Glenn Close revealed a fresh and softer look this week, stepping away from her usual structured hairstyles for a more relaxed appearance at the Disney Upfront 2025 Red Carpet event.
The 78-year-old actress wore a pastel lemon trouser suit, paired with a new hairstyle that brought a touch of spring to the red carpet. Close traded her signature waved and slicked-back silver hair for a fluffy, face-framing fringe that lightly skimmed her lashes and curled gently at the temples. The overall effect was smooth and shiny, with a modern twist on a classic 1960s style.
The side profile of her hair showed long, voluminous layers that created a vintage Twiggy-inspired shape, updated with texture and movement. One key detail stood out — her side parting. Rather than a centered part, Close opted for a deep, sweeping diagonal part from the far left, adding shape and flattering definition to her look.
Celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas praised the styling choice. “Parting your hair to a different side can make a huge difference without needing a cut. It’s a no-risk, no-commitment tweak,” he said. He added that a diagonal parting avoids an imbalanced look and offers a more subtle shift in style.
Close’s fringe and softly teased crown kept the shape balanced, while the gentle volume at the back added depth. For those looking to recreate a similar style, Douglas recommends using tools like the Mdlondon WAVE heated barrel brush — a favorite of TV presenter Davina McCall — to shape bangs and add volume.
The actress completed her soft glam transformation with a subtle cat eye, diffused liquid liner, velvety rose lipstick, and a hint of dewy blush. The result: a masterful blend of classic elegance and modern flair.
