Just a few weeks ago Zohran Mamdani won the mayoralty of New York and since that moment the focus of many people has been on his wife Rama Duwaji. The Syrian artist gives off a very particular style that we could define as New York boho with a lot of French chic, but what is really triumphing about her look is her haircut.
Before being proclaimed first lady of New York, Duwaji sported perfect hair french bobwhich is precisely the most rejuvenating cut of autumn. A hair style that not only looked great on her but also added a lot of style and strength to her looks.
But when we thought that her image couldn't be better, Rama opted for a new hair look change, perhaps to begin this new stage in her life. Now her cut is a bixie but maintaining all its essence. This cut is characterized by having a length intermediate between a Bob and a pixieand in the case of the artist she has kept her bangs short.
For her big night with her husband, stylist Xavier Velásquez was in charge of polishing and styling Rama's new cut, with a flattering and elegant air, but without losing its freshness or charm. The key, beyond the stylish bixie cut, is in the natural texture that Duwaji has in her hair, soft waves that are even noticeable in her bangs.
But the story of her cut is even more interesting, “Rama cut her bangs herself the morning of election day,” Velásquez tells Vogue about the look, which she describes as a pixie cut with its own style.
Although it was Brooklyn-based hairstylist Lauren Sottile who gave Duwaji the original cut about a month ago with a razor. And Xavier has worked on this basis, “my role was to enhance it a little without taking away from its essence as an artist who lives in Queens and lets her hair dry in the air. Rama is 28 years old; I didn't want her to look like the typical wife of a politician,” adds the stylist.
Furthermore, as Velásquez comments, Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Russell and Kelsey Asbille in Yellowstone were some of his references.
