BAFTAs 2024: Move Over Middle Partings, Side Partings Are Back And Better Than Ever

Is it time for a side parting renaissance?

POSTED BY HOLLY BEAUMONT

After years of having middle parts dominate the mainstream hair scene, this wave has officially departed and side parts are suddenly everywhere again—and they’re looking more glamorous than ever. The side-parting has had a whirlwind of a time, going in and out of trend, but ultimately being declared ‘uncool’ by Gen Z. First, they were forgotten when we left them all behind in the noughties. Then, they were ridiculed when the next-gen labelled them old-fashioned. 

But, now in 2024, if the celebs are anything to go by, we're firmly back on the side-parting train, with its first major debut at the BAFTA’s 2024. With the likes of Sabrina Elba, Florence Pugh, Dua Lipa and Lily Collins, A-listers who hopped on the strong trend of side-partings, it seems this hairstyle is not going anywhere this season.
