In my career as a journalist, I’ve encountered countless hairstyles, including some truly extravagant ones. If you look through my author biography, you’ll see a range of celebrity transformations. Yet, I’ve never witnessed a hairstyle as enormous as Emily Ratajkowski’s recent look—yes, it’s a bold claim, but the hair is even bolder.
Just a day ago, on August 26, 2024, Emily Ratajkowski revealed her latest magazine cover shoot on Instagram, and it might be the most impressive yet. The model graces the cover of Perfect magazine’s Issue 07 with an exceptionally voluminous blowout, crafted by a dedicated team of three.
The hair styling was overseen by Luigi Murenu, with hairstylists Gonn Kinoshita and Lorenzo Barcella adding the final touches to Emily’s oversized locks. This level of beauty artistry is not to be underestimated.
In a follow-up video, someone on set asks Emily four questions. The first question is: “Who are you today?” Emily replies, “My character is inspired by Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren, with the biggest hair I’ve ever had.”
In the 1960s, Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren were renowned not only for their acting but also for their iconic hairstyles, characterized by incredible volume and body. It’s clear that Emily’s cover look draws from this classic inspiration.
Now, one can only wonder what might be hidden beneath all those layers of hair.
