Y2K crimping is coming back, according to fashion week runways
Chet Lo brought back Y2K crimping at London Fashion Week, steering away from the hyper-natural hair trends of the moment, and leaning into style nostalgia.
The Asian-American designer, known for his clashing textural designs, collaborated with celebrity hairstylist Anna Cofone and Authentic Beauty Concept to create a textbook Noughties look.
Cofone combined pin-straight hair with uniform crimps, creating a quintessentially Y2K look for Lo's autumn/winter 2025 collection.
'The inspiration for today's look is very much a continuation of patterns and panels,' said Cofone, 'we wanted to mimic the patterns in Chet's clothes, so we've got these cool, crimped panels appearing at the back of the model's hair and on some of the sides.'
As for the products, the goal was to look shiny and slick, so Cofone used Authentic Beauty Concept's hair balms and glow serums to calm any flyaways and add that Y2K-style shine.
While flat and shiny hairstyles are reminiscent of the early Noughties, crimping also recalls the trends of the Eighties, which have been observed on this season's runways.
'I think it's great that it's got this reference to the Eighties,' says Cofone. 'Do I think [crimping] is going to come back? I think people can definitely play with crimps and see what shape they get – for sure.'
The nostalgic crimped hair was the perfect accessory for the low-rise skirts and asymmetric tops that flooded this season's runway – ushering the return of early 2000s fashion – much to Gen Z's happiness.

Reality TV legend's husband 'deported from US after being detained for 4 months'
A Real Housewives of Atlanta star's estranged husband has reportedly been deported from the US after months in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre. Porsha Williams', 43, estranged husband Simon Guobadia, 61, is said to have been released from ICE custody and deported back to Nigeria, where the businessman was born. Guobadia is no longer listed on the US Department of Homeland Security system, which has details of all those in ICE custody. A friend and business partner of Guobadia's, Tai Savet, has said he is in 'good spirits' after a difficult four months in detention. Amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles over the government's immigration crackdown, Savet told Us Weekly that Guobadia isn't angry at President Donald Trump, but would like a sit-down meeting with him. The businessman was previously held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, Us Weekly reported, during which his status was listed as 'in ICE custody', according to the US Department of Homeland Security's records. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Williams issued a statement when Guobadia was detained in February, amid her ongoing divorce proceedings with him. 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family,' she wrote on Instagram. Guobadia moved to the US in 1982 but reportedly overstayed his visa and was deported in 1992, local outlet WSB-TV reported. He then returned to the country and attempted to gain citizenship over the years, unsuccessfully. Guobadia's deportation comes amid President's Trump's deportation programme, which prompted violent protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration and ICE. There is now a curfew in place in certain areas in LA.

Love Island fans call for boy to be KICKED OFF show after ‘disgusting' red flag comment
LOVE Island fans have called for one of the lads to be axed after he made a "disgusting" comment about Shakira Khan. Ben Holbrough sparked immediate red flag fears among viewers after pulling bombshell Toni Laites for a private chat. 7 Love Island fans are calling for Ben Holbrough to be kicked out Credit: ITV 7 It comes after he said Shakira Khan 'needed to be humbled' Credit: ITV 7 Ben made the 'red flag' remark while chatting to bombshell Toni Laites Credit: ITV American Toni - short for Antonia - had stolen Ben from Shakira moments earlier after making her shock entrance. Sitting down with Toni, Ben praised her for the savage move as he said Shakira "needed to be humbled". "I like it because it's humbled Shakira. She needed that," he told Toni. Fans on the show were horrified by taxi driver Ben's shock remark about the 22-year-old model. Venting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer raged: "Shakira needed to be humbled????? on day one?!! get Ben OUT OF THIS VILLA!" Another fumed: "Ben saying Shakira needed to be humbled and he's known her for three hours, he's a weirdo he needs to leave already." A third added: "It humbled Shakira. She needed that.' Put Ben in the bin pls." A fourth blasted: 'I like it it humbled shakira she needed that' sorry?? What? Get him off my screen what a bizarre thing to say." And someone else agreed: "What did Ben mean by Shakria needed humbled? Its not even been 24 hours. get this p**** out." As a result of Toni's arrival in the villa, Sophie Lee was savagely dumped from Love Island on Tuesday night. First person dumped from Love Island revealed Just 24 hours after she had arrived, 29-year-old Sophie was made to repack her bags and leave the villa. Ben, 30, had originally been coupled up with Shakira but was stolen from her by Toni when she walked in. Shakira was given one day to find a connection with another guy otherwise she would have been dumped from the island. Unfortunately for Sophie, the brunette managed to turn Harry Cooksley's head and picked him to recouple with. Her decision left Sophie single and she was sent home. Shakira needed a pep talk from Love Island host Maya Jama before telling the group that she wanted to recouple with the footballer. As she was about to make her decision known, Shakira turned away from the fire pit and her voice cracked. She whispered to Maya: "So let me just get this straight, whoever I pick, that girl gets dumped?" Maya replied: "Yeah." Shakira whispered: "For f***'s sake. I still don't know which one I'm picking." Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID Maya advised Shakira to go with the guy who she was most compatible with, adding: "You don't want to regret anything later." Sophie, a former fire breather and dancer who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, has since broken her silence on her early exit. 7 Shakira had tor recouple with someone after Toni stole Ben Credit: Eroteme 7 Shakira needed a pep talk from Maya Jama when picking a new man 7 She chose to recouple with Harry Cooksley Credit: ITV

HAIM respond to Glastonbury Festival 2025 rumours:
The group will be in the United Kingdom for the Dreamland Summer Series in Margate on June 27. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... HAIM have addressed the rumours that they 'could' perform at Glastonbury Festival 2025. The discussion arose during an interview on BBC Radio 2 overnight with Jo Whiley. The band, however, merely stated that they would be 'in the area' around the time of the festival. One of the more persistent rumours alongside Pulp performing a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later this month is that of the potential that HAIM 'could' fill one of the secret slots. Whether it be the sisters performing under the pseudonym Patchwork, or perform one of the litany of TBA slots revealed since the launch of the official timetable, many believe that the group - who last performed at Glastonbury in 2022 - are going to make an appearance. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad To finish off the UK leg of their 'I quit' tour, American rock band Haim will play the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Friday, October 31. | Getty Images for Prime Video So when the band appeared on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show earlier this week (June 10 2025), the question was brought up by the host, with HAIM responding in cryptic fashion. 'Well, we're playing Margate,' Este explained, before the sisters would suggest that they 'shall be in the area.' When asked what their favourite stage at Glastonbury is to play on, Alana responded 'We love the Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite (because) that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury (...) it felt like a movie.' She continued: 'It was like 'What is going on? How did we get here, and also just like - you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. It's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The 'best festival in the world,' according to the sisters, does have a rather large TBA sized gap on the Park Stage scheduled between 19:30 and 20:30 on the Saturday night.
