Erm, everyone stop what you're doing, because Zendaya has just debuted a new hairstyle, and we are actually obsessed. The Euphoria actor took to Instagram overnight to casually drop a mirror selfie to her stories which showed her posing with the fresh cut. And our first thought? That she's majorly channelling Jennifer Aniston's iconic 1990s cut during her time playing Rachel Green in Friends.
So, before we make a next-day appointment with our hairstylist (honestly, the temptation is real), let's unpack the pic. In the shot, the 26-year-old has clearly just stepped out of the salon as she captioned the shot 'needed a little refresh'. Rocking a shoulder-length bob, the new do included plenty of layers that were perfectly tousled to frame her face. The ends of her hair had also been styled to curl upwards, which solidified the 1990s look.
To complement the relaxed, 'I just woke up like this' layered bob, Zendaya sported a plain fitted white tee, low-rise blue jeans, a brown belt, and a suede brown bag. And let's be real, the whole fit oozed gal pal Rachel Green vibes during the early seasons of the iconic show.

In terms of who was responsible for the stunning 'refresh', Zendaya tagged Los Angeles hair stylist and celebrity colourist, Sarah Shears in the image. FYI, the hair artist was also the name behind the Challengers actor's sleek reddish-brown look from last year's Paris Fashion Week, where the actor stunned in a pink Barbiecore-style Valentino suit.
Moral of the story? Zendaya can pull off any hairstyle. Period.
