Which Celebrities Wear A Modern Mullet Burst Fade Now?

If you’ve been doomscrolling through TikTok hair trends or stalking red carpet photos, you’ve probably noticed the soft mullet / wolf cut popping up all over the place. I’m the kind of person who saves screenshots of hair I like, asks my stylist for tiny tweaks, and follows salon accounts — so I’ll say up front: a lot of celebrities don’t stick to one exact cut, but many have been photographed rocking a softer, wolf-like mullet lately. Miley Cyrus is the obvious headline act — she essentially lives in mullet territory and frequently swaps between hard and softer versions depending on styling. Dua Lipa has been photographed with a shaggy, layered look that reads like a glam wolf cut on stage and in music videos. Billie Eilish has flirted with shag/mullet hybrids in recent years, leaning into softer texture rather than a choppy punk mullet. On the mens’ side, Harry Styles has cycled through shaggy, mullet-adjacent styles; even when it’s tamed it carries that wolf cut vibe. Halsey is another pop star who’s experimented with mullet/shag blends, giving a more lived-in, soft edge. If you follow K-pop, the list grows: Lisa (BLACKPINK) has popularized wolf-cut-esque looks in several shoots and performances, with wispy layers and face-framing pieces that scream soft wolf. Hyunjin from Stray Kids and Taemin from SHINee (and other idols across the scene) have often worn layered, mullet-adjacent hair that mixes texture and movement — it’s almost become a signature for many idols to switch between ultra-polished and undone wolf cuts. I’ve seen these styles on magazine covers, concert teasers, and paparazzi street shots; hairstylists in clips will even call them ‘wolf cut’ when they texturize the top and taper the back. If you want to compare photos, search recent red carpet galleries, Instagram posts, or hairstylist reels for any of the names above — you’ll quickly pick up the differences between a soft wolf cut (blended layers, feathered fringe, airy texture) and a hard mullet (sharper back, blunt separation). Personally, I love the soft versions because they look lived-in and are forgiving to grow out. If you’re thinking of trying it, bring a few photos to your stylist and ask for feathered layers and texturizing rather than a stark disconnect — it’ll give you that celeb vibe without the commitment of a full-on punk mullet.
