Bella Hadid's Wispy Full Bangs Are Winter's Next Big Trend
What do Daisy Edgar-Jones, Dakota Johnson, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bella Hadid all have in common? Beyond being four of the nation’s most looked-to celebrities for their sartorial influence, beauty steer and beyond, they’re all rocking a seriously chic set of bangs right now.
Hadid, the latest to join the bangs brigade, was spotted in Dubai earlier this week at an event celebrating her ambassadorship with jewellery brand Chopard and its new Ice Cube campaign—where she also debuted her freshly cut birkin bangs.

In anticipation of winter, the model and Orebella founder snipped an A-line fringe to complement her layered raven locks. The genius behind the cut, celebrity hairstylist Syd Hayes, managed to capture the essence of nearly every trending bang style in one look.
Much like the coveted curtain bang, Hadid's fringe is heavier near her temples and surpasses her eyebrows, but gradually tapers to a near-micro fringe in the centre. With its piece-y, bedroom-y texture, it blurs the lines between curtain bangs, a micro fringe, and a full fringe—all at once. The rest of Hadid’s hair was kept semi-straight with an undone texture throughout.
If you've found yourself torn between the many bang styles trending right now, unsure which one suits you best, this might just be the answer. For those who love the coverage a full fringe offers but are put off by its typical boxy, one-length appearance, consider adding a wispy, fluffy centrepiece. This subtle detail will bring dimension to the style while still maintaining that soft, flattering fullness. And as the bangs grow out, they’ll naturally evolve into an equally loveable, classic curtain bang—low maintenance and low commitment.
From ‘Sexy Librarian Bangs’ monikers to comparisons with Cher's iconic fringe in the 60s, Hadid’s new style has already captured attention. But one thing Hadid excels at is making a look undeniably her own, and given her influence, it’s clear this versatile fringe is poised to dominate this winter.
