The Hottest Hairstyle at Fashion Week Is Not on the Runways

For a few seasons now, the messy, too-cool-(or busy)-to-get-a-blowout topknot has been the go-to updo for the hip girls — off-duty models and editors — especially during fashion week when shampooing regularly isn’t an option. But this New York Fashion Week, a new iteration of the seasons-old topknot has surfaced and offers yet another way to get your hair out of your face, create a semblance of an updo and avoid washing your hair. It’s basically a half-up, half-down version of the go-to style. This demi-twist actually seems a bit man bun-inspired, as often seen on Williamsburg hipsters, sweaty European soccer players and Harry Styles. And, yes, Kate Middleton has previously sported a half-up, half-down look, but her twist was at back of her head and, well, more princess-y. (Ariana Grande is on it, however.)
