Lady Di’s haircut, first trend of 2021?

The fourth season of ‘The Crown’ has only confirmed that Diana of Wales was, is and will be one of the great icons of fashion. Although more than 23 years have passed since her death, Lady Di continues to inspire women around the world, including Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, wives of her children William and Enrique, respectively, who always pay tribute to her with their outfits.

In this part of the series focused on the fleeting courtship of a very young Diana Spencer and Prince Charles, and in their first years of marriage. A time when the princess conquered with garments that are currently in trend, such as the bobble neck, and with other items that have resurfaced strongly as a result of the success of the Netflix production, such as the Warm & Wonderful sheep print sweater or the Barbour jacket.

Another detail of Diana of Wales’ style that could become the first trend of 2021 is the haircut that the princess wore during the 1980s. In her early days as a member of the British royal family, Spencer opted for a casual hairstyle , with layers and very rowdy that already caused a sensation at the time among the English.

During those years Lady Di wore a ‘bob chop’, a cut with which she sent a message about her personality. As recently assured Linda Wells, founding editor of ‘Allure’ who closely followed the princess’s style when working on ‘Vogue’: “One of the things that was so associated with Diana was this idea of ​​being hidden in plain sight; her hair was a big part of that, ”he explained.

The then wife of the heir to the crown did not modify her cut, at the height of the jaw, which she wore with bangs and layers to achieve a mane with movement. “It seems her hair was her way of holding on to herself. We can overdo these things, but at the same time, I think women really express themselves with their hairstyles, especially when they can’t express themselves in other ways,” said the editor.

After the success of several clothes that Diana made fashionable, it would not be surprising that the ‘bob chop’ cut was also one of the great beauty trends of next year for several reasons: the first, because of the furor that the mother continues to cause of Princes William and Henry of England; the second, because it is a variation of the ‘bob’, one of the cuts that has triumphed for years for its comfort and versatility, and the third, because it is one of the hairstyles that rejuvenates the most.
