Do you want short or long hair? Something masculine or feminine? The mullet is 2021's crossover solution, a controversial hairstyle that's made an unlikely comeback. Since the style's heyday in the 1980s, the cut has been adopted by stars from David Bowie and David Beckham to Zendaya and Rihanna. The mullet was also Billy Ray Cyrus' signature look, which recently also made a splash on daughter Miley Cyrus.
