The hottest haircut of 2025 is called the “Nirvana.” Celebrities have been rocking this look on the red carpet—it’s defined by its shoulder-length or collarbone-grazing cut with a blunt finish. The style is effortlessly cool, relaxed, and just a little messy—think Kurt Cobain, but 30 years later, which is where the name comes from.

Sydney Sweeney is the latest star to try the chop, debuting her grunge-inspired midi-bob in Milan. With its textured, piecey ends, the look could’ve been straight out of a ’90s band rehearsal. Jennifer Aniston, Emma Stone, and Isabelle Huppert are also fans (or should we say groupies?) of the style.

“We love this cut,” says stylist Maria Baras, who notes that mid-length styles like this have always been in demand. At her salon, Cheska, clients ask for it regularly. “It’s perfect for anyone who wants a change but isn’t ready to go super short.”

Another reason the Nirvana cut is so popular? “It’s incredibly versatile—it works for most face shapes and can be styled in so many ways,” Baras explains. “It looks great with different partings, pairs well with side-swept bangs, and has enough length to pull back into a ponytail for workouts or a fresh look.” Whether you’re 20 (like Sweeney) or 70 (like Huppert), this cut suits all ages—and we can’t get enough of it.
