About

The Weeknd's New Look refers to a series of mock comparisons between singer-songwriter The Weeknd's sudden change in hairstyle and other pop-culture figures.

Origin

On September 9th, 2019, The Weeknd tweeted [1] a photograph of himself at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of the film Uncut Gems. The image is likely the first to showcase his new hairstyle, changing his normal look "dreadlocks or a high-top afro with shaved sides."[2] The tweet received more than 164,000 likes and 26,000 retweets in two days (shown below).

Following the release of the film, people began posting comparisons between The Weeknd's look and other pop-culture figures with curly hair and or mustaches. For example, Twitter[3] user @StolenRapMeme compared The Weeknd to Jack Black's character in Nacho Libre. The tweet received more than 1,900 likes and 540 retweets in two days (shown below, left).

Others made jokes about his look. Twitter[4] user @turntmuslim tweeted, "It’s not The Weeknd anymore it’s El fin de la semana." The tweet received more than 19,000 likes and 11,000 retweets in two days (shown below, center).

Throughout the day, others continued to share similar jokes and comparisons (example below, right).

Several media outlets covered the reaction to the haircut, including The Washington Post,[5] Complex,[6] Marie Claire[7] and more.
