Remember the days of butterfly clips and Y2K fashion? Megan Fox just gave us a major blast from the past with a hyperrealistic upgrade to the iconic butterfly hair accessory, and it’s nothing short of mesmerizing.
Currently in the spotlight for her new book, “Pretty Boys are Poisonous,” Fox showcased her revamped butterfly clips while flaunting a siren red bob that perfectly captured the essence of Y2K styling. The bright blue and pale pink butterflies, pinned delicately to her hair, looked so realistic that they seemed ready to take flight at any moment.
Stylist Dimitris Giannetos, the mastermind behind Fox’s striking look, shared the inspiration behind the style. “I wanted her to look like the Y2K Linda Evangelista,” he revealed. Giannetos expertly used a 1 ¼” curling iron to create subtle bends in Fox’s hair, finishing the look with Uberliss Flexin Hairspray for a touch of texture.
To complement the butterfly-adorned hairstyle, makeup artist Clarissa Luna gave Fox a “monochromatic soft glow” with shimmery rose shades on her lids, cheeks, and lips. The addition of a bold black cat eye and liner in the lower waterlines added a perfect touch of edge and drama, aligning seamlessly with Fox’s signature aesthetic.
The overall effect is a stunning blend of nostalgia and modern glamour, making Fox’s butterfly clip upgrade a true fashion moment. While many may not be rushing to dig out their old butterfly clips, Fox’s reinvention of the late-’90s look undoubtedly evokes a yearning for the carefree days of youth in the best way possible.
