Chappell Roan just released the long-awaited music video for her new song, "The Subway," and we can't keep our eyes off her cascading Pre-Raphaelite locks.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chappell-roan-mcqueen-dress-ruff-collar-daily-front-row-fashion-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chappell Roan</a> fans can rest a little easier knowing the 27-year-old singer released her single, "The Subway," which she performed at her 2024 Governors Ball set. And along with it, she dropped a buzz-worthy new music video shot on the streets and subway lines of New York City.
The ballad explores Roan's relationship with New York and the heartbreaks that come with falling in and out of love with the city and the people in it. And despite how relatable her lyrics are, there is one element to the new music video that is quite aspirational: Roan's dramatically long Pre-Raphaelite locks. The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer has been known for dramatic tresses throughout her career, as her long, curly red hair has become her signature.
However, she's taken her look to the next level in "The Subway" music video, wearing an endlessly long, wavy wig. Her hair takes center stage in the video, whether her insanely long waves are being dragged by a taxi or she's lying in a sea of her curls while rats scurry in and out of the shot. Roan's hair is unwieldy, and we can only dream of growing such thick, healthy locks.&nbsp;
The Missouri-born singer's hair mimics the look of a woman in a Pre-Raphaelite painting surrounded by glistening water, billowing trees, and, of course, ethereal tresses. And while Roan's locks are just as magical, the pristine natural surroundings of a Pre-Raphaelite painting are replaced with the classic New York scenes of rats, concrete, subway grates, and steam.&nbsp;
While growing our hair to this exaggerated length is close to impossible, we can channel the look by ditching the hot tools and letting our natural textures take center stage. Whether it's Chappell Roan, a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/long-hair-styles-retro-inspired-boho-chic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'70s disco look</a>, or a Pre-Raphaelite painting, there is plenty of inspiration out there on how to achieve a storied mane. So maybe instead of considering a bold chop or a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/blunt-bob-haircut-inspiration-for-thin-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blunt bob</a> for the fall, we can follow the pop star's lead and let our hair grow long and untamed.
