Princess Diana's Haircut Goes Viral on TikTok

When we think of Princess Diana, many symbols come to mind: her story recently told in The Crown, her social work during her time in royalty, and, perhaps even before that, her style.

Diana Spencer created a cohesive image for herself which became her trademark. Her looks that united casual and chic, her blue eyeliner—which was present in her makeup for a long time—and, of course, her haircut and styling were copied all over the world in the '80s and '90s. Now, with a wave of retro looks gaining more prominence, Princess Diana's hair has returned to the spotlight and become a TikTok hit.

The social network platform has already become one of the main trendsetters of the moment, with Gen Z making their presence felt by creating viral content on video. And who would have thought that a look so strong from decades past would regain strength 40 years later?

Short, with the bangs tossed to the side and perfectly stylized tips to frame the face, Diana's hairstyle is the perfect translation of a well-aligned aesthetic, but one that takes us directly into a time machine.

It's no wonder that one of the videos that went viral on TikTok followed the steps of a 1981 tutorial, and the result was frighteningly the same as Lady Di. With Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" playing over it, the video reached 2.4 million likes, 25.6 thousand comments, and 28.8 thousand shares in less than a week. After all, the young woman mastered styling and achieved an incredible look.
