The allure of “Birkin” bangs has found a new enthusiast in Kelly Clarkson. On October 13, the renowned artist graced the set of her eponymous talk show, debuting a fresh haircut that’s sure to inspire a surge in scissor activity.
In recent years, bangs, much like bobs, have staged a remarkable comeback. Face-framing curtain bangs once dominated your daily “For You” page, but with Clarkson’s new fringe, there’s a palpable shift back to one of the most iconic iterations of this trend.
Inspired by Jane Birkin’s effortlessly chic style, these bangs boast a wispy, piecey finish. Serving as a stylish accessory, Birkin bangs effortlessly enhance low-maintenance hairstyles like messy buns or ponytails, while also complementing more polished looks, such as the stunning waves that accompanied Clarkson’s debut.
For those in pursuit of the ideal bangs style, celebrities like Zendaya, Megan Fox, and Jennifer Lopez have all added their unique twist to the Birkin-inspired look. However, even with these stars as guiding lights, it’s advisable to consult with a professional hairstylist. This ensures that the chosen style harmonizes with your hair texture and face shape.
