Dare we say that 2022 is shaping up to be the year of the "jellyfish" haircut [2]? Gwen Stefani [3] is the latest celebrity to be spotted in the divisive style, which was accentuated by a darker, more dramatic color [4].
Stefani revealed the new look by hairstylist Sami Knight [5] on Instagram, and her version of the cut is even edgier than the original trend. For starters, Stefani opted for a black color. Instead of only getting a bowl cut [6] at the top of her head and a mullet [7] toward the bottom — two key components of the jellyfish style — Stefani added blunt-cut bangs [8], too. Not only is this a creative take on an already very bold haircut, but it's proof that adding your own touches to a look always pays off.
While Stefani's version of the look is most likely a wig, she isn't the only celebrity fan of the jellyfish cut. Nicole Kidman [9], Kerry Washington [10], and Joan Smalls have been spotted with the hairstyle. If a jellyfish cut feels too dramatic for your taste, additional haircuts like the "bixie [11]" and the "octopus [12]" also made their rounds this year, so you have options should you want to welcome the new year with a different vibe. Take a closer look at Stefani's hair below.
