Deep in our hearts, we always knew this moment would come. At the end of the terrible retro wave of the nineties, after the pouches and choker chains and low-cut pants, the doomsday weapon is patiently waiting – the one designed to prove that even years of regrets and slanders do not protect against the cyclical power of fashion: the thin eyebrows are here again.
To their credit, they did a long preparation for us and gradually spread the news – starting with Instagram curiosities through edgy fashion productions and ending with the last fashion month, during which they registered a presence on almost every runway. Doja Kat has been walking around with shaved eyebrows for a while now, in keeping with her cropped haircut, but she is still associated with a subversive fashion audacity.
So when a gentle blonde princess like Nicola Peltz Beckham appears on the red carpet in a classic black strapless dress, elegantly collected hair and eyebrows so thin as to be invisible – this is probably the signal for the official announcement of the trend’s return.
Quite symbolic, considering that this is the new bride of someone who is particularly associated with those happy years and those plucked eyebrows – Victoria Beckham, who was also quick to re-embrace the idea on the runway of her latest collection. Heaven forbid, it even… looks… not bad?
You can think about it some more, but the really good news is that we’re not in the nineties anymore after all. The range of products, tricks and Tiktok videos on the subject allows you to experiment with an idea in a non-binding and tweezer-free segment.
A closer look at Nicola will reveal that she didn’t really part with her natural eyebrows either, but only made them temporarily invisible. In short, don’t throw away the gel and the brush just yet. But maybe we can start putting the pencils and the dark shadows.
