Dubai’s style scene is nothing short of electric. From rooftop brunches to late-night yacht parties, there’s always a style moment to capture and a look to slay. But this summer, it’s not just the clothes catching attention. It’s all about the hair. Hair trends inspired by Hollywood’s hottest stars are taking over Dubai salon, across the city, with stylists adding bold Middle Eastern Eastern touch.

So what are the looks blowing up in Dubai right now? Here’s the tea.

Blow out style

1. The “Effortless” Expensive Blowout

Imagine mixing Hailey Bieber’s signature ease with the classy, modest, and luxurious fashion of the UAE. Big, bouncy, super-shiny hair is back—and better than ever. In Dubai, it’s less about looking undone and more about looking picture perfect. Stylists are bringing back the iconic 90s Cindy Crawford volume, reimagined with modern tools and gloss treatments. One top hairstylist in Jumeirah laughed and called it “rich girl hair”—low-maintenance in appearance, but high-maintenance behind the scenes.

Bun hairstyles

2. The Sleek Bun Comeback

Spotted on Zendaya, Bella Hadid, and practically every red carpet this year, the slicked-back bun is still going strong — and Dubai stylists are obsessed. Whether it’s styled low at the nape of the neck or perched high with a middle part sharp enough to cut glass, this trend is all about confidence. In the Dubai heat, it’s also refreshingly practical. “It gives instant boss energy,” said one stylist at a top DIFC salon. Bonus? It doubles as the perfect canvas for dramatic earrings.

Bronde look – combination of Blonde and Brunette

3. Blonde meets brunette in the season’s most versatile hybrid: bronde.

It’s not exactly new, but it’s making a serious comeback—thanks to stars like Gigi Hadid and Margot Robbie. Stylists in Dubai are loving the shade for its ability to complement a wide range of skin tones—from golden to olive—and for the way it grows out with ease.

It’s the low-drama colour choice,” one colourist noted. “Our clients want luxury, but they also want to travel and not worry about roots every three weeks.

Barbie look

4. The Barbie Blonde Obsession

Let’s blame Margot Robbie (again). The Barbiecore craze that swept fashion is now coming for your roots literally. Salons are booked solid with women requesting creamy platinum tones with hints of honey and beige. And yes, maintenance is intense, but if you’re walking through Mall of the Emirates with hair like liquid gold, isn’t it worth it?

Bangs look

5. Bangs Are Back

From curtain bangs à la Lily Collins to full blunt fringes like Rihanna’s latest Met Gala look, bangs are in — and Dubai stylists are having fun with it. They soften the face, add mystery, and frame the eyes. “Everyone thinks bangs are high-risk,” said a stylist in Al Barsha. “But the truth is, with the right cut and styling tips, they’re a total game-changer.”

The Bottom Line?

Dubai’s hair game is thriving, and it’s deeply inspired by global celebrity trends — just with a bit more glam and polish. If you’re looking for a full transformation or just a fresh blow-dry, take this as your sign to book that salon appointment. Because in this city, your hair deserves just as much attention as you.

Trends that dominated 2016 are firmly back in the forefront in 2026, creating nostalgic style moments from casual streetwear to the runway. This is an unexpected throwback to the past for fashion. The mid-2010s are being channelled by designers, influencers, and A-list celebrities with stylish modern twists, demonstrating that what was once retro is now surprisingly relevant.

Famous wardrobe essentials like chokers, off-the-shoulder tops, baseball caps, and graphic tees pieces that flooded festival fashion ten years ago, are now redesigned for 2026 and are at the front of this comeback. To update these looks beyond their initial casual vibe, stylists advise wearing chokers with layered necklaces and off-the-shoulder tops with fitted pants.

Celebrities are actively participating in the throwback trend. Social media has erupted with a 2016 throwback challenge, seeing stars like Kylie Jenner, Lucy Hale and Eva Longoria revisiting flannel shirts, mirrored sunglasses and distressed denim, classic hallmarks of 2016’s carefree aesthetic.

Royal influence hasn’t been ignored either. Princess Kate has inspired fashion fans by reviving her 2016 British Vogue cover look, particularly the suede trench coat, as a must-have transitional piece for the season.

High fashion is experiencing nostalgia as well. Many Spring/Summer collections pay homage to the spirit of the decade, embracing colorful accessories and streetwear influences that ruled runways ten years ago, even as designers continue to push forward.

The return of 2016 fashion is more than just a throwback; it’s a sign of a renewed desire for carefree, expressive, and authentic style, and it serves as a reminder that fashion cycles are dynamic rather than static.

Monochromatic dressing is a reliable way to make a puffer jacket look smart. This black puffer jacket elevates an everyday outfit when paired with matching head-to-toe pieces. For a finishing touch, add some bold earrings, a leather purse, and a pair of stylish sunglasses.

With Clashing Prints

Although puffer coats are essential, they don’t have to be dull. Add some colour to gloomy winter days with a variety of standout designs, such as animal-print pants or festive winter outfits. Bold patterns, unexpected textures, and playful contrasts bring life and energy to a practical winter essential. From plaids to graphic motifs, mixing prints brings energy, personality, and character to cold-weather dressing, making it clear that warmth and style can exist together.

With Leather Trousers

This outfit shows that leather trousers can work well with a puffer jacket, despite their unconventional pairing. Opt for complementary colours, such as a khaki or cream puffer and black or brown trousers, rather than a full-black outfit, which can feel heavy or overpowering. Choose your accessories carefully as well; coordinating them with your leather trousers will create a well-balanced finish.

With Tailoring

A hybrid leather-puffer jacket is an excellent example of where form and function meet. Combining large outerwear with precise tailoring and knee-high boots creates a well thought out and put-together look.
