When it comes to fringes there's almost always a fringe to suit every face shape. Be it heart, square or even the dreaded round face-fringe-combo, with our edit of the best celeb bangs, you'll find your perfect fringe style in no time. Trust.
'Pretty much everyone suits a fringe, it’s all about where the fringe ends,' says pro hairstylist Zoe Irwin. 'Whether it’s a long fringe that accentuates the cheek bones or brow skimming, the most important thing is working it to fit the face shape and the jaw line.'
So how can you update the classic fringe for 2023? 'Super cropped, chopped fringes are a big thing for 2023,' says Irwin. 'Fringes work really well with super long hair and also French girl bobs. Fringes should be worn either half way through the forehead, resting on the brow, or with a 1960s vibe where the centre is shorter and the sides are two or three centimetres longer.'
Read on for the all the fringe hair inspiration you need before you opt for the chop...

Arnold Jerocki
The fashion world might be talking about Kylie Jenner's roaringly chic lion head Schiaparelli dress debuted at Haute Couture fashion week, but for us beauty obsessives it's all about her faux fringe made out of a ponytail. Yep, Jenner used her own ponytail as the ultimate fake fringe hack, twisting the lengths across the front of her head to create a temporary sweeping side fringe. Genius.

Hunter Schafer
Jeff Kravitz
The Euphoria actress updated her golden blonde bob with a brand new super short micro fringe in honour of the show's season two premiere. Schafer paired her new bangs with a choppy half-up half-down space bun style that gave the 23-year-old's plum Prada gown a modern twist. Celebrity hairstylist Rena Calhoun was behind Schafer's futuristic new look, telling Allure, 'Hunter has always wanted bangs, so it was so exciting to debut on the red carpet.'

Jodie Comer
Jodie Comer switched up her usual sleek centre parting for a sky high retro beehive and paired the 1960s look with a messy split fringe so good even Brigitte Bardot would be jealous.

Switching up her sleek brunette hair, Kendall Jenner rocked a shaggy new fringe for a a Chanel shoot by fashion photography duo Luigi and Iango published in Chaos SixtyNine magazine. As always, when it comes to Jenner's major hair transformations, this could just be the work of some seriously good wig trickery, but either way, we're digging the supermodel's badass new bedhead 'do.

Lena Dunham has been sporting a pixie crop of sorts for the last year or so. So it was a surprise to everyone when she debuted long ombre locks on her Instagram. She seems to have foregone the ombre part now, but has kept the fringe. It's certainly an edgier look for the star.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra has had a fringe for a long time and we reckon it possibly looks its best in a high pony. The layered look she's sporting has a certain 'supermodel-of-the-90s' look about it, which we're not complaining about.

Jessica Biel's shaggy style is a more fun, modern-feeling reimagining of her usual sleek hairstyle.

Fringes are Rashida's thing - whether side swept or blunt bangs. This isn't the shortest cut she's ever had, but it's one of the bluntest, so the fringe is a great complement to the look.

Felicity Jones' face is almost triangular in shape, so this curtained fringe is a nice way of concealing a broader forehead, allowing the eye to focus on her slender jaw.

Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande debuted a new fringe addition to her iconic high pony on her Instagram account.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez's fringe is a gorgeous, shaggy nod to the '70s. More 'woke-up-like-this' than Farrah Fawcett's face framing curls - this is 'cool girl' hippie style.

Rihanna

Rihanna is constantly changing her hair – her oval face shape means she suits most hairstyles. This fringe is the thing that stops her new lob from being mumsy.

Georgia May Jagger's graded fringe is the ultimate in '70s swinging chic. Wouldn't look out of place with bell bottoms and a denim jumpsuit.
