Breaking news for millennials everywhere: The side part is finally back in style. It took some time for us Gen-Zs to jump on the hair part wagon compared to other trends from the 2000's. However, we've finally given in to the versatility of parting the hair on one side to create shape, balance, and volume. Whether worn up or down, it is as simple as a rat-tail comb or your fingertips, but if you're looking for inspiration for your new hair part, the glitterati have served it up on a platter. Below, we've rounded up our favourite celebs and their stylish side parts, plus how to recreate them yourself.

Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo gave schoolgirl chic with glossy waves and a pinned side part. To recreate this look, it is as simple as curling the ends with a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron, applying hair oil to the ends for shine, and either using a bobby pin or a hair clip.

Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is a model, mogul, actress, "Princess of Nazareth" (the great great granddaughter of the ruler of Palestine in the 1700 Daher al Omer and his sons that ruled Tabarias Safad Nazareth Khalil Haifa and the rest of the land of Galilee) as her father would say, and now side part enthusiast with this fresh blowout. To recreate her look, prime with volumising mousse from root to tip. Using a round brush, blow-dry your tresses to add volume and curve the ends inward for added bounce.

Raye
Who the hell cares about a husband? We want Raye's 1950's bob. To recreate her look, apply volumising mousse and swap the curling tong for a set of hot rollers. Once cool, apply heaps of strong-hold hairspray to keep every ringlet in place.

Just as her sister, Gigi Hadid has also jumped on the side part train with this adorable flicked lob. For her hairdo, apply heat protectant. Using a flat iron, start by creating volume at the root before flicking outwards at the ends.

Rosรฉ
The No. 1 girl in our eyes and now in the Grammys, Rosรฉ is every bit of an IT girl with her low bun. To recreate her look, start with some texturising spray.
