The cool-girl calling card for every 12-year-old hosting a slumber party was to pop a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie or The Parent Trap into the VCR player. In 2017, however, the world’s obsession with "twinning" comes by way of platinum, micro-short haircuts. In the last few months alone, it seems like just about every celebrity has chopped, buzzed, and bleached their hair. (Including Katy Perry, Cara Delevingne, Zoë Kravitz, Kristin Stewart, and Justin Bieber, to name a few...)
So what happens when two of them meet IRL — twinning like they're one friendship bracelet short of BFF status? Thanks to Perry and Delevingne, we just found out. When the singer and the actress/model bumped into each other at the Chanel Haute Couture show in Paris on the Fourth of July, Twitter had a meltdown. The matching necklaces! The icy blond hair! The porcelain skin! Call it the fashion world's equivalent of a fireworks show, worthy of all the attention — not to mention, hundreds of memes.

Before long, Kristen Stewart, joined the same Chanel party and posed for a few pictures — sending the twinning moment into full-fledged triplet mode.

To be clear, there's no such thing as "owning" a hairstyle like this — so you can stop with the "who wore it better" and "who had it firsts." (And, while we're on the subject, the same goes for Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez.) What is obvious is that this no-fuss cut is perfect for surviving a hot Parisian summer with minimal heat tools. And it works on any skin tone, hair texture, or personal style. In fact, it's giving even the long-haired among us a serious case for finally making the plunge this summer.
