Fantasia Barrino can’t get enough of the pixie cut. Since her debut on the American Idol stage in 2004, the singer always finds a way to spruce up her short crop. She’s experimented with textures, colors, and hybrid cuts (remember the pixie mohawk!?), and many know her signature spiky pixie as the “Fantasia cut.” Last night at the Netflix premiere of Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas, the R&B singer stepped onto the red carpet with a new variation—this one with an asymmetrical bang and shaven sides.
Styled by her longtime hairstylist Derickus Crawford, the jet-black haircut tapers to a sharp point right above her left eyebrow. The top of the style rounds down to the more closely shaven sides, and was paired with wispy, spiked strip lashes and soft pink smoky eyes by makeup artist Timothy Clarke, who completed the look with orange-toned blush, soft contouring, and a glossy nude lip.

Haircut aside, there’s a lot of newness on the horizon for Barrino, too. She is the co-lead in Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas alongside R&B singer Tank, marking her fourth movie role since The Color Purple in 2023. She will be co-headlining in “The Love of Soul” tour alongside Anthony Hamilton and October London. But even with movie production and her tour kicking off February 2027, Barrino’s pixie cuts never miss a beat.
