This week, late summer 2025 looked more like 2005 with the best celebrity beauty playing with the early ‘00s. From airbrushed sex appeal and perky blonde wigs, to half-white wings and dual-toned hair colors, we’ve been released from the ‘90s chokehold (at least, temporarily) and entered into 21st century trends. 

Can’t decide between brown or blonde? Cardi B wore both in a two-toned, asymmetrical cut pattern paired with a textured blue manicure. FKA Twigs followed suit in a blue and silver hair color her stylist called “thready,” inspired by blue dragon sea slugs. Meanwhile, JT and Tyla went even more playful with platinum ringlets and a little blonde bob respectively. 

While the ‘00s had a moment, some beauty looks still defied time. Tracee Ellis Ross’s satin red lip matched Keke Palmer’s thick burgundy lip line; Doechii’s glass manicure was almost completely see-through; and, Megan Thee Stallion’s black eyeliner joined her white waterline into a classic double wing. To end the week, however, Justine Skye brought us all back to the present, with her sultry makeup and trending Boho braids
