The ‘Older Sister Side Part' Is This Summer's Nostalgia-Hitting Hair Trend

The ‘Older Sister Side Part' Is This Summer's Nostalgia-Hitting Hair Trend

Vogue4 days ago
Long shunned and banished to the early aughts, the so-called 'Older Sister Side Part' hairstyle is so, so back. We called it as a key beauty trend this season from the catwalks for spring summer 2025 and beyond: Saint Laurent's side parts were brought with serious business in both cropped forms and with flowing, shiny waves by hair stylist Duffy, paired with statement suits. At Chanel's 2026 Cruise presentation, lead hair stylist Anthony Turner coiffed some gleaming, razor-sharp side parts ready for Mediterranean lounging. At the 2025 Met Gala, Hailey Bieber opted to side part her effortless waves, while everyone from Sabrina Carpenter to Bella Hadid has been playing around with their part.
And while the ongoing clean girl trend has favored the symmetry of a middle part, the side parting offers something that can be both an elevated detail and a playful subversion of form. Regardless: Millennials, rejoice. The 'Older Sister Side Part' is inspired, of course, by the cool, effortless silhouette of the eldest sibling, and it's continuing its comeback in various forms. Here's how you can keep styling it in a way that doesn't feel like a tired out nostalgia hit.
Why the 'The Older Sister Side Part' is hot right now
A big sister cultivates a nonchalant aura, luxuriating in the wisdom of her rank and the freedom of the elder sister's status. The resulting hair look? It's preppy and strong. Separate the hair with a parting that's slightly off to the side—straight or more blurred, it's up to you—which creates a totally new look without having to reach for the scissors or hair dye.
Adopted by some of cinema's greatest women, we're looking to Mean Girls's Regina George, The Devil Wears Prada's number one assistant Emily, and Trinity of the Matrix megaverse. These are side parts that guarantee charisma and confidence, emulating the assertive energy of an older sister.

Dakota Johnson Teases Directorial Debut: ‘I Just Won't Let Anybody Else Do It'

Fresh off the success of the A24 romantic dramedy 'Materialists,' star Dakota Johnson has revealed that she is close to finalizing the deal for her feature directorial debut — a project she told reporters would star Vanessa Burghardt, with whom she worked in 2022's 'Cha Cha Real Smooth.' While appearing at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (where she will receive the President's Award), Johnson teased that project was 'very close to her heart,' and she thought Burghardt, 'an incredible autistic actress.' 'I've always felt that I'm not ready to direct a feature,' she said. 'I don't have the confidence, but, with her, I feel very protective and I know her very well. I can see this world, so I just won't let anybody else do it. That's the real answer.'

She has also stepped into the producer's seat on several occasions, including with 'Cha Cha Real Smooth,' as well as 'Am I OK?,' 'Daddio,' 'Splitsville,' the series 'Slip,' and the upcoming film 'Verity,' which stars Anne Hathaway. Johnson has often expressed her opinions on the state of Hollywood filmmaking. During an appearance last month on 'Hot Ones,' Johnson decried the proliferation of remakes and reboots. 'When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that,' she said. 'They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?' At Karlovy Vary (via Variety), Johnson discussed how she expects a set to be run when she works on a film — previewing how her own future production might operate. 'I don't want to face people who are not willing to collaborate,' she said. 'And then there are obvious things. We all know what a toxic set is by now. We're artists, so there's room for expansive personalities, and we're working with emotions. I love a healthy argument on a set, and I also believe that the most excellent idea wins. It's not a fight. It's not a race. It's a collaboration.'
