These 10 Cool-Girl Hairstyles Will Make You Want Bangs STAT

If you’re anything like us, you get a serious case of hair envy every time you scroll through an Insta-feed full of swoon-worthy dos. But nothing has us reaching for the scissors quite like a style featuring It Girl-approved bangs. If they look good on them, they must look good on us, right? We get it. From baby bangs to shaggy styles, bangs are kinda a big deal right now. So if you’re thinking of scheduling an appointment to turn your bang dreams into reality, don’t fret — we’ve got you covered. Here are 10 hairstyles that will make you want bangs ASAP.

1. Long, Angled Bangs: What better way to show off your pastel strands than with an ombre bang that highlights your natural color? Blow your bangs out with a slight angle to soften the overall look.

2. Long, Straight Layers: Want to add some drama to your hairdo? Copy this fashion blogger’s bangin’ do with long, straight strands that feature a fierce set of blunt cut bangs.

3. Wispy: Just because you want bangs doesn’t mean they have to be blunt and bold. Give this season’s shaggy style a test drive with loosely tousled strands that give off major “woke-up-like-this” vibes.

4. Baby Bangs: Guys, remember the ’90s?! Ugh, that was basically an entire decade dedicated to the power of baby bangs. Opt to cut an inch or two above your brows for a unique take on a favorite trend.

5. Side Bangs: Wavy-haired girls, this do’s for you! Get your flirt on with side-swept bangs made of long layers and naturally wavy strands. Whether your hair is cropped and cute or long and lush, this sweet style will get you where you’re going.

6. Just Below the Brow: Yes to all of this. We don’t know what to love more — this Instababe’s choppy long bangs that fall just below her brow or the ah-mazing purple highlights that add just the right amount of edge to this daring do?! Pro tip: Spritz a bit of hairspray onto a comb and brush it through your bangs to keep them in place.

7. Bowl-cut Bangs: If traditional styles aren’t exactly your thang, then bring on the bowl-cut bang to frame your face in the most whimsical way possible. Trust us, they’ll highlight your facial features due to their tight blunt cut around the crown of your head.

8. Curly Bangs: Don’t worry, curly-haired cuties. We didn’t forget about you! Volume is the name of the game with this must-have style. Be adventurous and cut your strands at different angles to give your coiled bangs more height and depth.

9. Short and Sweet: If it’s good enough for Zoey Deschanel, then it’s good enough for us. Keep your strands cropped tight and right to show off some fanciful fringe that is truly a-dork-able.

10. Thick and Full: This hairdo is perfect for ladies who have thinner hair. The thicker you cut your bangs, the fuller they will look. Take it up a notch by asking your stylist for a blunt hairstyle to take your look to a truly head-turning level.

In case you didn’t get the memo, trailblazing’90s combat boots are back with a vengeance this fall. And for good reason. Bigger, badder, and more influencer-approved than ever, these lug-sole stompers are admired for both their don’t-mess-around appeal and their 24/7 tough-girl prowess. The advantage of being worn with mile-long supermodel legs? Not too shabby either. Scroll through for 16 Instababe-approved ways to rock your trusty Doc Martens — we like mom jeans by day and a floral slip dress by night — like a bona fide street MVP.

1. Go a Little Wild: This punk princess is low-key thriving in her teeny-tiny Matrix-worthy frames, raw-hem leopard print pants, and patent-leather combat boots. Dope AF leather beret to go with, please.

2. Rock the Sweater Tuck: We will forever be a fan of the ubiquitous sweater-half-tuck/heavy-duty-stompers combo. Bonus points for this babe’s denim shorts and teddy bear clutch.

4. Femme Meets Punk: Too femme for comfort? Juxtapose a silk dress and classic khaki trench with platform combat boots for a DGAF ‘tude.

5. Red Haute Entrance: Strut. This boss babe’s right on the money with her sheer polka dot slip dress and coordinating red, not to mention dem boots.

11. Daytime Glamour: Black tie-appropriate attire officially includes a tie-shoulder smocked dress (THAT slit) and GI Jane-approved combat boots. TBH, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

12. Dial it Down: Rule #1: Don’t try too hard. Between her messy top knot, circle-shaped raffia bag, mixed-print dress, and thick-soled boots, this cutie nails effortless dressing.

13. Slay in a LWD: The flounce! The femininity! A dose of masculinity à la the boot du jour is exactly what the doc ordered.

14. Make a Statement: Girllll, respect is earned. This HBIC (head babe in charge) is working it in her girl power tee and distressed denim mini.

15. Test-Drive a Summer Suit: All hail the summer co-ord. For an unexpected mash-up — in the boardroom or elsewhere — ditch the power heels for a “ten-hut!” pose and a sophisticated blazer pairing that would do LaParisienne proud.

16. Mad for Plaid: Cher Horowitz-inspired plaid and a midriff-baring top? As if we would miss the opportunity to bring these beloved ’90s classics (Dr. Martens included) into fall ’18.

Emily in Paris season 4 was the buzziest season yet, and for good reason. Emily's in Rome, Camille was never pregnant, and Gabriel's hair went from très hot to tragique. In addition to the viral response to Gabriel's new hair, season 4 left me pretty sad because after four years of waiting for Emily and Gabriel to get together, they almost immediately break up — and actor Lucas Bravo is just as confused as we are.

Carole Bethuel/Netflix

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Lucas Bravo told IndieWire while promoting Mélanie Laurent’s Freedom. “As they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”

Honestly it makes me really sad that a character we all love so much is becoming unrecognizable. But at the same time, it makes me feel a little bit better, because we're not the only ones who feel like Gabriel has changed. And while Lucas has done what he can to bring those early-series aspects of Gabriel back, he says "there is only so much I can do in the limits of a script.”

Netflix

“I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set," he continues. “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5…because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”

Say what now?! If Lucas Bravo leaves Emily in Paris, I truly don't know what I'd do. Gabriel is my favorite character on the show! (Or at least, early Gabriel was.) Seeing him move from 30, flirty, and thriving to someone who's consistently in the middle of an existential crisis doesn't make sense within the world of the show. And even though Lucas thinks the show has a "lack of risk," he still loves everyone involved.

“I love the show. It started everything for me. I love the show and the people in it," he says. "With saying that, I feel like I am not being nice or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be…you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking. But we’ll see where it goes. The show is not over.”

Just like the show's iconic costumes are all about expression and fun, here's hoping Emily in Paris is able to bring some life back into our favorite chef. Because if not, it sounds like we could be nearing the end of the show's most popular would-they-won't-they relationship. Fix this Netflix, I beg you!

What do you think of Lucas Bravo's dilemma? Do you miss season 1 Gabriel? Let us know in the comments and check out the latest Emily in Paris season 5 news.

Millennial pink, we’ll be sad to see you go, but we’ve found a new hue to spice up our summer wardrobe. Step aside Gen-Z yellow (and millennial orange, for that matter) — lime is here to swoop in and steal the spotlight. Described by Man Repeller as a “variation of green that shuffles somewhere between acid and lime,” the polarizing hue is just getting started with early adopters like Reese Blutstein ‘gramming their latest lewks. Coincidence? We think not. (EvenQueen Elizabeth II tried it out in a neon-bright Stewart Parvin coat and Rachel Trevor hat during a recent engagement.) Should you fully commit to a head-to-toe Gumby green ensemble or opt for just a pinch of the buzzy color, scroll through to see how these 16 Instababes are going green.

1. Green With Envy: This blogger babe’s all-green-err’thang aesthetic is inspiring us to dress (err, color) outside the lines this summer.

2. Flouncy Summatime Ruffles: What heat index?! Color enthusiast Monling Lee slays the #OOTD game with her flouncy fluorescent green co-ord and futuristic sunnies.

3. Business Green:The styling here — a Maryam Nassir Zadeh gingham mini layered over an iridescent blouse — is sheer delight if we do say so ourselves.

4. Minty Fresh: It was mint to be. Instagram sensation Reese Blutstein is the epitome of cool with her oversized mint-hued sweater and spearmint skirt.

Waiting for that first G&T of the weekend 😎 Ok I might be home in my PJs already, waiting for #HugoHarrel to go down to tuck into some Netflix action 😜 This week wasn't nearly as productive as I intended it to be, you know these weeks when either your body, your mind or even both are not following the plan at all?? Well we rolled with it, we rested when we could, even chucked in some extra self-care by ways of meditation (although my heart would race and panic when I used to try it for just 5mns, now I'm hooked and need it twice a day, never thought I'd get there 😯 🎉 and it's changing my life, loving the @calm app 🙏🏾), massage (@itsseun told me about @urban_massage, I wanted to try reflexology but there was no woman available for that one, and I wasn't sure about having a man into my house massaging my feet 🤣 I love a foot massage, it makes me make weird noises though 🙈 - so I had a full body one instead and it was great) , lots of journaling, cuddles with friends and rosé (it's officially the season ☀️😎). On these slow weeks, try to extend yourself more love, care and compassion instead of beating yourself up for moving slowly, you'll get your mojo back more quickly, and there's actually more time to reach your goals than social media allows you to think 🙈 [Tap for details - will add links to outfit in my Stories, you won't believe how cheap this set is 😜]

15. Summer Suiting: Somewhere between mint choco chip green and seafoam, you’ll find pixie green. Level up with a menswear-inspired suit in the aforementioned hue for chill vibes all summer long.

16. Zany Stripes: If you’re not rocking electric green stripes (and big flamenco girl skirts), then are you honestly living your best life? Not if Tamu McPherson, the queen of print-mixing and quirky brights, has anything to say about it.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie created reality TV gold when The Simple Life debuted in 2003. Their antics were outlandish, but we couldn't help repeating their iconic phrases like "That's hot" or "Sanasa" during random moments in our own lives.

It's no secret the two didn't really act that way, but their 'characters' left a huge mark on a generation of millennials. "I knew what I was doing but the whole world didn’t, so it was kind of frustrating to me to be perceived in that way because it’s not who I am at all," Paris told People.

Even though she may have felt judged, it seems that Paris Hilton realizes how many people actually loved The Simple Life because she and Nicole Richie are teaming up to film a reunion special that'll debut on Peacock as we speak! Here's everything we know so far!

When did speculations about 'The Simple Life' reboot begin?

NBCUniversal Media

Peacock first shared a video clip on Instagram that hinted something special involving Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is coming in May. A nostalgic TV set with a black and white screen can be seen while our favorite duo's voices can be hearing saying, "Sanasa, Sanasa."

Peacock captioned the post, "New Era. Same Besties. Coming soon to Peacock," and fans could barely contain their excitement. Even celebs like Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry commented on these hot vibes.

Bravo

Then Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram to share more about what fans could expect. She said, "As some of you may know, we are doing a reunion special to celebrate 20 years of our show The Simple Life and it's been so much fun."

Actress Selma Blair shared how much she's looking forward to this by commenting that she's "living for this."

So are we!

What was 'The Simple Life' about?

The Simple Life/20th Century Fox

The Simple Life showed Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they basically traded their wealthy lifestyles for 'everyday' living. Cameras followed them from fast food jobs to dealing with getting out of sticky situations they'd supposedly never experienced. Needless to say, it was hilarious, iconic, and instant reality TV gold.

How long was 'The Simple Life' on air?

Peter Kramer/Getty Images

The Simple Life was on air from 2003 to 2007 with five successful seasons. It seemed like it wasn't going to be hit at first, but it defied expectations. By how much you ask?

According to reporting from The Cut, somewhere around 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's oddball take on daily life. That's a pretty huge deal if you ask us!

When will 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' debut?

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Paris & Nicole: The Encore will premiere on Peacock December 12! The two were previously seen at a Sonic drive-thru yesterday so it can be assumed filming is underway (via People)!

Sporting partial Sonic uniforms, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie added accent pieces that match their signature flairs. Paris wore a pair of reflective sunglasses, silver sequin heels, and added a pink flip phone to front of her blue apron. Nicole wore gold hoops and a pair of slingback pumps alongside her hotdog mascot costume. That's hot (dog).

How does Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie feel about reuniting for a reunion special?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Paris Hilton has expressed how much she loves to be sharing the screen with Nicole Richie again. "I'm so excited to be doing this with Nicole on Peacock. Nicole has been my best friend since we're 2 years old, every memory that I have is with her," (via E! News).

Nicole also posted a few throwback moments from The Simple Life on her Instagram, but the most notable one is the video mashup of them singing "Sanasa, Sanasa" over and over. "20 years ago, not only did we become television stars… we became song writers. Happy Anniversary Sill @parishilton#TheSimpleLife#sannnasaaaaa" she wrote in the caption.

What have Paris and Nicole said about their reunion special?

Peacock

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie sat down with W Magazine to let the world know the Paris & Nicole: The Encore show is on its way! Not only that, but fans can expect to see an Opera version of the show they fell in love with two decades ago. Paris said, "The idea of the opera was unexpected" while Nicole chimed in with, "What people need, even though they don't know it yet, is for 'Sanasa' to be an opera.'"

The two besties came up with the idea via a series of texts that started off as ideas between them. Nicole said everything "came up organically" for the two and we can only imagine the memories this brought up for them. OG influencer Paris even talked about how The Simple Life was an "important show in pop culture history" and we couldn't agree more!

Nicole truly wants people to enjoy themselves while watching Paris & Nicole: The Encore and "find the same joy" she had while filming it. According to Paris, she feels what they have is "magic" because "there's just so much history behind it."

It's not every day that you can get to have fun with your best friend while coming up with long-lasting memories that contribute to pop culture, but Paris and Nicole have always danced to the beat of their own drums. Now we'll get to see them in action again!
