Emily Ratajkowski is a fashion mogul but with her fresh new bouffant bob, she's anything but a side character in the beauty space. Today may just be the day we crown a new celebrity hair chameleon...

Just short of 24 hours ago [October 16, 2024], EmRata took to Instagram to share photos of the recent SELF-PORTRAIT fashion campaign in which she fronts. As shown in the pics, for the shoot, Emily underwent a hair makeover with one look featuring glossy, bouffant curls that sit at shoulder-length.

The fashion brand itself also took to social media to share a number of the campaign's photos and videos. As they wrote themself in the caption of the below, 'Watch the story unfold as Emily Ratajkowski takes her space in the spotlight.'

While the inspiration behind the campaign is yet to be revealed, there's no denying that the hair looks are reminiscent of pinned curls circa the 1960s. Though, having said that, whether the decade's hair was curly, straight or wavy, it was actually volume and height that were the main goals.

And with such a bouffant finish, it's safe to say that Emily's recent 'do certainly meets the criteria.

While not essential, a backcombing brush as such is great for fluffing up any limp locks. From the ends to the root, comb backwards and smooth over once happy with the volume.

There's no knowing what hairstyle Emily will debut next... perhaps an electric blue pixie cut? Too far?
