Pop Art Halloween: 9 Surreal Makeup Masterpieces

Although the peak years for pop art and its creative pioneers are seemingly in the past, the art form lives forever. And with Halloween fast approaching, there’s no better way to express your artistry and highlight your features than to transform yourself into a living masterpiece. Makeup artists through the years have taken cues from the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol, morphing themselves into comic-like caricatures. With colorful cosmetics, these pros have demonstrated that the possibilities of the pop art movement are truly endless.

From overdrawn lips and extreme contours, to full face-painting and bubbled tears, here are nine pop art makeup tutorials to help you get creative this Oct. 31.

These Olympic Braids Are All Winners in Our Book

Although we're majorly impressed with the athleticism displayed at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, it's impossible to deny that this year's Olympians are looking just as good as they're performing. Through the unpredictable Brazilian weather and the fierce competition, women from all over the world have discovered ways to keep their hair out of their faces. And the perfect means of doing so seems to be the braid. Every variation of the plaited style has been seen on the court, sand, mat, and field. Here are some of our favorite Olympians showing up to not only win but also provide hair goals along the way. Let’s keep in touch! Follow Yahoo Beauty on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

A Local News Station Gave a Brilliant Weather 'Hair-Cast'

You don’t need a weather app to tell you that it’s hot out — especially during the current peak of summer humidity that’s got much of the country in its grip. But there’s a meteorologist out there to tell you what you do need to know. WYMT’s Chris Johnson is Kentucky’s local weather man who strives to keep his segments relatable and fun. So what can he tell us about the weather on Friday? That it’s a “Bad Hair, Don’t Care” kind of day.

The local news station created a haircast for the humidity. (Photo: Facebook)

The news station created a Hair-Cast, based on the humidity, and posted a picture on its Facebook page with a fair warning. “With the heat & humidity in store for ‪#‎EKY‬ today, ladies…it’s a ‘Bad Hair, don’t care’ kind of day,” the post read, with appreciative women offering their praise of the amusing graphic. And while we love that Johnson is helping us out with hair issues, this isn’t the first time he’s given his viewers helpful life tips.

“I ask myself constantly, what is there that I can do, a graphic that I can make that will help whoever is watching (women, men, children, etc.) to get them out the door and be prepared for the day,” Johnson tells Yahoo Beauty. “I try to cover the bases — from children, with a bus stop forecast, to the teens, with a Pokemon Go forecast, to the adults commuting to work.” Now this is the stuff we need the news to be informing us of!

As an on-camera meteorologist, Johnson is aware of the time that it takes all anchors to get ready. And after noting that women seemingly spend more time on their hair, he wants to save his lady viewers some time on these sticky mornings. “Just let the local weather man help you out,” he says. And that we will.

The World's Most Identical Triplets Lead the Exact Same Lives

The most identical triplets in the world. (Photo: News Dog Media)

Laura, Nicola, and Allison Crimmins are triplets from Dublin, Ireland, who have apparently never left each other’s sides. At 29 years old, the sisters not only look identical, but live identical lives, making them, from what we can tell, the most indistinguishable set of triplets in the world. From their apartment to their career, and every beauty and diet routine, the women share everything — including body measurements.

The Crimmins sisters work together as models, and even the people who have worked with them for years reportedly have trouble determining who is who. “When they’re smiling sometimes, they just all look exactly the same. I cannot tell the difference,” fashion photographer Lil Forberg told News Dog TV. And this confusion is most likely their favorite compliment.

Even dressing differently doesn’t make them easier to tell apart. (Photo: News Dog Media)

“We live identical lives so we look the same and we love it,” Laura told the Daily Mail. “It’s important that we use exactly the same products and get all our beauty treatments together — whether that’s spray tanning, nails, makeup or our haircuts.”

Same goes for what goes into their bodies. Each woman has a 28-inch waist, 34-A cup size, and weighs 119 pounds at 5’11” — measurements that are controlled by an identical diet and exercise routine. “We go for a run together in the morning then have porridge for breakfast. For lunch, we go to the same café together and order a salad. Then for dinner, it’s grilled chicken with a baked potato,” Allison told the UK media outlet, pointing out that even their cheat meals are the same. The sisters, who were scouted by a modeling agency at 16, have managed to remain replicas of each other ever since.

Incase you thought that identical bodies weren’t quite this possible. (Photo: News Dog Media)

Of course these sisters aren’t the only ones living mirrored lives. From the twins that married another set of twins to identical twins that share a boyfriend — and even a set that gave birth at the same exact time — there are plenty of intriguingly identical siblings that are simply out to confuse the rest of us.

The Greatest Grandma Makeovers

Tea Flego’s Grandma Livia in full glam. (Photo: Instagram)

While the beauty communities of YouTube and Instagram are dominated by millennials, they’re doing some impressive stuff for the older generations, too. The Grandma Does My Makeup Challenge brought the grandmothers of different YouTubers onto the video platform for the first time — and now they’re coming back for more. The grandma of Croatian makeup artist Tea Flego is just one example of the magic of cosmetics on mature skin, and people are certainly loving her looks. But Grandma Livia, also known as Glam-Ma, isn’t the only fabulous grandmother getting her face done.

GLAM-MA (80) loves you guys❤ @teaflego #teaflego @opvlashes @hudabeauty @gerardcosmetics @liplandcosmetics @mywunderbrow @wakeupandmakeup @allmodernmakeup @makeupvideoss @glamvids @amrezy #wakeupandmakeup#allmodernmakeup#vegas_nay#makeupclips#makeupcoach#universodamaquiagem_oficial#opvlashes#hudabeauty#hudakattan#hudalashes#wunderbrow#gerardcosmetics#howtomakeup#glamvids#maccosmetics#makeupobsessed#slave2beauty#beautyblogger#motd#makeupgeek#makeupartistworldwide#amrezy#makeupaddiction#makeupjunkie#makeupfanatic1

Glam-Ma made her debut on Flego’s Instagram almost two years ago, setting a standard for beautified women everywhere, including those at her residence. “She’s become a mascot in the nursing home — her friends call her a star,” Flego told Today.

This grandma glam has hit the pages of other makeup artists’s social media, who are showing off just how beautiful their older relatives are. And although the women are wearing makeup like pros, for some, this is the first time they’ve worn product in a while.

Taylor Trimble is an 18-year-old makeup artist who decided to surprise her own grandmother with some glam, though it proved to be a bit difficult. “She hasn’t worn makeup in years,” Trimble told Buzzfeed regarding her grandma’s makeover. “She kept blowing her nose and wiping her eyes while I was trying to put the makeup on, so it was a bit of a challenge.” Regardless, her 97-year-old grandma looks flawless.

My 97 year old Great Glam-Ma!???? #makeupbytay

YouTuber Tori Ross got her grandmother to sit (and even dance) in front of the camera for this beautiful transformation.

Beauty guru, By Alyssaa, topped her grandma’s look off with some setting spray, and she didn’t even flinch.

When your granddaughter is a professional makeup artist, like Ami Erika, you get a personal tutorial, like this grandmother right here.

And the inspiring looks don’t end there. YouTuber Kandee Johnson and celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic have tested their skills with mature skin on their gorgeous mothers.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there. Hope you truly have the best day ever. My mom is in another country right now and I miss her so much. Here's a before and after I did with her (she's 68 yo and this was the first time she ever wore makeup) ❤️????☺️ #MakeupByMario #HappyMothersDay

We’re thinking that it might just pay off to have a talented child who can double as your personal makeup artist…

Twitter Cannot Get Over Ryan Lochte’s Spray Tan

Lochte debuted the same tan at the 2012 Olympic Trials. (Photo: Getty Images)

If you watched the Olympic Men’s Swimming 4x200m freestyle relay Tuesday night, you saw Ryan Lochte’s spray tan. The third-leg swimmer of the gold medal team received quite the reaction from fans after stripping down to his swim trunks to reveal a bronze-orange bod to the entire arena. And although we’re not hating on Lochte’s right to tan, the contrast with his new light ‘do is a bit shocking.

There’s quite a contrast between Lochte and his teammates. (Photo: Getty Images)

After debuting his bleach blue hair on Instagram just last week, fans of Lochte got used to the look, thinking it would be his only Olympic surprise. But following the swimmer’s tanned appearance at the 2012 Olympic trials, this could have been expected. As per usual, Twitter led the conversation about Lochte’s shocking hue, with tweets referring back to his pre-London look.

That’s right @ryanlochte all that spray tan will slow you down #OlympicTrials ????????

— Stephanie Myers (@StephanieMyers) June 28, 2012

Ryan Lochte, do you fake bake or spray tan? #golden help a sista out

— Bridget Lam (@bridgetlam) July 30, 2012

Anyone who ever wondered what Draco Malfoy would look like with a spray tan, tune in to the Olympics now. #RyanLochte #Rio #400by2relay

— Haleigh Jones (@HaleighJones11) August 10, 2016

I feel bad for whoever swims after Ryan Lochte and has to swim through the haze of his spray tan that came off in the pool! #Rio2016

— Kellycat (@xlivvielockex) August 10, 2016

And best of all are the confused fans who simply haven’t caught on to the reason behind Lochte’s look.

Colin thinks ryan lochte has a spray tan? #Iagree

— Brooke MacCloskey (@BrookeMacCloske) June 26, 2012

Did Ryan Lochte get a spray tan for the #RioOlympics2016?

— The Queen (@sarahmichellem) August 10, 2016

Okay does Ryan Lochte have a spray tan?

— Hannah (@hannahrw915) August 10, 2016

Yes, tweeters, it appears that Ryan Lochte got a spray tan.

Yay for spray tans! (Photo: Getty Images)

The better question is: How does his tan manage to stay on after swimming 200m at Olympic speeds? Keep us posted, Lochte. Please.

$2,000 Bags and $5 T-shirts: Inside the World of Back-to-School Haul Videos

These haulers are serving up some back-to-school shopping inspiration. (Photo: YouTube)

If you’re like anybody else going back to school, you’re looking forward to one thing: shopping. The beginning of a new school year is a parental-approved excuse to revive your wardrobe, making the dreaded countdown to the first day that much better. And if you’re not sure how to restock your closet for the fast-approaching back-to-school season, we have some inspiration for you, straight from the weird world of YouTube haul videos — a popular subgenre wherein young women lovingly show off the contents of their overstuffed shopping bags from Urban Outfitters, Target, and, for some lucky bloggers, Acne and Chloé.

From the basic tee-and-jeans look to more sophisticated and standout threads, these YouTube haulers have got you covered with any outfit you need for a head-turning start to your year — especially if you can afford to carry a $2,000 designer bag to school. Our six favorite style hauls, straight ahead.

Unlike some of the more designer-focused bloggers, Kathryn Emily sticks to affordable basics from teen-friendly retailers like Pac Sun, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Forever 21. We dig how she levels up her basics by searching for tees with interesting necklines — and the fact that she clearly loves a sale.

The fashion-forward Vagabond Youth’s haul includes more directional pieces from super-trendy online retailers like Style Nanda, luxury label Acne, and — the pièce de résistance, the $2,000 Chloé Faye bag that’s on every street-style star’s arm. So it was just us that got $100 to spend on back to school?

Toronto native Tara Michelle rocks a baseball cap and bomber jacket while displaying her sporty garments from on-trend stores Topshop, Brandy Melville, Urban Outfitters, and Zara. She also shows off her newest beauty and skin care products, giving Kylie Lip Kits and Clean and Clear face wash such rhapsodic reviews, we were looking for the #spon tag. And while not all of her clothing is school-appropriate (ahem, lace-up bodysuit), her idea of a jewelry “splurge” at Free People is definitely up our alley.

From laid-back sweatpants to girly skirts and dresses, Aspyn Ovard hit the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for the pieces you can now buy at full price. As for that off-the-shoulder top, she suggests you wear it with high-waisted pants and a sweater over top to not get dress-coded. In other words, it’s probably not for school.

The charismatic Kalista Elaine revealed her interesting criteria for back-to-school clothing, which helps her navigate her way through stores like Forever 21. “Anything that looks like something Taylor Swift would wear, I probably want it.” So, if you’re into that kind of fangirl look, she’s got it.

While most colleges are more about fun fashion than strict dress codes, Michelle Reed goes to school in the financial district of Manhattan, where she is encouraged to blend in with the businesspeople. If you think of business casual as stuffy or unflattering, you need to watch this girl accomplish the impossible: finding appropriate clothing at American Apparel.

Someone Stole Kesha's Jacket and She Really Wants It Back

The missing jacket was custom made in a collaboration with Nudie Girl. (Photo: Instagram)

Desperation overtook Kesha Monday night when she discovered that a suit jacket, custom made for her show, was missing from her dressing room. And naturally, she took to Instagram to inform people about it. The singer, who has another show in Cleveland tonight, posted a video pleading with followers to find it and return it to her by her 9pm show, singling out one Instagram user in particular.

if u guys can please help me find this suit jacket. i will be forever indebted. i need it for my show tomorrow night. someone stole it from my room. can anyone help me? @mrpeepsmom where did you find this picture ? IF YOU CAN HELP ME I WILL DO SOMETHING AMAZING FOR YOU I JUST NEED THIS PLEASE

A video posted by Kesha (@iiswhoiis) on Aug 8, 2016 at 9:08pm PDT

“It just showed up on Instagram,” Kesha said of the jacket in her video post. “If you can get me my f***ing suit, I don’t know what I’ll do. I’ll kiss you on the f***ing mouth.” The photo of the jacket in question was posted by a Kesha fan page, which she mentioned in her caption, two hours prior to Kesha’s public plea. And while Daddy David’s post seemed innocent, it had a lot of people questioning if the person behind the account was responsible for the lost item. “Give Kesha HER property back!” one commenter wrote, while another sensitively asked, “Can you please send it back to her she really needs it.”

Keshas suit from last night ???? #kesha

A photo posted by Daddy David (@mrpeepsmom) on Aug 8, 2016 at 7:16pm PDT

Later posts by the fan account make the claim that he did not actually steal the jacket, and was just trying to have some fun. But from the looks of it, you probably don’t want to mess with Kesha’s fans. The singer herself hasn’t made any mention of the jacket since, but Daddy David posted to Instagram just a couple of hours ago to say that it has been found. For the sake of the man behind this account, we sure hope that that’s true.

Really? We're Talking About Gabby Douglas's Hair Again?

Photo: Getty Images

As the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio rev up, people around the world are finding something to talk about. But it has nothing to do with the all-star talent on their TVs. Gabby Douglas, the American gymnast who made history at the 2012 London Games, is facing backlash (yet again) for her hair. The 20-year-old gold medalist was at the center of a debate on Twitter during her last Olympic Games because of her gelled ponytail, which people called unkempt. And now that she dared to sweat during competition in steaming-hot Rio, she’s again facing the fury of critics who can’t seem to embrace her natural hair.

While this year’s uproar has been quickly shut down by the more sensible people on Twitter, there is still plenty of hate being spewed toward Douglas’s hairstyling. The controversy over her edges (naturally curly or coarse hairs that form along the hairline) is debatably the most irrelevant conversation about the Olympics thus far.

I swear to god if gabby douglas doesn't fix her edges for the olympics

— Daniel Gegenheimer (@dann_da_mann) August 6, 2016

I know we went through this with Gabby Douglas and her hair 4 years ago but…….she could've just laid her edges a lil…

— Tee-Nasty (@_ShesTeeTee) August 7, 2016

If gabby douglas got her edges right, she'd perform w excellence. #science

— agem (@crzy4agem) August 7, 2016

The lack of logic behind these complaints is quite comical, but luckily there are some Americans stepping in to defend our Olympian.

Y'all sweat out edges for the THOT Olympics but when #GabbyDouglas does it for actual gold y'all have an issue pic.twitter.com/2ySjgr5CVj

— Crème Brûlée (@MsLegs4days) August 9, 2016

Ppl worried about Gabby Douglas hair like she going to the club. This girl is competing in the Olympics. Them edges GONE sweat!

— crazy$exycool (@cjon_) August 9, 2016

Gabby Douglas is a world class athlete with two gold medals and all you could do is criticize her edges? Her hair?

— glendon (@glenpalmtree) August 8, 2016

It's amazing, how most these women can't do a cart wheel but can talk about #GabbyDouglas edges, she's an Olympic champion

— LGBPoet (@lgbpoet) August 9, 2016

For the rest of the Games, we can only hope that both Douglas and world champion Simone Biles stay unbothered by the criticism.

Please tell me how you stupid tricks think #GabbyDouglas and #SimoneBiles edges are supposed to be laying down!?

Despite Losing in Doubles, Serena and Venus Williams' Beauty Game Was Still Strong

Venus and Serena Williams take the Olympic doubles court with style. (Photo: Getty Images)

Serena and Venus Williams suffered their first Olympic loss in doubles yesterday, and while we’re certainly upset about it, we couldn’t help but notice their fierce and winning looks. The sisters, who went into the match with a 15-0 Olympic career record, showed up with their hair and manicure game on point — reminding us all that the women are bosses both on and off the court. Venus rocked her red braids in a bun, while Serena sported a mid pony with an American flag scrunchie, complete with patriotic nails.

Even Serena’s manicure is patriotic AF. (Photo: Getty Images)

Although the loss was shocking for the pair, Serena sounded confident in a post-match conference. “We have a chance to compete for our country and did the best that we can,” she said. “We had a blast out there.” And by the celebratory looks of both of them, that’s definitely the truth.

Look Your Best for Back to School With These Beauty Tutorials

Turn heads with a simple beauty routine for back to school. (Photo: YouTube)

The first day of school is known for many things — new teachers, returning friends, and the always dreaded homework — but the best part is going back as a better version of you. First impressions are everything, and although they typically happen just once, the beauty of a summer break is the ability to make an impression time and time again. And there’s no better way to turn heads than with a fresh look.

Rules and regulations against hair and makeup are different across school districts, but whether you’re applying just a moisturizer or a full face of makeup, there are endless products that you can use to get yourself ready to slay your first day. From young middle school years to upgraded looks for high school and college, here are the beauty looks you should rock for back to school.

These natural looks are great for any young girl experimenting with makeup. By keeping it light, you can head out on those early mornings looking fresh-faced.

  While we didn’t all start wearing makeup in middle school, it’s definitely a time when many girls consider giving it a go. Don’t be afraid to add a colored lip balm or some mascara if it coincides with school rules.

  This is the ideal solution for styling naturally curly hair in crunch time. By doing your hair the night before and sleeping in a silk cap, you’ll be good to go in the morning.

  This natural yet fierce makeup is a toned-down sequel to Jasmine’s “Slay First Day of School Makeup.” But have no fear — that cheek highlighter is sure to grab people’s attention.

  Winged liner can be perfect for any occasion, and if you don’t believe us, here is the proof. The flick adds interest to a mature first-day makeup look.

  A pop of color on the lip and a pulled-back hairstyle is all you need to appear studious and stylish on your way back to school. These two simple tricks will keep you looking good while feeling fuss-free.

  Natural hair doesn’t mean boring. Keep your curls on point and out of your face with these go-to styles that require minimal effort.

  Went for the summer’s trendiest cut and don’t know what to do with your hair now? Here is an example of the many styles you can still create with medium-length hair.

VP Biden’s Birthday Gift to President Obama Is BFF Goals

Biden and Obama are giving us BFF envy. (Photo: AFP/Getty Images)

On President Obama’s 55th birthday, people are anticipating how much they’ll miss the president once he’s out of office, but his real pal Joe Biden is getting deeper than that. The vice president took to Twitter this afternoon to share some birthday love for his presidential partner and posted a photo of just about the cutest gift you could imagine.

Happy 55th, Barack! A brother to me, a best friend forever. pic.twitter.com/uNsxouTKOO

— Vice President Biden (@VP) August 4, 2016

“Happy 55th, Barack! A brother to me, a best friend forever,” the VP tweeted with an image of friendship bracelets (intertwined, of course). The two paired up prior to Obama’s first term, almost eight years ago — so we guess after all this time, it’s hard not to become so close. If you weren’t already getting sentimental about this administration exiting the oval office, Biden’s message is making quite the impression as it displays the serious bromance.

The tweet is bringing us back to the last days of camp, when you have to say goodbye to your summer BFF. Of course, those friendships are naturally celebrated with the trade of string bracelets that you promise to never, ever, ever take off — but it’s even better coming from the men leading our country.

The two are using the bracelets to promote the ease of voter registration (spoiler, making friendship bracelets is harder).

Georgia May Jagger Now Has Orange Hair

Georgia May Jagger took to Instagram to show off her new look. (Photo: Instagram)

The daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall just made a major hair change, going from beautiful blonde locks to fierce orange ones — and she’s seriously rocking it. Georgia May made a trip to London this week with her friend and professional surfer Coco Ho; they traveled with style company Volcom Women’s, which documented both ladies’ transformations.

“Colorful babes,” noted a post of the process. One commenter joked that Jagger’s “hair game is on fire,” and nobody seemed concerned about whether or not the move was a good one. BLEACH salon in London was responsible for the purple and orange strands, which few others could pull of as well as these two.

My initial reaction, "Sorry dad" ????/ @GeorgiaMayJagger "This is nothing my dad is worried about" ???? What a time ????????@bleachlondon @volcomwomens ❤️

But judging by the comments on Jagger’s own Insta, we think more people might be trying it out for themselves anyway…

The Wildest Ways to Give Haircuts

While you’re busy leaning back in your salon’s sink for a pre-cut washing, hairstylists around the world are leading a quiet revolution when it comes to the way they snip your ’do. The irregular methods of these true artists may not necessarily be making their way into mainstream salons, but they are offering alternative approaches — and more importantly, making for viral videos.

Two of the most recent cuts have accumulated tens of thousands of views for their uniqueness. And once you see the way this magician uses an electric razor, you’ll understand why.

Falling asleep to this. Rg @stylemefresh

The straight-edge cut is seriously satisfying and seemingly simple with the smooth movement of the stylist’s tool. But there are more questionable techniques out there.

In a German salon, one stylist experimented with quite the interesting approach, prepping a client’s hair for a cut by putting it into four ponytails on top of her head. Still, although the process looks worthy of failure, the result is actually amazing.

The impulsive approach of each stylist is key to how mesmerizing these really are, which is why many more have gained interest as well.

The lack of structure makes these all the more fun to watch, especially because they somehow work out in the end. Some stylists are even doing blindfolded haircuts, or using medieval tools like swords and fire on their client’s hair.

Yes, the videos are fun to watch, but we’re not sure if we’d really trust someone slashing at our hair. So if you’re looking for some easy DIY haircutting techniques, there’s some captivating inspiration for that too.

Beauty Vlogger Stacks 100 Bindis on Her Forehead

The madness continues: “100 layers of…” videos have hit every makeup trend out there, and now they’re expanding to include beauty beyond cosmetics — first hijabs, and now bindis. Beauty vlogger Nabela Noor took some inspiration from her friend and fellow YouTuber Dina Tokio, who did a 100 Layers of Scarves video, in which she piled on her favorite hijabs, and now Noor is putting her own spin on it.

The Bangladeshi American vlogger pulled out packs of her favorite bindis to do some layering of her own — and while she laughed through it, she certainly wasn’t happy about wasting so many of her dearest accessory. “This is the ultimate sacrifice,” she jokes in the video. “Do you know how much I love collecting bindis?! This is, like, emotional.”

Hilarity ensues throughout the video, as the challenge takes “100 layers of…” to new heights  — or should I say lengths? So much so that (spoiler alert!) she doesn’t actually make it to 100 bindis. “OK, 78 seems like almost our tipping point,” Noor says, as you see the bindi mountain beginning to fall.

Yup, we’d call that a tipping point, Nabela. (Photo: YouTube)

The final result is a stack of 80 bindis protruding from the vlogger’s forehead, which she jokes will be a good way to rock them when she attends her next wedding. This pile, deemed a “bindicorn” by viewers, is certainly a unique look — but we’re sure YouTubers will only continue to get more creative with the 100-layers-themed craziness.

Here's What Inspired Jen Atkin for Cara Delevingne's Killer Hairstyles

Following the reveal of Cara Delevingne’s chopped locks come the killer ‘dos of her Suicide Squad press tour. The actress and model has had quite the week of amazing hairstyles for her locks as she stepped out in New York City for multiple appearances, and Jen Atkin is behind them all. The celebrity hairstylist has been documenting her work with Delevingne on Snapchat and posting the final looks on Instagram, and she spoke to Yahoo Beauty about her inspirations. “Cara is so fun to work with because she can literally pull off ANY look,” Atkin said. “I worked closely with Rob Zangardi, Mariel Haenn, and Romy Solemani to collaborate on Cara’s looks this week.”

It all kicked off with a sculpture of bobby pins on Jimmy Kimmel Live, giving Delevingne a sleek look at the start of her very good hair week:

Next up, Delevingne stepped out of a hotel in NYC for a press event rocking two high buns. While people were quick to call them “raver buns,” Atkin took to Instagram to clarify her inspo, noting that they were “messy ’90s buns.” And as she told Yahoo Beauty, “For the 29th I was inspired by ’90s space buns (as seen on Mane Addicts) and the girls on the streets in Harajuku.”

Atkin then showed off the Dutch braids she did for Delevingne on Instagram, and raved to us about how the actresses’s outfit and makeup gave rise to the stunning look.

“I was inspired by her amazing Zuhair Murad look on the 30th and thought that braids would go well with the lip color Romy chose,” she said. “It felt cool, confident, and strong.”

For this high pony, Atkin said, “I was inspired by the ’60s mod era,” adding that she “softened it up by adding a Chloe and Isabel fan hair pin.” The ponytail, if you’ll remember, came just a few days after the ’90s inspired buns, displaying her tendency to find excitement in earlier decades.

To wit: Delevingne’s Aug. 1 appearance on Good Morning America called for some pulled back hair with an added twist, as the gorgeous look featured an ’80s sort of “business in the front, party in the back” feel, which compliments the one-of-a-kind actress.

Then we got a dose of old-school glam:

Delevingne finished her week of NYC press off strong with this jaw-dropping look that consisted of strong makeup and soft waves. “For the premiere, Romy and I loved old Helmut Newton pictures, and loved the idea of having a hint of old-school glam with her Anthony Vaccarello dress,” Atkin shared. “I finished the look by adding two Jen Atkin x Chloe + Isabel bobbi pins in silver.”
