Trend Alert: The Full-Fringed Lob

Jessica Cruel — Thu, 02 May 2013 07:59:02 EST

The lob is the hottest new hair trend, but now it seems Alice Eve and Nicole Richie are already giving the look an update. Both ladies were spotted recently with full-on fringe to accompany their long bob haircuts. Alice pulled out her brow-grazing bangs to promote Star Trek Into Darkness in Berlin, where she paired the look with a bright red lipstick. Yesterday at the AOL 2013 Digital Content NewFront, Nicole debuted thick blunt bangs that sweep deep down to her lashes. A long bob plus a long bang equals a stylish match this season.

How to Style In-Between Bangs à la Cate Blanchett

Jessica Cruel — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 07:14:13 EST

Last night, Cate Blanchett's sideswept bangs defied gravity at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards. The look was similar to Farrah Fawcett's famous flip, but a much more modern take. Her sleek side ponytail paired with face-framing bangs is a winning style for growing out your blunt bangs. To re-create Cate's sideswept look, sweep all your bangs to one side and then curl hair away from the face and to the side. You'll create more of a flip instead of a curl. Then use a comb to feather out. Finally, hit bangs with a shot of hair spray like L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Normal Strength Hairspray ($9.99) to ensure bangs stay in place all night. With such a dramatic swoop over one eye, Cate kept her makeup neutral with matching rosy lips and cheeks.

Jessica Cruel — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 07:43:56 EST

It has been a busy inauguration weekend for Michelle Obama . . . and her brand-new bangs. Michelle debuted the new cut on her birthday via the new FLOTUS Twitter account. Everyone has had something to say about the trim, even her husband. "I love Michelle Obama," the president said. "And to address the most significant event of this weekend: I love her bangs. She looks good - she always looks good." While the first lady may be the newest member of the blunt-bang club, other notable women seem to be jumping on the fringe trend, including Kate Middleton. Some are anticipating which designers Michelle will be wearing throughout Inauguration Day (or the Tour of the Bangs), but we can't wait to see how many different face-framing styles the FLOTUS will debut.

Celebrities celebrated the new year in cropped tops . . . er, bangs, we mean. The blunt bang trend is one that never really goes out of style, and these ladies proved that the look can be dressed up or down. Brandy Norwood wore short, piecey bangs for her NYE performance, which allowed her to show off glamorous eye makeup. On the other hand, Taylor Swift set off her longer fringe with a smoky under-eye and full lashes. Kerry Washington also wore blunt bangs, which she paired with straight hair that was both casual and cool.

Beyoncé Knowles, ever the hair chameleon, updated her hairstyle to match this season's trends. While she sported casual waves and polished curls throughout the past few months, she premiered blunt bangs and pin-straight strands at the Nets season opener over the weekend. This isn't the first time Beyoncé has worn straight-across fringe. But for a casual date night with husband Jay-Z, she paired her face-framing cut with a cat eyeliner and bold brows. A little bit of pink lip gloss, lavender nail polish, and a geometric Tibi jumpsuit completed the look. If you're looking to change your look this Summer, take note of Beyoncé's on-trend hairstyle.
