VS Angels Revive Millennial Side Part Trend

The iconic Victoria's Secret runway show witnessed the return of voluminous Bombshell blowouts, a signature style brought to life by legendary hairdresser Guido Palau. Models prepared backstage with rollers, ensuring bouncy, voluminous waves that defined the show's aesthetic. Amidst the excitement of original Angels gracing the runway, a nostalgic beauty trend re-emerged: the deep side part. This hairstyle, synonymous with early 2000s fashion and past Victoria's Secret shows, was adopted by over a dozen models.

Performers also embraced the look, with Megan Thee Stallion sporting a sultry, side-swept bang and Tate McRae showcasing golden waves that added movement to her performance. The show's styling directly addresses the ongoing debate between center and side parts, a trend largely favored by Gen Z who believe it offers a more youthful appearance. However, the Victoria's Secret Angels demonstrated that a side-parted blowout, meant to be touched and tousled, offers a dynamic and timeless appeal that center parts often lack due to their structured nature.

While there is no definitively "correct" way to style one's hair, with some models opting for center parts, many others championed the millennial side part. This trend, much like the enduring glamor of the Victoria's Secret show, proves that certain styles possess a timeless quality and continue to define beauty standards.
