The years may keep coming, but for Kamie Crawford, there’s no style quite like Y2K style.

The model and host took to her Instagram account this week to let her fans know that she’s switching it up in the hair department, debuting a gorgeous new ‘do consisting of a dramatic “off-center” part. As fashion fans already know, this style surged in popularity in the early 2000s, with side parts widely considered a millennial staple in contrast to Gen Z’s preference for middle parts. Still, the hair trend remains as stylish as ever, with Crawford proving that some fads never truly die.

In addition to a new hairstyle, Crawford is also making a strong case for others to ensure 2026 is the year they become the version of themselves they’ve always wanted to be. And—as seen with her off-center part—she’s very talented in the art of persuasion.

Before 2025’s conclusion, the 33-year-old dropped an episode of her podcast Relationshi* w/ Kamie Crawford, which was highly inspiring. She spoke words of encouragement to those still unsure about how to step into a new version of themselves, and challenged those with self-doubt to do it anyway.

“The way that you hustle and the way that you become the thing that you want to be is: you have to present yourself as that thing,” Crawford said on the Dec. 22 episode. “We can’t let the fear of being perceived keep us from being great.”

She went on, encouraging listeners to: “Put yourself out there. Post the content. What are you waiting for?”

With a gust of courage backing them, Crawford sent her fans into the new year ready to transform into their ideal selves—but of course, she didn’t leave them without something to look forward to in 2026, too.

For her most recent podcast episode, the Ohio native invited astrologist Tamerri After to provide insight into what each sign can expect in the coming months. As per After’s predictions, Crawford’s sign (Scorpio) can anticipate a transformational season somewhere down the line, saying, “Scorpios, you’re dissolving old habits, and you’re building new ones.”

Between inspiring her fans ahead of the new year, giving them the motivation they need to move forward with courage and putting them onto the beauty of classic millennial trends, Crawford is setting her fandom up for greatness in 2026.
