Gigi Hadid is officially the millennial answer to Brigitte Bardot. The supermodel stepped out in New York City yesterday with her trademark bombshell blonde hair bound in a modern bouffant, strands raked back into a half-up knot—with plenty of volume at the crown and loose long layers framing her face. Coupled with a subtle flick of black liner, cool pink lip color, and darkened brows, the look called to mind a ’60s-era Bardot and spoke to the duo’s uncanny resemblance.

Though yesterday’s styling was more referential than Hadid’s usual arsenal of blowouts and ponytails, the comparison is a natural one: Each woman injects her glamorous above-the-neck sensuality with a certain effortlessness. It seems that some qualities—like spirit, self-possession, and onyx-edged eyes—never go out of style.
