Streep’s and Christina Ricci’s side parts were paired with chic updos, while Lipa and Lyonne wore the traditional, late-aughts, MySpace-era-inspired side bang that literally everyone had in 2009. You know, the one that nearly covers one of your eyes. Great minds—and redheads—think alike, apparently.
Look at them! They’re just begging to take an angled selfie with a digital camera.
Other stars modernized the classic style, pairing theirs with chic blunt bob haircuts and lobs.
Once again, proof that the bob haircut can simply do no wrong. (But IMO, neither can side bangs.)
Not to mention, Mortez, Delevingne, and Keke Palmer wore side parts with honey blonde hair, which has already been dubbed the trending hair color of 2024. Palmer and her freshly dyed locks gave us a master class in voluminous, Old Hollywood waves.
Judging by these red-carpet photos, I’d say that the debate on whether or not side-part bangs are back is now concluded: They most definitely are. At this rate 2024 just might be the year that skinny jeans make their red-carpet debut too. Hear that, Meryl Streep? We’re looking at you.
