Celebrity hairstylists reveal which face shape should NEVER jump on the Grammys 'jellyfish hair' trend

Miley Cyrus shocked fans when she arrived at the 2025 Grammys with the latest hair trend - a jellyfish haircut. Miley's hairstylist Bob Recine told Bazaar he re-imagined icon Brigitte Bardot's face-framing bangs to create the trendy style, which included blunt, chin-length face-framing pieces and waist-length hair. Miley wasn't the only one experimenting with the jellyfish cut on the Grammys red carpet.

Billie Eilish, 23, and Lady Gaga, 38, both tried their hand at the edgy, jagged layered shape. The beauty trend first became popular in 2022 when Nicole Kidman sported the unique style. The jellyfish haircut got its name for its resemblance to the aquatic creature, as the outer layer of the hair is shaped into a short bob while the inner layer remains long. The mullet style made waves with Gen Z members on TikTok, and now, it has reached millennials and beyond thanks to the Grammys.

To find out which face shape should avoid the jellyfish hair trend completely, FEMAIL reached out to celebrity hairstylists. Miley Cyrus shocked fans when she arrived at the 2025 Grammys with the latest hair trend - a jellyfish haircut. Lady Gaga, 38, tried the jellyfish haircut when she appeared onstage with Bruno Mars at the Grammy Awards on February 2. The chop has proven quite controversial on X (previously Twitter) as beauty fans were divided after the awards show.

'I'm sorry but that jellyfish haircut is hideous,' one person tweeted. Another mused, 'Some remind me of bad mullets. Others I think are cute. I really feel like it depends on how it's styled.'. Some people were simply excited to see a new hair trend, with one tweeting, 'I've never seen so many stars with the same hair at the same time? I'm not hating, I'm just surprised!'. Celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena told DailyMail.com that the popular jellyfish cut is 'characterized by its shaggy longer back and a shorter multilayered front.'.

Marc explained the hairdo works best for people with oval faces, and is best avoided for those with a round face shape. Marc, who has worked with Mindy Kaling, Ariana Greenblatt, Madelyn Cline, Michelle Randolph and Madelaine Petsch, reminded FEMAIL that 'haircuts frame the face and need to be selected with care and intention.'. 'For rounder faces, a hairstyle that adds height on top or uses longer, softer layers will likely be more flattering, as it creates the illusion of a longer, more oval-shaped face,' the Great Lengths ambassador said.

Billie Eilish, 23, hid her new jellyfish cut under a Prada bucket hat when she walked the red carpet in a gothic sailor-inspired suit. Celebrity hairstylist Mia Santiago told FEMAIL, 'Miley is a goddess and she is always super cool, but this is a trend that I wish would hide back in the ocean.'. 'However, If this a vibe for you, be mindful if you have a round face,' Mia, who has styled Mariska Hargitay, Dove Cameron, and Martha Stewart, agreed. 'The shorter layers can get too round adding width to the face.'.

New York City-based hairstylist Lillybeth Vargas agreed that people with a round face shape may want to avoid this style. 'The heavy bangs and strong horizontal lines of the haircut can accentuate the width of a round face, potentially making it appear fuller,' Lillybeth, who has worked with Brianna LaPaglia, warned. Lillybeth said that people with square shapes should avoid the trend, because the 'strong, angular jawline of a square face might clash with the sharp, layered structure of this cut, making it look overly harsh.'.
