Celebs Who Have Been Transformed By Bangs

Not everyone is daring enough to go bright purple, or even get a bob. For those who aren't good with bold change, bangs are the best makeover. They’re pretty easy to maintain and they don’t completely overhaul your look. Or do they? Bangs may be subtle for most, but they completely transformed these celebs. Some for the best and some, well let’s just say they learned from their mistake. Bangs are sometimes best left in your childhood.

Jessica Chastain

The natural redhead always looks like a bombshell, but the addition of blunt bangs elevated her to a Brigitte Bardot look-a-like.

Chrissy Teigen

Remember that time John Legend’s better half stepped out in thick bangs at the Billboard Music Awards? Yeah, we tried to block it out too. Her bulldog didn’t seem to fancy them too much either.

Katy Perry

When bright blue hair is more flattering than fringe, you know something’s wrong. The effect was a feather-filled bird’s nest sitting on top of her head. If a CoverGirl can’t pull it off, we don’t know who can.

Kim Kardashian

Thick bangs and spidery eyelashes—this Kardashian was looking a little too hairy at one point.

Kaley Cuoco

When usually bangs make you look younger, “The Bing Bang Theory” actress added years to her face when she wore this ill-fitting wig.

Taylor Swift

Who would have thought curly girl T-Swift would have looked good with bangs? Yet, she manages to control the volume and frizz—leaving them sleek and just above her eyes.

Nina Dobrev

Even side bangs can be transforming. Her face-framing bangs made her face look less oval and more heart-shaped.

Rachel Bilson

Our little Summer is petite to begin with. Add in these huge bangs and her face looks even smaller.

Sophia Bush

Sophia also went a little overboard. The too-big-for-her-face bangs made her face appear rounder and fuller. Brooke would have never approved.

Jessica Biel

JT’s girl is the poster child for bangs. The simple cut elevated her style, bringing her from “girl next door” to fashion icon. We’ll never associate bangs with our childhood again.
