Brigitte Bardot might just be our ultimate nostalgic hair icon for 2022 – since her bombshell look is a reference point for countless trending styles, be it her sweeping bangs, golden blonde tones or teased-up styling.
So it's not surprising that Bardot lookalike Shay Sullivan has gone viral with a sweeping new haircut on TikTok, which fuses the 60s star's signature face-framing look with some 90s-esque layers, à la Jennifer Aniston. Can we call it... the Brachel?
Shay headed to Nashville hair salon Oxana for her choppy look, which features lots of layers, a sweeping fringe and a seriously bouncy blow-dry to finish. See the evidence here:

She later revealed exactly what she asked for from her hairdresser in a further video, in which she said: "I got lots of layers all around like I usually do, and then really intense face framing because I really like that dramatic look. Before I had straight-across bangs but I really wanted them more curtain this time, so she just touched up the shape and made them more slanted."
Thousands of TikTokers weighed in on the cut in the comments section, with many unable to decide on the inspiration behind the look. "It’s giving Rachel Greene," one wrote, with another agreeing: "The Rachel? But like jazzed up??? It’s gorgeous."
Others got Barbiecore vibes, while other references included Claudia Schiffer, Goldie Hawn and of course, Brigitte Bardot. "You look like someone straight out of a 60s fashion magazine. Beautiful!" another wrote.
Don't just sit and stare.
As for the bouncy styling, Shay also gave another tip to her followers on keeping her hair voluminous throughout the day. "I use a lot of product! Mousse is my fave product and then texture spray. But everyone’s hair is different," she wrote.
