What can we expect from Coachella 2026 festival style? Hailey Bieber is already hinting at the answer with her latest hair transformation.

Last year, celebrities at Coachella embraced a more minimal and pared-back vibe. However, with 2016 nostalgia on everyone’s minds, we might see a return to peak boho-chic. A sneak peek at Bieber’s beauty prep suggests either direction is possible.

In posts to her Instagram Stories and TikTok on Friday, April 3, the Rhode founder debuted a much longer, blonder hairstyle—achieved with some well-placed extensions. This marks a dramatic change from the bob and lob lengths she has long favored. Her hair now falls to her chest, featuring face-framing, graduated front layers. Lighter blonde shades are woven around her face and through the ends to add dimension.

One photo, taken in her car, shows Bieber fresh-faced while wearing her husband’s merch trucker cap over her new hair, with the light highlighting the honey-blonde tones. In another selfie, she wears a classic glossy Rhode lip combination, showcasing the layered movement of her cut.

Hairstylist Justine Marjan, who cut Bieber’s bob at Christmas and regularly works with stars like Jennifer Lopez and Khloé Kardashian, shared that Bieber was in her chair earlier in the week. Marjan told Vogue, “We did long, wispy layers and face-framing for a fresh, almost early 2000s-inspired haircut with lots of movement.”

The color was done by Los Angeles colorist Matt Rez, known for his signature “midlight” technique that blends highlights with the natural base for a dynamic look without compromising hair health.

Hailey Bieber is no stranger to changing her hair with the seasons. In recent years, however, she has remained loyal to shorter styles, experimenting with ’90s cuts, voluminous lobs (reminiscent of Rachel Green from Friends), and jaw-skimming shapes. Her color has typically stayed within the brunette to caramel lowlight range. This new look is the longest and lightest she has gone in years.

Want to recreate it? Marjan advises, “Ask your stylist for long layers in the back and face-framing that starts around the collarbone in the front.”

Adding extensions and blonde highlights feels perfectly timed for Coachella 2026. This year, her husband Justin has a headline slot, and her beauty brand Rhode will have a major presence at the festival. Having fun with her hair keeps the mood fresh and light—and it offers countless styling possibilities. Will Hailey fully embrace boho-chic? Will she revisit Coachella’s 2016 golden era? We’re eagerly waiting for Hailey Bieber’s Palm Springs “Get Ready With Me.”
