Bored of middle partings? Michelle Pfeiffer's side-swept hair radiates effortless chic

Michelle Pfeiffer is seen with side-swept hair and wearing a black blazer and white silk shirt as TCM honours her with the Hand and Footprint Ceremony at TCL Chinese Theatre on April 25, 2025 in Hollywood, California/ in a pink watercolour paint-style template.

With natural texture and soft waves heading up the spring/summer trends, we were already preparing to retire our trusty curling irons, but after seeing Michelle Pfeiffer's side-swept hair, it seems we'll be bidding farewell to our middle partings too.

While the 2025 hair trends promised (and delivered) many a tailored fringe and bob cut, 'undone' styles, such as barely-there ghost waves, have also taken off. This influx of texture has coincided with the revival of a rather underrated parting, which, when paired together, creates the chicest of hairstyles. Side-swept hair is a timeless look and one of the easiest ways to refresh your strands without the need for a dramatic cut. As Michelle Pfeiffer's hair proves, this parting affords a sense of effortless elegance that is hard to capture in any other haircut or style.
