Wavy vs. Sleek: 6 Celebrities Settle the Middle-Part Debate

The street style set may be in agreement that a night out calls for (literally) letting your hair down, but the ’70s-inflected middle parts spotted from New York to Los Angeles over the weekend fell into two equally photogenic camps: wavy versus sleek.

Making the case for soft waves that are haphazardly split down the middle, Emma Roberts’s long finger-raked pieces promised to look even better with a little morning-after texture, while Zoe Saldana’s rippling layers channeled pure Gucci-girl whimsy. Even Bella Hadid put down the fine-toothed comb in favor of a swingy, head-to-toe Charlie’s Angels moment.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley found herself on the other side of the hair debate, offering up a sharper sense of symmetry with a meticulous center part and Old Hollywood waves. Gwyneth Paltrow also reached for the shine serum with a poker-straight blowout, while Lais Ribeiro made every inch count with the help of a flat iron.

Here, six case studies in the new evening polish.
