Is that Florence Pugh during the Dune 2 press run? Or Meg Ryan in the ‘90s? That’s the question the British actor had us asking ourselves with her latest look.
Before we get into it, let's recap a little. If you are reading this and were old enough in the ‘90s or if you are a nostalgia enthusiast, then you'd surely remember what the most popular haircuts in the salons were. On one hand, there was the Rachel cut, the character brought to life by actress Jennifer Aniston in the iconic series Friends, and on the other hand, there was Meg Ryan's mixie cut from Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail.
Halfway between a full bob and a half bob, Meg Ryan's look was characterized by a layered cut with a casual, unstructured style — though we later learned that the famous haircut was the result of a mistake by her hairdresser.
Now, it's very clear to us that Florence Pugh could have been inspired by the most famous romantic comedy actress of the '90s, judging by her last appearance to promote the film Dune 2, in which she stars alongside Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet.
During a photocall in London, Pugh has traded in the pixie with a toupee for the Meg Ryan mixie cut, showing off the midi mullet-esque bob with flocked ends and open bangs.
Florence Pugh gave the legendary haircut a grunge edge with a faded ash blonde coloring that showed off her dark roots.
