Paris Fashion Week Just Resurrected One Of The Most Controversial Bang Trends


You can always count on fashion month to deliver countless inspiring looks. Week after week, guests dart from one city to another to indulge in runway shows, presentations, and parties. From New York to Milan, the streets are chock-full of covetable hair and makeup ideas, but Paris Fashion Week is unmatched. While top designers are showcasing their latest collections, it’s the beauty moments happening just outside the shows that are capturing the attention of the world. Thus far, the week has brought some modern and classically French hairstyles to light. But baby bangs, in particular, have outshined the others as the city’s standout hair trend.

Defined by their short length and forehead-grazing appearance, baby bangs have become surprisingly popular these days. Kim Kardashian sported a piecy version back in August, and most recently, Zoë Kravitz donned a micro look during the beginning of PFW. Celebrities aside, the streets of Paris further demonstrate just how versatile a short fringe can be. Paired with a range of cuts and lengths, baby bangs are all about transforming any style into a unique look.

From angular and choppy to a modern take on Jane Birkin’s iconic fringe, there’s a lot more to these bangs than meets the eye. Ahead, TZR gathered the best baby bangs spotted during PFW. Keep scrolling for inspiration on how to wear the style.

The mere mention of curtain bangs brings thoughts of flowing hair and softly cut layers, like summer’s trendy butterfly haircut — even on shorter bobs or pixies. But as this attendee proves, the popular style of bangs is just as stunning in a micro length.
