The INSIDER Summary:
- It seems like models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid might have cut their hair.
- On September 6, they walked the runway during New York Fashion Week wearing short pixie hairstyles.
- Many speculate that bobby pins were used to create the illusion of a haircut, and their lengthy tresses are still intact.
- Despite any speculation, fans on Twitter seemed to enjoy their new look.
As fall approaches, it seems like short hair is all the rage — even at this year's New York Fashion Week.
On September 6, models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were spotted on the runway rocking nearly identical pixie cuts. Long, feathery bangs swooped to the side were a standout feature of their chic hairstyles.
The news, which we first read about on Hello Giggles, comes after both walked behind one another during designer Tom Ford's spring/summer 2018 show.

Jenner wore a one-shoulder black dress made out of ruched fabric and sequins. A thick band crossed the upper part of her chest to create an illusion neckline.

Hadid was photographed in a similar pink gown with exaggerated shoulder pads for added drama.

Upon taking a closer look at the photos, however, some speculate that the models' hair might not have been cut at all. Hello Giggles suggested in its original report that the models' ponytails were flipped forward and then pinned to their foreheads could be the secret behind these faux "haircuts."
Regardless of if this claim is true, fans on Twitter aren't complaining one bit.
Perfect hair 😍😍

"Perfect hair," one user wrote to describe Jenner's look.

Another person tweeted, "Gigi hadid just got her hair cut shorter, I feel kinda get affected to [sic]."
A separate user noted the striking resemblance between Jenner and her mother, Kris Jenner, who has had short hair for years.

It's obvious that both models can easily pull off cropped cuts whenever they feel like it. Earlier in February, Self reported that Jenner wore a trendy blunt bob to the spring version of New York Fashion Week while Hadid admittingly faked hers with a half wig in October 2015, according to Elle.
It's unknown if they'll ever take the plunge for a full-on pixie off the runway, but we plan on keeping our eyes out just in case.
