Elle Fanning’s New Bangs Make Her Look Just Like Brigette Bardot

Elle Fanning’s New Bangs Make Her Look Just Like Brigette Bardot

Whether it’s a curtain fringe (so hot right now!) or baby bangs, cutting the hair that frames your eyes has the power to change up your whole look. If you need an example of truly transformative bangs, look no further than Elle Fanning.


The Neon Demon actress has been rocking a perfectly centered part for as long as we can remember, but on Monday night, the 19-year-old took to the stage at the InStyle awards in LA to accept her award for Breakthrough Style Star of 2017 looking like a whole new woman.

The younger sister to Dakota Fanning showed up with a perfectly teased platinum ‘do featuring wispy new bangs that grazed her eyebrows. Her hairstylist Jenda dubbed the sultry new look, “Barbie + Bardot + ‘90s Schiffer”.

“I’m still that 13-year-old fangirling over your ‘90s Kate and Bardot,” the How to Talk to Girls at Parties actress shared on her Instagram page.

It’s not hard to see the resemblance between Fanning and the French screen siren Brigette Bardot, who wore the iconic hairstyle back in her ‘60s heyday.
