What happened
Penny Lancaster recently captured attention with a hairstyle reminiscent of her supermodel days in the 1990s. At an event where she received the Freedom of the City of London, her glossy blonde blowout took center stage. The style features shoulder-length waves with outward-curving face-framing pieces combined with ends curling inward, creating a polished and voluminous look.
Top hairstylist Jonathan Andrew, a Global Ambassador for Fudge Professional, highlighted the hairstyle’s classic ’90s qualities while noting its modern update through a healthier shine and softer finish. This makes the look feel current rather than dated, combining nostalgic glamour with a fresh vitality.
Why it feels good
The ’90s supermodel blowout is celebrated for embracing softness, volume, and glamour without resisting natural hair texture. Jonathan explains the style’s timeless appeal lies in its ability to enhance face shape and add dimension, which is especially flattering for mature hair that changes with age.
Penny’s example shows that a layered, glossy blowdry can create the illusion of thicker, healthier hair by focusing on hydration and shine. This confidence-boosting look is accessible at any age and complements the natural evolution of hair, making it an enduring beauty favorite.
What to enjoy or watch next
For those eager to recreate Penny’s iconic blowout at home, preparation is key. Jonathan advises starting with moisture-boosting shampoos and conditioners, like those from the Fudge Professional Mirror Gloss range, to enhance hydration and shine. A lightweight pre-blow dry spray supports the style by protecting hair, controlling frizz, and maintaining shine without added weight.
When styling, using a powerful hairdryer partnered with radial bristle brushes helps build root volume and smooth lengths. Sectioning the hair and directing each part upward with steady brush tension preserves movement while medium heat maintains the hair’s health and gloss. Making sure hair is completely dry ensures lasting volume and keeps the style fresh throughout the day.
