This Is the Surprise Celebrity Hair Trend of the Week

This Is the Surprise Celebrity Hair Trend of the Week

Bangs seem to be the latest trend in celeb hair tweaks — three famous ladies stepped out over the weekend rocking fresh ‘dos courtesy of their new face framers. Kate Middleton, Lady Gaga and Taraji P. Henson were seen sporting freshly-cut bangs that made us do a double-take; the new fringe make them look so different than what we’re used to seeing, and proved that only a slight snip can make such a massive change.


Baby bangs are one of the boldest bang looks one can opt for — they’re super short, cut bluntly and worn straight across the forehead (no wispy hairs or side-swept styles here). The style on Lady Gaga and Taraji P. Henderson gave their hair a pretty-edgy touch and a high-fashion feel perfect for this time of year (New York Fashion Week, people!). Swooning over the rocker-meets-pin-up-girl vibes like we are? Just remember, there’s no going back for a while since you’ll have to grow them out considerably before they’re anything other than baby bangs, so you must be *really* committed before you make the snip!

Kate Middleton went for a more subtle route with her latest ‘do: wispy, eyebrow-grazing bangs that aren’t just a great fit with her effortlessly lady-like style, but are also super on trend thanks to that sweeping ’70s-era stlye.

Vanity Fair reported that Kate and her bangs made their debut in Scotland, quickly invoking worldwide bang envy (now officially a thing) with her swoopy face framers that add some dimension and shape to her already gorgeous face.

Moral of the story is any style of bangs — long, short, wispy, blunt — is a sure way to transform your look.
