Michelle Keegan reveals ‘Rachel’-style haircut: Report

Michelle Keegan has turned heads with a major hair transformation that appears to take cues from the legendary “Rachel” haircut popularised by Friends character Rachel Green, a layered, face-framing style that became a 1990s cultural phenomenon.

The Coronation Street and Our Girl alum, known for her versatile onscreen roles and rising profile, was recently seen sporting the layered shoulder-length cut with subtle volume around the face, a look many fashion watchers link to the classic Jennifer Aniston hairstyle that once sparked a global salon trend.

Keegan’s refreshed style arrives amid growing buzz about her increasing appeal beyond UK screens and speculation she might be courting roles suited to the style-savvy glamour associated with Hollywood’s leading women. 

According to Daily Mail, fans and commentators have drawn comparisons to the type of looks embraced by American stars such as Reese Witherspoon, whose own screen persona often blends classic beauty with contemporary polish.

Moreover, the new haircut, with its soft layers and effortless movement, is being seen as part of a broader effort by Keegan to refresh her image as she continues to expand her career into global projects, potentially including future film and television opportunities in the United States.
