Along with crisp buns and squared-off bangs, models at Christopher John Rogers’s Fall/Winter 2025 show wore sleek side-parts that ranged from bobs to chest-length styles. “The inspiration is definitely a strong woman who knows what she wants,” lead stylist Sonny Molina for Bumble and Bumble tells Bazaar. “She’s making bold choices with her hair, but she’s also really refined and polished. Aside from that, me, Chris, and the team mesh well, so we were having lots of fun experimenting. There’s lots of color-blocking with different shapes and colors, so I think the hair reflects the garments in a different type of way.”

“The hair is intended to look two days old, which is always a little complicated. It looks easy, but it’s not,” celebrity stylist Frank Rizzieri explains of Kallmeyer’s seemingly simple hair looks. “It’s just a matter of the products you put in it. For Aveda, we used their Universal Styling Cream, which is very light and just absorbs into the hair and doesn’t make it sticky or greasy looking.” Rizzieri and team then crafted extremely low ponytails that were tied with a single ribbon and face-framing tendrils.
