Hollywood glam never goes out of style, and this year’s Globes brought a wave of vintage and modern hair inspiration that works beautifully with bangs:

  • Old Hollywood & Vintage Waves: Sleek, sculpted waves and retro-inspired bobs dominated the red carpet — a great reminder that vintage charm pairs beautifully with many fringe looks. Glamour
  • Structured and Polished Styling: Stylists are leaning toward intentional shaping and smooth silhouettes, perfect if you’re considering side-swept bangs or angled cutsSmudge Report
  • Face-Framing Pieces: Celebrities like Selena Gomez and Ayo Edebiri rocked body-enhancing, face-framing styles — a cue that well-designed bangs can complement everything from bobs to long layers. Glamour
