Hollywood is providing the most resounding rebuttal to the middle versus side-part debate yet—on one of the biggest nights in entertainment, no less. The 2025 Emmy Awards are currently underway, and some of Hollywood’s biggest names are hoping to take home one of those coveted trophies. That being said, the red carpet arrivals are a show in and of themselves, and the one beauty moment that’s already dominating the night? Side parts.
Spotted on people like Desi Lydic and Chase Sui Wonders, side parts are undoubtedly the best accessory to what is shaping up to be a larger trend throughout the night: Old Hollywood hair. Lydic was joined by other actresses like Jackie Tohn, Shabana Azeez, and Erika L. Johnson, all of whom paired their side parts with bombshell curls and waves. Sui Wonders coupled her side part with an elegant updo, and other actresses, like Aliyah Mastin and Britt Lower, followed suit. There was even a side-part fingerwave moment, courtesy of Matlock star Skye P. Marshall. In short, side parts are having a renaissance.
