Gigi Hadid’s New Matte Black Bob Sets the Tone for 2026 Style
Gigi Hadid is known for experimenting with various hair colors while staying within familiar territory; honey blonde, platinum, and brunette. Now, she’s switching things up with her darkest hair color yet. Along with her hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, the model styled a matte black bob, predicted to be among 2026’s trendy hairstyles.
The new hairstyle was revealed in an Instagram post shared by Giannetos on January 8. In the images, Hadid is seen wearing a jet-black bob or what the stylist called a “matte black mini bob”, with a silky, shiny finish. It appeared the look may have been created for a Maybelline shoot, it’s still unclear whether the change is permanent.

The bob had flipped-out ends and a deep side part, styled close to the face. Giannetos told Allure that he called the color “matte black” because it doesn’t have any red undertones. He described the look as chic, modern and new, noting that it can be worn tucked neatly behind the ears or with some pieces left to frame the face.

Hadid was last seen wearing her signature blonde shade in December, when she was photographed on the set of a Super Bowl commercial in New York City. The last time she switched her appearance was in early 2025, when she showed up with a silver-sheened bob at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre event.

With Bella Hadid also changing her hair after years of dark brunette hair, it seems both sisters are embracing a new look. Known for sticking to particular beauty lanes, the siblings appear to be more open to experimenting this year. Whether permanent or not, Gigi’s matte black bob feels like a great way to start 2026.

Kate Middleton Debuts Blonder Hair and a Sun-Kissed Glow in Scotland
Kate Middleton may have found her summer hair color. The Princess of Wales was spotted with noticeably blonder hair and a sun-kissed glow as she joined Prince William and their children for church in Scotland.
On August 23, Kate was photographed in a car with Prince William, who was driving, as they made their way to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral. The couple’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were also with them. The family is currently spending part of their summer at Balmoral, the royal family’s traditional retreat in the Scottish Highlands.

She wore her hair in loose, undone waves, with blonde highlights. The new hair color was paired with a white high-neck blouse, a grey blazer, a dark pillbox-style hat and gold drop earrings. The look had a slightly vintage feel, especially with the ruffled collar peeking out from underneath the blazer.
This is not the first time Kate has moved away from her usual darker hair. Her color has gradually become lighter over the past year, with honey and bronde tones appearing in her hair before this latest, noticeably blonder look.

King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other members of the family, were also present for the church service at Crathie Kirk. The church is regularly attended by the royal family when they are staying at Balmoral.
Aside from Kate’s new look, this appearance also comes days after news broke that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to move back to the UK with their children, Archie and Lilibet. The children are expected to begin school in Britain in September, although the Sussexes are not expected to return as working royals.

Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties in 2020, and their strained relationship with William became more public in 2021 following the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey and their Harry & Meghan Netflix docuseries.
A source said the Prince and Princess of Wales are “very concerned” about the return of the Harry and Meghan because they could seek a “half in, half out” arrangement similar to the model Queen Elizabeth vetoed at the Sandringham Summit in 2020. The source added that while King Charles is happy to have Harry back in Britain, the breakdown of trust remains an issue for William.
Harry’s return could also give the brothers an opportunity to repair their relationship. One source described it as the “best opportunity” they have had to reconcile.

Margaret Qualley Just Made Barefoot Sandals Red-Carpet Ready in Chanel
Who would have thought flats could be worn on the red carpet, especially ones that are barely there. Margaret Qualley just proved that they can by wearing a pair of unconventional Chanel shoes to the London premiere of her upcoming movie, The Dog Stars, on August 20.

The unusual footwear featured only a heel cap, with two ankle straps wrapped around Qualley’s feet and the Chanel logo placed on the back. The design left most of her feet exposed, showing off her freshly painted black toenails. The actress paired the shoes with a black Chanel V-neck dress covered in circle-shaped fringe.

The shoes first appeared on the runway during Chanel’s Cruise 2027 show in Biarritz on April 28. Designed by Matthieu Blazy, the unusual footwear was one of the more talked-about pieces from the collection. According to Chanel, these particular shoes were designed to almost “look like jewelry,” but were never made available on the Chanel website.
The actress has been a longtime ambassador for the French fashion house and walked in its shows in 2021 and 2024. She also wore a head-to-toe Chanel look for her 2023 wedding to Jack Antonoff, from whom she separated in July.

Qualley was joined on the red carpet by her The Dog Stars co-star Jacob Elordi. The film is an adaptation of Peter Heller’s 2012 novel of the same name and follows Hig, a young pilot living in a post-apocalyptic world after a flu wipes out most of the population. A mysterious radio transmission eventually pushes him to leave his isolated home in search of hope and other survivors.
The film is directed by Ridley Scott and written by Mark L. Smith. Other stars include Josh Brolin, Allison Janney, Guy Pearce and Benedict Wong, while the dog actor Rak Jasper also appeared at the premiere. The Dog Stars is set to hit theaters on August 28.

Kardashian captioned the post “Somewhere over the rainbow,” and it led with the couple walking arm in arm along the beach as the sun set behind them. Hamilton wore black swim trunks, while Kardashian chose a shimmering lime-green swimsuit cover-up.
Another photo included a mirror selfie, where Hamilton stood behind Kim with one hand placed around her waist in a grey shirt and bucket hat, while she posed in a pink Gucci bikini top layered with a matching long-sleeve bolero, oversized sunglasses and a pink bandana. In a separate video shared in the same carousel, the reality star revealed the rest of the outfit, which included a pair of baggy white mesh shorts.

Hamilton also shared his own collection of photos from the getaway. In one image, the Formula 1 driver was seen shirtless in black swim trunks, a black baseball cap and sunglasses while wrapping his arms around Kardashian, who wore a pink string bikini top paired with a yellow-and-orange wrap skirt decorated with sparkling details. His post also included snaps from game nights with friends, beach walks, surfing adventures and several scenic views of the island.
Kardashian and Hamilton first sparked dating rumors earlier this year after they were spotted together in Paris. Since then, the couple have continued to support each other publicly. In June, Kardashian attended the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, where Hamilton addressed their relationship. “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support,” he said during a press conference.

Their Hawaii getaway comes just weeks after a source told Entertainment Tonight that the relationship had become increasingly serious, adding that Hamilton sees a future with Kardashian.
