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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
