Heidi Klum surprises Instagram followers with a new hairstyle. Attentive fans of the model might recognize the cut—sleek, layered, and with bangs—as something she’s sported before. More than two decades ago, she wore a similar style.

A week ago at the “Germany’s Next Topmodel” finale, Heidi Klum surprised with a wild updo and dramatic smokey eyes, reminiscent of the party attire of the late 2000s. Now, she has unveiled a completely new style on Instagram—though for die-hard Heidi fans, the look might not be so new.

Heidi Klum Shows Off New Hairstyle

“Snip Snap.” Accompanied by these words, Heidi Klum posted a new video on Instagram, initially showing herself without makeup and with her usual hairstyle. But within seconds, the model appears with gray smokey eyes, nude lips, and perfectly styled hair. The highlight: a hairdresser with scissors was clearly involved, as Heidi’s hair is now noticeably layered, and instead of a middle part and curtain bangs, she sports a fringed bang. There’s also a change in color, with her blonde shade now cooler.

Heidi Returns to an Old Cut

Since the start of her modeling career in 1992, we’ve seen Heidi Klum with a variety of hairstyles. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. Sometimes platinum blonde and sometimes a bit darker. She never committed to one style of bangs, varying them multiple times over the years. Heidi has proven: she can pull off anything!

Anyone who has followed Heidi for over three decades will surely notice that her current look is not new territory for her. Over 20 years ago, she first sported the edgy haircut with a fringed bang, though back then with a much darker base color.

Who Can Pull Off Heidi Klum’s Hairstyle?

Heidi Klum’s new old hairstyle is both timeless and modern, appearing casual and feminine at the same time. Women with oval face shapes can practically wear anything, so this layered cut with a fringed bang suits them well. Heidi herself has an oval face. Heart-shaped faces benefit from the bangs, which can conceal a broader forehead. A long face is visually shortened by the bangs. Women with round faces can also wear Heidi Klum’s hairstyle but should consider thinning out the bangs a bit.

For hair texture, women with straight hair have it easy, as the cut requires little styling. For very curly or frizzy hair, the bangs and cut are more maintenance-intensive but doable.
