From Sabrina Carpenter’s bombshell bangs to Jennifer Lawrence’s immaculately styled wispy curtain cut, 2024 was a year for aspirational celebrity fringe trends.
While bangs can get a bad rap for being the result of many impulsive post-breakup moves, there’s nothing quite like the transformative power of a fringe to turn your standard styles into top-tier tresses overnight.
Call us dramatic, but Coco Chanel was onto something when she uttered the words: “A woman who cuts her chair is about to change her life,” for nowhere have hairstyles evolved more than in the fringe department.
But don’t just take our word for it! These celebrity fringe hairstyles prove that fringes are for everyone – no matter your face shape, hair texture or styling prowess.
The Best Celebrity Fringe Styles To Take To The Salon
There are fringes, and then there are fringes, and these banging styles are a guaranteed game changer for anyone looking to level up their locks.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Bombshell Bangs
Sabrina Carpenter’s now-iconic bombshell bangs are the stuff of salon dreams. Making the case for bangs in a big way, ask any celebrity hairstylist or salon owner who their most requested cuts are in reference to – and they’ll likely answer “Sabrina Carpenter“.
It’s not hard to see why. Her face-framing wispy fringe is as chic as it is low-maintenance, offering multiple styling options that suit most face shapes.
According to Jaye Edwards, owner and founder of Edwards & Co, “The trick is to style these bangs so that some of the forehead is still visible, making the look appear effortless and balanced.”
Jennifer Lawrence’s Wispy Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs do for your face what a set of artfully draped curtains does for a window. They are a softer, more adaptable interpretation of straight-across bangs meant to flatter natural bone structure and highlight facial features, such as the eyes or cheekbones.
And as evidenced by Jennifer Lawrence and her envy-inducing locks, a well cut shape that’s gradually blended into its surroundings, goes above and beyond when it comes to offering serious bang for your beauty buck.
Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Boho Fringe
Daisy Edgar-Jones served up serious celebrity fringe inspiration all year round, but it was during her press tour for Twisters that the actress showcased some of her best hair looks yet.
Case in point, this boho fringe that gives off the ultimate French girl feel with its effortless elegance.
Made to feel carefree yet elegant, the tousled style is perfect if you’re after all the fringe benefits without having to commit to a more permanent chop.
Anne Hathaway’s Face Framing Fringe
Anne Hathaway’s fringe has long been admired for its eyebrow-grazing, high fashion feel and undeniable elegance. From her enviable bangs in Devil Wears Prada, to her wispy, come hither hair in The Idea of You, Hathaway’s fringes have rarely dropped from the list of most-emulated styles.
Whitney Peak’s Choppy Curls
Embracing natural texture in hair can work wonders when it comes to incorporating a set of truly chic bangs into your hairstyle repertoire, and Whitney Peak’s no-fuss fringe is the ultimate inspo.
The key to recreating this effortless, unbothered style is to go with the flow, letting loose pieces fall where they land, and embracing the choppy look and feel with a higher-up cut that shapes the face.
Suki Waterhouse’s 70s Style Shag
Over the years, Suki Waterhouse has become somewhat synonymous with textured, seventies-style curtain bangs that look just as good with a styled flick, as they do undone and air-dried to perfection.
