In fact, even Jennifer Lopez-who debuted super-sleek, bone-straight bangs in May of last year-couldn’t resist the trend. Curtain bangs seem to be sweeping (no pun intended) the nation, and yes, they’re all over TikTok (the hashtag alone has over 1.4 billion views). Plus, they can be spotted on popular TV characters (think: Cassie, played by Kaley Cuoco in the HBO Max miniseries The Flight Attendant).

Celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Hillary Duff, Kacey Musgraves, Halle Berry, Gigi Hadid, Elizabeth Olsen, Katy Perry, and The Crown’s Emma Corrin, to name a few, have been embracing them. Just consider tie-dye, scrunchies, super-shiny lip gloss, one-shoulder tops, and the ’80s power shoulder, which, by the way, is continuing to make a major comeback.īut perhaps no trend is having a bigger renaissance than curtain bangs, the wispy, face-framing fringe with roots in the ’60s and ’70s.

No matter how uncertain times may be, there is one thing you can always count on (at least when it comes to beauty and fashion): Everything that was once old will be new again.
