Is Blackpink member Lisa’s ‘hime cut’ the next big hairstyle trend? She wore it the How You Like That music video and Twice’s Momo is a fan, but where did the Japanese anime look come from?
- The ‘hime cut’ has been making its way through K-pop girl bands and Instagram, but it was originally worn by noblewomen in Heian Japan
- Japanese actress, singer and model Megumi Asaoka popularised the look in the 70s, it crops up in countless classic manga series and even Cher gave it a go
