A British shag gone wrong

Getting a haircut can be one of those thrilling yet nerve-wracking experiences. You know the drill: Will it look good? What if I hate it? Did I really just make this big change? Usually, things turn out just fine, but once in a while, we end up with a haircut that wasn’t exactly what we had in mind. Unfortunately for Emily Ratajkowski, that was her reality.

The 33-year-old model and podcast host recently took to TikTok to share her reaction to what she called “the worst haircut of my life.” In the video posted in the eve of March 25, Emily started by explaining that she had a filter on, saying, “I have a filter on because I have the worst haircut of my life and I need to feel pretty.” She then gave fans a full reveal, showing off her new fringe with a dramatic, “Oh, you thought I was being funny?” as she pulled the fringe forward.

“Is it giving member of The Dare? Is it giving Karen O? Is it giving Italian?” she joked, pulling her hair around to show off the bangs in the back of her head. Emily added that the stylist—whom she described as “a very nice man”—was likely going for a British shaggy style, but, as she humorously put it, “the main thing is it’s just not me. Shocking.”

In the comments, Emily explained that the inspiration for the cut was a previous look she had done with the same stylist. She clarified, “Myself, literally myself. He said, ‘Let’s bring back the bangs you had last time we worked together.’ It wasn’t this. No, it was not.”

TikTok stars and famous names flooded the comment section with their reactions. Actress Julia Fox expressed her sympathy by saying, “No cuz I’m so mad for u rn,” while influencer Victoria Paris asked, “Need to know what inspo picture u showed to get this.” And model Amelia Gray posted a hilarious comment, saying, “No I’m crying at this narration.”

But, like any true pro, Emily made the best of the situation. She followed up the post with another video where her hair was styled in loose waves as she lip-synced to a sound from Fleabag. The comments were full of reassurance. “It’s growing on me, I think,” TV personality Dylan Mulvaney wrote.

Way to shake it off, Emily. Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself and roll with the punches.
