A hairstyle tells a lot about a person — long, choppy, cropped — one’s hairstyle accentuates one’s clothing, style, and most importantly, their personality. This is why bangs are great, and there is a version for almost everybody! Fashionable fringe adds a trendy vibe to nearly every hair length, and mixes up plainer styles for those who don’t want to change their hair drastically. Here are just a few celebrity-approved suggestions.

The Eye Grazing Bang
Katie Holmes shocked everybody when she lopped off her layers, trading in her cascading brunette locks for a chic and classy bob. Instantly, Mrs. Cruise became an admired style icon. When she shortly added full blunt bangs (a fresher take on Anna Wintour’s signature do) her hairstyle became one of the most desired of the season.

The Side Swept Bang
Perhaps one of the most well mannered, elegant actresses of our time, Reese Witherspoon has gone from southern bell to blonde bombshell! At the 2007 Golden Globe Awards, the single mom took a daring chance when she sported side-swept bangs and stick straight, mid-back length locks; a look which frames her quintessential heart shaped face perfectly.

The Heavy Bang
With her dewy skin, raven colored hair and red stained pout, Liv Tyler’s chunky bangs draw attention to her avant garde edge flawlessly. Since her debut in the 1980’s, her beauty has captivated many, and her constant style shifts are greatly appreciated. A New York City denizen, the young mother manages to platform her style in a classic, youthful and free spirited way.

The Piecey Bang
Though her soft, mellow tunes pop up in movies and commercials all the time, singer Chan Marshall (or her stage name, Cat Power) could almost be as well known for her great hairdo as her music! With the piecey bang, almost anyone can look relaxed, creative and trendy just like this singer.
