Supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid debuted bold new looks Monday, storming a New York runway with bleached eyebrows, short bangs and -- what appeared to be -- half-shaved heads.

At Marc Jacobs’s fall 2022 show, Bella Hadid debuted her most extreme look yet, courtesy of hairstylist Duffy, featuring jet-black hair with angular bangs completely shaved along the sides. Gigi Hadid shared a similar look from the show with the caption “Anything for Marc .”

Gigi and Bella Hadid have sparked mixed reactions and many fans have questioned the model’s hairstyle. On Instagram, where Bella shared a behind-the-scenes look at the transformation, one person commented, “Please tell me it’s a wig”.

While another said: “Bella I love you, but what is that…” 

However, others revealed that they were fans of the unique hairstyle, with someone else commenting: “I’m loving this look for you.”

“Only person who can rock this look,” another person claimed.

While Bella and Gigi’s hairstyles were not permanent, this was not the first time the models displayed a style transformation on the runway.

For Versace's 2021 fashion show, Gigi rocked a long red hairstyle and she appeared on the runway of Ralph Lauren's Autumn/Winter 2022 show with platinum blonde hair.

Makeup artist Noël Jacoboni, who worked as the key SFX makeup artist for the show, also shared a look at the transformation process on Instagram, where she shared photos of the sisters walking in the show, as well as one of Gigi backstage with her head covered in a bald cap prosthetic before her wig was placed.

“Today was the perfect marriage of my ability to do a bald cap as well as work for one of my favourite designers with some of the top models in the industry,” the makeup artist wrote in the caption, adding that the entire experience was “surreal”.

The futuristic styling was part of Marc Jacobs' Fall 2022 show, which saw the designer's eponymous brand unveil over 40 new looks at the New York Public Library, a Beaux-Arts style building on Fifth Avenue. Gigi modeled an enormous pink sweater and gray skirt, while Bella was dressed in a black vinyl dress with opera gloves.

Elsewhere in the presentation, models wore brightly colored, monochromatic garments that spanned outsized knitwear, voluminous ruffled gowns and dramatic platform boots. The Hadids were among several models walking the runway in dramatic hairstyles, with others seen sporting sharp bobs and space-age bangs.

Following the show, Marc Jacobs revealed that the theme of the exhibition was "choice," with the designer sharing a statement on Instagram.

He wrote: "Choice. Amidst an ever-changing landscape of resources, unexpected obstacles, and a world feverishly digitizing new standards of reality, my sentiment is unwavering - creativity is essential to living."

"We share our choices in contrast to the ongoing brutality and ugliness of a world beyond our insulated but not impermeable walls," he continued.

The fashion designer then ended his statement with a quote from German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, which read: "We have art in order not to die of the truth."

If America’s Next Top Model has taught us anything, it’s that the occasional extreme makeover is part of model life.
