Zendaya’s Fashion Week Pixie Cut Style Secrets
When it comes to hair trends, few figures possess the kind of influence that Zendaya does. With a simple change in style, her appearance instantly sets the benchmark, guaranteeing that the next must-have haircut will see a massive surge in demand across the beauty industry. It’s a testament to her ability to experiment and inspire, constantly offering us fresh ideas for what’s next.
Most recently, Zendaya continued her reign at the forefront of fashion and beauty by delivering a stunning look at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 show. She closed out the fashion week with a hairstyle that perfectly balanced edgy structure with irresistible softness: a beautifully choppy pixie cut.
This wasn’t just a hairstyle; it was a statement. The cut provided a distinct, hard edge to her ruffled lace ensemble while maintaining an overall feel that was perfectly wearable and effortlessly undone. The secret behind achieving this coveted balance came directly from her stylist, Coree Moreno.
Moreno approached the creation of this short hairstyle with a focus on texture and movement, aiming for a look that was dimensional and soft, providing a quiet counterpoint to the exaggerated volume found throughout the high-fashion wardrobe.
The process involved a three-step strategy designed to create controlled imperfection:
First, the foundation was set with preparation. Moreno began by misting the hair with No.98 THE GLASS // Anti-Frizz Hydration. This step ensured a smooth, humidity-resistant base without stifling the hair’s natural softness or movement.
Next came the shaping. To define the short length, Moreno used a heated brush to sculpt the cut. She utilized a small barrel brush to work in tiny sections, allowing her to create subtle bends and lift rather than forcing a traditional curl. She intentionally alternated the direction of the brush through the crown and hairline, ensuring that some pieces were allowed to turn up, others to fall forward, embracing the concept of controlled imperfection.
Finally, the finish polished the look. A small amount of No.98 THE GLOSS // Miracle Oil was lightly worked through the ends. This provided the necessary separation and a subtle, airy sheen, ensuring the final result felt both polished and touchable.
The resulting pixie cut was a masterclass in effortless chic—soft, mischievous, and perfectly imperfect, proving that the most striking looks are often those that feel completely natural.
