Bangs are timeless, but depending on the year, there are different ways to wear them. In 2025, side bangs are making a comeback. The stars of the Golden Globes notably made this known at the evening event.
Curtain bangs, short, straight, thick, tapered… This hair twist has been worn for years, in many ways. Sometimes it is a carefully considered choice, or a decision made on a whim. Let us rest assured, bangs are often a good idea but it still has to be well cut, and in the spirit of the times . Furthermore, as disturbing as it may seem, certain old trends manage to come back into fashion and succeed in convincing us to give them a second chance.
This is the case with the bangs on the side. A beauty challenge that we sometimes regret having dared during our college years, which we are trying again this year. Fortunately, however, the trend has evolved, and adapts to new codes in the beauty sphere. It is no longer a question of the wide thick fringe pressed against the forehead, but of a much more current version of the ‘side fringe’, which could therefore seduce us.

Golden Globes stars adopted side bangs
It was on the Golden Globes red carpet that the trend resurfaced. From Naomi Watts to Elle Fanning, side-swept bangs (and side-swept hairstyles, in general) have been proudly flaunted in front of photographers. Unlike the past decade, the “side fringes” highlighted were more chic and glamorous. Which gives them a good extra point.
Naomi Watts and Elle Fanning weren’t the only ones to have adopted this way of styling bangs. Cate Blanchett and Demi Moore have also tried this trend from the past, an elegant and trendy version. However, they wore it with different hairstyles: with a bob cut or a chic bun, for example. It’s hard not to validate.
