Film gala in Los Angeles, model and actor Cara Delevingne debuted a fresh take on a classic hairstyle. She wore short, curly baby bangs inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s famous look in the black-and-white film Roman Holiday.
In the movie, Hepburn’s princess character cuts her hair into a short crop with baby bangs, symbolizing her desire for freedom. The hairstyle became a trend, embraced by many fans, and Hepburn continued wearing bangs throughout her career.
Delevingne’s version of the bangs was even shorter than Hepburn’s, showing several inches of skin above her eyebrows. Unlike traditional straight-across baby bangs, hers were softly choppy, with uneven ends that added a natural, playful feel. This style perfectly captured the charming and youthful vibe Hepburn was known for.
It’s unclear whether Delevingne’s bangs were cut into her hair or worn as clip-ins, but either way, they complemented her elegant twist updo beautifully. The bangs added a classic yet modern touch to her simple black gown and flicked-out cat-eye liner, making her look timeless without feeling like a costume.
Baby bangs continue to be a popular choice for celebrities seeking a quick style change. Lady Gaga revived hers in May with a striking jet-black cut, while Christina Aguilera added neon green highlights to her microbangs for a bold twist.
With the holiday season approaching, this vintage-inspired look could be the perfect way to stand out at family dinners or work parties. Whether you decide to snip your own bangs or visit a stylist, the baby bangs trend shows no signs of fading.
