Have you heard the news? The side fringe is back. Though stars like Kim Kardashian are rocking a fuller-bodied version, some celebrities are taking inspiration from ’50s icon, Audrey Hepburn and going down the micro-fringe path. Unlike the styling admin that most fringes require, due to the minimal amount of hair involved, this lightweight, layered, half-moon shape doesn’t need more than a quick blast with the blow dryer to keep it looking good. A fringe benefit (sorry, had to) which we know will appeal to many of you at home.
Tempted to experiment? You’re not alone. Here are all the celebrities that have rocked the Hepburn bangs, from Audrey herself in the ’50s to the present day.
Audrey Hepburn
We love Audrey for a multitude a reasons but her micro-fringe definitely makes the top three. And from the bevvy of celebs you’ll come across as you scroll down this page, you’ll quickly realise we aren’t the only ones.
Zoë Kravitz
From one Hollywood icon to another, Zoë channelled her inner Audrey at this year’s Oscars party and nailed the brief. Her soft micro-bangs rivalled the original and the sharp bone structure certainly didn’t hurt either.
Emma Watson
It turns out Emma and Audrey have more in common than just starring in heavily quoted movies; they’ve both worn a micro-bangs. And worn them well.
Halle Berry
She’s a woman who frequents our hair transformations roundup, so it should come as no surprise that Halle has taken part in the Hepburn bangs trend.
Bella Hadid
Just it-girls doing it-girl things. If you still weren’t convinced that this trend was truly a trend, consult Bella Hadid.
What do you think about the Hepburn bangs? Keen to test out the trend for yourself?
Last time I had a fringe I was in primary school, it really doesn’t suit me.
I’m way too scared to even try it in case it doesn’t suit me. It would be so frustrating waiting for it to grow out!
Me too, I’ve had short hair before and it took such a long time to grow out, not doing that again for a while
The problem being that once your hair has been cut so short is how long will it be before it grows again!!
My hair grows really fast but this style is not for me
Months at least!!
i have to agree
It takes so long for it to grow out. I remember this feeling!
Never. Would not go there
: )
same aha
Same here, I agree.
I personally can’t stand it.
I think Zoe pulled it off the best
Agree.
Girl can do no wrong
Personally though I would never get this done myself. I would look ridiculous haha
I think I would look silly.,
same here
My husband would laugh so hard at me if I did this!
Audrey Hepburn was so beautiful.
She is stunning!
Audrey & Zoe can pull it off, but it’s not a look for everyone.
No, bangs are not for me.
Not for me either
i cant rock it either
I tried it once and I looked terrible.
Ill keep my opinion on this fringe to myself 🤐
That says it all -LOL
so funny Izzy! Yes I understand. : )
Ahahaha
lolol
Haha I get it.
Look’s cute on these ladies, but I don’t think it is a universal cut
no i agree
agreed all the way
Definitely not a style that suits everyone!
Mt face is too small for bangs -Audrey Hepburn had the most beautiful eyes and could wear any style
I think it might suit me but I’ve never dared having a fringe that short! Can look funny if it’s not done right by a good hairdresser I think – I like it on Emma the best
That’s really nice to be here by knowing the best and style of hairs
Zoe Kravitz and Halley Berry really rock this look
they doo!!
I don’t think it suits Halle as much as Zoe. She’s still beautiful though.
It suited Audrey, but I don’t think it suits the other ladies. It looks harsh.
I don’t like that look at all.
Zoe Kravitz looks just like her
righhht
Audrey was so lovely
That is a nice haircut for smaller faces
agreed l need my face framing stands
At the moment my hair has a side part and the hair that I put too the side is so much like Audrey Hepburn’s. Hoping to grow it out at the moment it hasn’t been easy, especially when you have days like “My Hair Won’t Sit Right” so very frustrating growing it out hopefully I can get it to the length I like to get a beautiful Bob Hairstyle.
I don’t think they’re flattering. I just have an ordinary fringe. Covers my large forehead and wrinkles.
Audrey is the winner here, what stunning woman in every way.
Yes I totally agree!
Id never try this hair style, id look like a joke
It’s a no from me
same
This isn’t my favorite hair cut, though there’s no doubt many of these celebs look great with it.
same here too much commitment
there’s no going back after. I’d cry
I love Audrey! Stunning.
Can’t bear the original. No one can pull that off like Audrey Hepburn.
Zoe looks absolutely amazing with a fringe
Personally I am not a fan – it looks like the chop went wrong! It suits certain face shapes, but definitely wouldn’t suit me.
Interesting and different.
I will not try this.
Zoe channels it so well! Love her look.
The bangs look great on Zoe Kravitz with her amazing cheekbones!
I loved it on Audrey, it wouldn’t suit me though.
I don’t think I can pull of this look. The fringe is a little too short.
I think Audrey looks the best with this look. The others are ok but not sure I would look twice.
Still under moderation.
Is it twice?
Maybe best?
Maybe Audrey?
The word A u drey is moderated!
Actually A u d r e y, including the last four letters.
So weird! Why??
I have a longer fringethat hangs past the cheek bones, the shorter above brows one looks silly on me.
I like Zoe’s hair, but the others look awful 🙁
