Rebecca Mir often shares the results of her work as a model on her Instagram account. However, rarely has a photo been as polarizing as the one from the weekend. It shows the “taff” presenter with bleached eyebrows—to the horror of her followers! Carmen Dörfler has summarized for you what they have to say about it and why Rebecca doesn’t seem to care much.
Rebecca Mir is a fixture in the German media landscape not only as a model but also as a presenter and influencer. Known for her impressive appearances on the catwalks, red carpets, and in front of the camera, she constantly surprises her followers with new and often daring looks. However, her latest style is not only causing a stir but also fierce criticism on social media.
Rebecca Mir Shows Off Her Bleached Eyebrows
Rebecca Mir regularly shares insights into her work as a model on Instagram. Recently, she presented her followers with a particularly eye-catching look that not only focuses on the outfit, but also on her styling.
She posed for the camera in an elegant black dress with a deep V-neckline, dramatic over-the-knee boots, and oversized statement bangles in gold. But it was mainly her face that attracted attention: her usually voluminous mane was tied back tightly in two out of four posts, so that it lay against her head and at first glance looked as if Rebecca Mir was bald or had very, very short hair.
Much more striking, however, were the 32-year-old’s eyebrows. They were bleached and stood out clearly in light blonde. As we all know, eyebrows are the frame of the face—ideally, in a color that resembles our hair. With Mir’s dark hair and olive complexion, her blonde eyebrows really stand out, even to her followers.
Fans Very Divided About Rebecca Mir’s Eyebrows
And they were unfortunately not very enthusiastic. Although Rebecca Mir is far from the first to try out the bleached eyebrow trend, the look is still not mainstream.
While some fans praise the courage and creativity of the shoot, others are more critical. Comments ranging from “The trend makes you look sick” to “It’s not pretty at all” and “Terrible pictures” set the tone. I look like a “terminally ill woman.”
But alongside the people who describe the styling—just a styling, mind you—as “frightening” or the model as “totally disfigured,” there are also other opinions. “Great ability to transform. Beautiful as always,” writes one user. “Simply a beautiful woman,” writes another. Ex-GNTM colleagues Simone Kowalski and Alisar Ailabouni also gave her post a like.
Whether they like the look or not, some want to see a deeper meaning behind the styling decision. Someone commented: “Feels like women are shedding their feminine side and men are portraying women. Where is that going? I honestly don’t see the point behind it.” [sic].

Rebecca Mir Seems to Like the Bleached Eyebrows
Ultimately, however, it is simply styling for a photo shoot. However, the reactions to this look show once again how individual fashion and perceptions of beauty are. What is a statement and an exciting development for some may be over the top for others. But it is precisely these discussions that make the fashion world so appealing. Rebecca Mir herself has so far left the speculation uncommented—and left it to her followers to interpret the message of her look.
By the way, Rebecca Mir seems to like the look. At an event in Berlin on Sunday evening, she appeared in a bright red dress, with a severely pared-back mane, and still with her bleached eyebrows. Perhaps those who are still grumbling about the styling will just have to get used to it.
