Earlier this week, Zohran Mamdani won a record-breaking mayoral race in New York City. The moment also marked the first time much of the world encountered his wife, artist Rama Duwaji. (Eagle-eyed Vogue readers, however, may recognize her work from our Fashion Month package highlighting nine garment workers at the top of their field.)
At the campaign’s election party on Tuesday night, the future first lady of New York City wore a top from Palestinian-Jordanian designer Zeid Hijazi and skirt from Ulla Johnson, but it was her signature crop that had our social media algorithm ablaze with excitement.
Duwaji’s dark chocolate hair is cut to a length that falls somewhere between a bob and pixie (it was called a “bixie” when the cut started trending earlier this year) with almost-micro bangs. For her and her husband’s big night, the Syrian-American’s locks were styled by Xavier Velasquez and makeup artist Aya Tariq, who used Dua Lipa-favorite brand KJH.
