Unleash your free-spirited, strong and confident self with blunt bangs. To help with inspiration, here are 25 different celebrity styles for your new blunt bangs.
Celebrity Blunt Bangs Hairstyles
Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland is at the top of our list for superstars rocking the blunt bangs trend. The bangs are an attractive finishing touch to her soft-and-natural makeup. Paired with a honey-brown bob, Rowland makes us swoon for this trend.
Madelaine Petsch
At the Met Gala this year, Madelaine Petsch debuted a blunt bang look for her signature fiery red locks. Offset by her whimsical mint green, Camp-themed fairy gown, the bangs were a beautiful addition to the look. The rest of her hair fell straight down her back. The bangs are radically different from her everyday wavy hair, but we love them on her.
Rowan Blanchard
Also a fan of short shag hair, Rowan Blanchard shows off her blunt bangs hairstyle for the 2019 New York Fashion Week. If you’re not ready to take the plunge, you can always opt for faux fringe clip-ins like Rowan did here.
Barbie Ferreira
“Euphoria” actress Barbie Ferreira’s new blunt bangs take her whole look to new heights. They are cut very short, putting her gorgeous face on full display. The hairstyle is edgy on her, especially when paired with her dark makeup.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande went through a period of pairing her signature high ponytail with blunt bangs. As a trendsetter, Grande has been seen sporting hand tattoos, in addition to blunt bangs. We suppose her high ponytail is more manageable as a signature style, but hope to see her blunt bangs make another appearance soon.
Maisie Williams
“Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams is the poster child for the blunt bangs trend. Her soft, pink-blonde hair is the ideal canvas for her bangs. Williams knows that blunt bangs and bold brows are the best trends to wear together, and we can’t complain at all.
Halsey
Halsey takes her blunt bangs in a new direction by adding a colorful rainbow to them. Paired with her normally black bob, the colors are juxtaposed beautifully. Halsey looks fantastic with any hairstyle—even wispy bangs, but she really embraces herself with this one.
Vanessa Hudgens
Actress Vanessa Hudgens shows off her French girl bob and blunt bangs style during a press tour. The blunt bangs make a bold statement that complements her short hairstyle.
Bella Hadid
Model Bella Hadid rocked her blunt bangs back in early 2018, paying homage to the more vintage stylings of the look. With her classic facial structure, blunt bangs and a tightly knotted ponytail enunciate the sharpness of her cheekbones and create a look reminiscent of young Audrey Hepburn. Talk about a sexy and intense “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Kendall Jenner
Speaking of Audrey Hepburn, take a look at how similar Kendall Jenner looks to her with blunt bangs. Yes, they are cut extremely high on her forehead, but Jenner’s imitation of the blunt bangs would be considered the best form of flattery for Hepburn. Paired with a bold red lip and dark-angled brows, Kendall Jenner is a classic beauty with these trendy blunt bangs.
Tika Sumpter
As Tika Sumpter prepares for the release of her new show, “Mixed-ish,” she allows a grand entrance for her blunt bangs. Her hair shines and reflects the light from her glowing mustard-colored gown. The blunt bangs trend is beautiful on Sumpter and brings attention to her sharp cheekbones.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj’s blunt bangs took a front-row seat while she showed them off with her FENDI collaboration. They look impossibly sexy on her, balancing out her whole look. Blunt bangs add a whole new level of chic to Minaj’s typically eccentric style.
Kerry Washington
“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington looks elegant with her blunt bangs. She wore the trend with a sleek to the 2017 Met Gala.
Zendaya
Zendaya’s blunt bangs made an appearance with her 2018 Met Gala Joan of Arc look, and they are honestly one of my favorite looks on her to date. The bangs were fierce and unexpected. She pairs them with a textured orange bob; a dazzling image. Zendaya is well known for her bold fashion statements— think curly bangs and green pants— and this blunt bang hairstyle was definitely one of them.
Dove Cameron
Dove Cameron’s blonde locks took a short break in mid-May to lend room to a black hair and blunt bangs look. While this is a wig, the bangs lend her a more exotic and ethereal appearance and look amazing against her baby blues. The rest of her hair falls back around her face in a fierce, blunt bob.
Naomi Campbell
Supermodel Naomi Campbell debuted her own blunt bangs this year in early April on the red carpet for TIME Magazine’s 100 celebration. The bangs fall directly into her eyes, bringing the well-deserved attention there. The sleek bob she pairs them with is stunning on her, not to mention chic.
Ciara
Ciara with her blunt bangs is one of the most chic versions of the trend we have seen. This look is one for our book of style-favorites because it accentuates her best features: eyes, lips and jawline.
Dua Lipa
Singer Dua Lipa debuted her bold, blunt bangs at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris in late September. The blunt bob goes perfectly with her blunt bangs. Worn with her black-on-black attire, she is serving looks left and right.
Kelly Osborne
Kelly Osbourne is constantly changing her hair, and her newest look is none other than blunt bangs (and lavender no less). While the bangs lay about an inch above her eyebrows, I think this is a great hairstyle for her. Paired with a soft bob, the bangs balance the curve of her jawline.
Rooney Mara
Actress Rooney Mara debuted blunt bangs at the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Mara’s sleek blunt bangs hairstyle was inspired by her role in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” where she played Lisbeth, a tattoo-laden computer hacker.
