Overview
- The fully formed pixie was unveiled at Prada’s Paradoxe fragrance pop-up in SoHo during New York Fashion Week, an event coverage dates to September 12 that introduced the new look in a brand context.
- The cut is closely cropped at the nape with soft, coiffed curls on the crown that are styled to read airy and frizz-free rather than severe.
- Hairstylist Coree Moreno and makeup artist Ernesto Casillas are credited for the look, with Casillas using Prada Beauty’s pastel palette to create a lavender-tinged ‘wisteria’ makeup effect.
- Zendaya’s Prada outfit paired a bottle-green sweater over a pink button-down with a brown slip skirt accented by chartreuse details, and she was later photographed in Brooklyn with Euphoria co-stars in a casual red sweater and cream trousers that showed the haircut’s versatility.
- The change builds on a year of shorter-to-longer experiments and is being framed by fashion outlets as a potential signal for fall 2026 trends, including softer pixie crops, pastel fall makeup, and renewed interest in statement midi skirts.
