If there’s one woman who knows her way around all manner of hairstyles, it’s Monica Bellucci. When it comes to her hair, the 56-year-old model and actress has done it all: long locks; a fringe; tight curls, and most recently, a short and choppy bob-meets-lob – a sleek “shag”, if you will. Bellucci’s secret? Keeping her colour uniform and her hair ultra-shiny, while letting the cut do the talking. From the ultimate flattering fringe to her long, tumbling lengths, British Vogue spotlights 18 of Bellucci’s best and most beautiful hair looks.
