, making the hairstyle a cult favorite among celebrities and fashionistas.
Bella Hadid’s hairstyle details: softness and perfect volume:
Bella’s hair was styled by celebrity stylist Jacob Schwartz, who was behind her blonde transformation earlier this year. The hair was pulled into a half-up half-do with a slight lift at the crown to add length and height, while a few wispy front strands were left out to frame the face and give natural movement.
What distinguishes this new version of the “bumbeat” is that it is soft and non-rigid, allowing it to move freely and giving the look a sense of fluidity and comfort, unlike the old version, which was sometimes characterized by rigidity.
fashion stars welcome the “bumbeat”…the Y2K trend is back with a bang:
Bella isn’t the only one bringing the bumbeat back into the spotlight. Over the past few years, the style has been sported by stars like Keke Palmer and Nicola Peltz Beckham, while Bella has focused on a larger, more flowing version. This reflects the return of Y2K trends to the fashion world, combining boldness, femininity, and a playful touch. It seems that the new trend is no longer just a luxury for celebrities, but a source of inspiration for fashionistas who want to recreate vintage hairstyles with a modern twist.
The full look: new hair, dress, and perfume:
Bella didn’t stop at her signature hairstyle, but completed her look with a long white dress by Palestinian designer Reem Omi, who shared the story of her relationship with her new fragrance on Instagram. The message here is clear: a return to roots, whether it’s hair roots, family heritage, or memories of the “bumbeat” hairstyle from middle school. The new fragrance, inspired by her family roots, added another dimension to the look, making the event more warm and personal.
Practical tips for applying the modern “bumbeat” at home:
Half-up: Start by pulling the top section of your hair up with a slight lift at the crown to create natural volume
Use a light hold: To set volume without stiffness, use a mousse or light hold spray.
Leave some strands in the front: A few strands on either side of the face add natural movement and softness to the look.
Suitable tools: You can replace the original “bumbeat” by using a slanted comb to create a light curl, or wrapping the hair on a small pillow to achieve similar volume.
Balance with makeup and accessories: The “bob” hairstyle works great with soft makeup and a long dress. You can add dangling earrings or a simple necklace to complete the look.
