The decision to coordinate their hairstyles is reminiscent of the group’s previous promotions for the single “Nxde,” where they all went blonde, stirring excitement and conversation among their fanbase. Such moves are indicative of (G)I-DLE’s willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of their group’s identity and aesthetic.

While this is not the first time (G)I-DLE has synchronized their style choices, it is notable how each member’s new hairstyle maintains individuality within the group’s cohesive look. The members also have different hair colors, which adds to their individual flair.

The group’s bold choice is a reflection of their music — confident, direct, and impactful. As they continue to promote “Super Lady,” it’s clear that their hair isn’t the only thing that’s been cut short — their ability to surprise and captivate is as sharp as ever.
With (G)I-DLE’s latest style evolution, they continue to set themselves apart in the industry. This new look is not just a statement of fashion but a reaffirmation of their artistic growth and unity as a group. As fans eagerly embrace their idols’ new hairstyles, it’s evident that (G)I-DLE’s influence extends beyond music, shaping the very trends that define the genre.
