Elvish pixie, bowl cut, shag, modern mullet—for Emma Corrin, a buzz cut was only the natural next step. On Sunday, the actor attended a party thrown by Polo Ralph Lauren and British Vogue during Wimbledon, where they traded their bleached blonde ’80s coiffure for a buzz cut perfectly matched to their wheat-toned Ralph Lauren tailoring and Miu Miu accessories.
While color coordination factored into the look’s striking effect—Corrin’s bag and geometric sunglasses providing a similar contrast as their visible roots—it was the potential for the buzz cut to become the next big trend that has truly piqued our interest. Corrin’s cut comes fresh off the heels of Florence Pugh’s rosy pink iteration at the Valentino couture show last week, calling to mind the onslaught of platinum and pastel buzz cuts that defined 2017.
Will this year see more blunt bobs and rockabilly chops shorn off in favor of the buzz cut? The easy edginess of Corrin’s latest look certainly makes a compelling case.
