Bella Hadid’s Slick-Back Bun Is the New It-Girl Hair Trend

Bella Hadid has once again solidified her status as the queen of effortless cool. Her recent honey-blonde transformation at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival has also been the buzz of the beauty world. Now it’s her slick-back bun moment. The Slick-Back bun is stealing our attention for all the right reasons. With zero traditional styling products on hand, Hadid gave us a masterclass in resourcefulness. She crafted a snatched as well as polished bun in under a minute using just her new fragrance mist from Orebella.

The model’s ability to turn a fragrance spray into a hair essential? Pure It-girl energy. The result was sleek, moisturized, and effortlessly chic. Moreover, it’s a perfect example of the rising trend of minimalist hair styling that doesn’t skimp on polish. Whether you’re heading to a formal event or just want a heat-free, this sweat-proof style still feels elevated. Hadid’s 60-second “snatcheroo” is proof that less can truly be more.

Ready to adopt the look? Below, we break down what makes the slick-back bun a 2025 staple. Also, how to get Bella-level glam with just a few simple steps (and maybe a little creativity).
