Here are some photos of Beyonce, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy leaving Paris after a lengthy hiatus. I mean, they were working too, but it was mostly relaxation and sight-seeing. They left out of Gare du Nord and Beyonce debuted her new bangs for all of the weary travelers.
Sigh… of all of the different kinds of bangs to get, I find the itty-bitty baby bangs trauma (Bettie Page bangs) the most heinous. Unless you’re Bettie Page or you work that kind of consistent vintage vibe, these bangs are not for you. But… I’m not going to get too mad about Beyonce’s bangs, mostly because I’m not even sure that’s her real hair. A few years ago, a lot of girls were doing those clip-in bangs, and that’s what this fringe look like. Either that or she’s just wearing a full-on wig, because her hair in these photos looks very unnatural.
I have a personal bangs trauma story for all of you, especially the people who always yell at me about how some bangs are okay. Over the weekend, I was dyeing my hair and I didn’t have my contacts in, nor was I wearing my glasses, so I completely missed this spot of dye that got on my forehead, right by my left temple. Long story short, I gave myself a minor chemical burn and I’m sure the discoloration will only last a few days/a week, but in the meantime… I totally gave myself some bangs to cover the burn. Isn’t that a delicious turn of events, bangs-defenders? The #1 Bangs Enemy got bangs to cover something unsightly. By the way, I still hate them even though I am now one of you. As I was cutting, I was cursing them the entire time.

I’m sorry but nope, this wig looks so cheap. I KNOW she can do better than this.
Blue looks so cute here though.
But is an empowering wig. A feminist wig if you will.
Lol. Lena Dunham lent it to her.
LOL
Empowered baby bangs on a grown woman.
I’m sure she will post this look on her instagram or something and I’m sure it will be look great. But first she will use 1000 filters and photoshop. She is so fake and phony.
Her bangs in the third pic look like they’re made of yarn.
Also, you can see her own dark hair springing out around her temples. Fake ass hair with bad bangs.
Good thing Paris isn’t Burning because this wig is a fire hazard.
Zing!
Fug. Really fug.
It looks like a wig. Blue Ivy is such a adorable child.
It looks like a wig and it is on crooked.
And her hair is fabulous, what a pretty braid!
I am actually glad it is a wig (hopefully), because it would be tragic if she had her real hair cut that poorly. The way it sticks out over her forehead and the way the ends of the bangs kind of clump together looks really terrible!
I agree, Blue is so cute!
Budget.
Bey needs to join Gaga on the cheap-wig-game.
Coconut. As in she looks like a coconut.
I think she would look gorgeous in Gaga’s wig.
*snort*
I meant that sincerely, believe it or not.
Gaga’s dog’s robe would look better on Bey’s head than this broom shag.
Broom shag sounds dirty. Like Janitor porn.
Sorry, I misread your comment. I thought you said she looks gorgeous in gaga’s wig, like she had on some old wig of gaga’s. I actually like the new Gaga wig, too.
Janitor porn? I think I just peed a little.
Has Blue cut Beyonce’s wing?
Absoluement!
hahaha That’s the first thing I though of too!
Her hair looks like straw. Gross.
It’s a wig she threw on for convenience. It will be gone tomorrow, no big deal.
So it’s not as a big of deal as something like, say Ebola?
Pfft. This place is not the same without your brand of insanity.
Ebola will be gone tomorrow, no big deal.
They bangs are crooked but that is also an awful wig. In other shots you can see her natural hair poking out from underneath because she isn’t wearing a cap
It’s like something went astray at the Beygency yesterday. It’s the worst look I’ve ever seen on Beyonce, and it seems way off brand. What I find so surprising is that she went out in public like this — maybe she was in a hurry to catch the Eurostar and just threw on a bad wig, but you’d think she’d have much better options than this one.
Couldn’t she have just worn a hat? This thing on her head
is hideous.
without a wigcap to flatten the volume of the real hair it’s not surprising that the wig’s curved all over the place and look so unfortunate & cheap.
Awful cheap wig. She looks horrific in it.
I think it is a wig.
no one looks good with bangs cut that short.
yuck.
Come on, people. She’s just dropping an advance of her secret Halloween single hairdo.
I have mixed feelings. Most of you are too young to know this, but those are 1950s pixie bangs. I had those from kindergarten through fourth grade. I hated them, but seeing them on Beyoncé sort of makes me smile. But I still sort of hate them.
I have a soft spot for those bangs, too, but the way Beyonce has deployed them here kills my nostalgia. She looks exactly like my Barbies did when I decided to give them bangs. And the quality of her hair is on par with a Barbie, too.
Lol. I can picture you thinking how Barbie would look cute with bangs and cutting them yourself. They DO look just like homecut Barbie bangs!
they DO look like that! lol
my grandma cut my bangs this way when i was in 4th grade (she cut my hair when it was wet). i’m still traumatized by that. haha
That’s exactly what they look like. I’ll defend her when I think its necessary, but those bangs are bad. Just. Bad. I’m also amazed that someone as into wigs as she is would think this was a good look. Its something I’d wear, since I never wear wigs. I don’t know any better, but she does.
Her bangs look like mine after 19 gin tonics and a “omg I shhhould tolly cut my bangthhh”.
Yeah, or one of my Bloody Mary fed episodes of “how hard could it be?”
@mimif, This explains your absence.
@GoodNames, I kind of want to get you drunk, give you those bangs, and then take you to the dentist because I heard you really know how to party with your mouth open.
Wait, that totally didn’t come out right.
@Kiddo, I’ve been extreme crafting!
Beyonce’s new wig = boring
Beyonce’s new wig stream of consciousness discussion as done by mimif, GNAT & kiddo = The best thing ever!
I like the idea of being drunk at the dentist. Maybe I’ll try that next time. If there is a next time.
@GoodNamesAllTaken, Bring a shank or a Sheen for protection.
Wow, 19 Gin and Tonics? I’m toast after 3.
Those are some awful bangs though, wig or not. I like her bob cut better.
Ha! Yes, I had those bangs, too, at age 3. They looked adorable, because I had fine, straight hair….and I was 3. That wig is ghastly.
Pretty much. Lol
She been drinking, She been drinking
She wants to cut her wig when that liquor get into her. na na
Then she woke up in the kitchen saying,
“How the hell did this shit happen?”
Oh baby, drunk in love with her bargain basement wig she was all night.
NOOOOO! These type of bangs always look like what happens when the stylist fixes what your 3 year old started. Also – it looks like she just didn’t feel like messing with her lace-front, so she cut some bangs with some kitchen scissors. This. is. awful.
bad wig
Fake hideous hair. I know she could have gotten a better wig than this in Paris. Well, money can’t buy taste!
Looks fug!
Looks like Blue grabbed some scissors and gave mommy a makeover.
That looks terrible! She’s a very pretty woman but not even she can make that look work.
Its hard for anyone to pull off a Friar Tuck mullet….I’m glad she got it out of her system and hopefully into a trash bin
Inspired by Yolandi VIsser and nowhere near as good.

Very few women can look good in those bangs. It unfortunately doesn’t work on her.
That is the most horrendous wig i have ever seen, like those wigs at hair beauty shops people buy to wear for Halloween purposes.
As someone who has had bangs for basically her entire life, and all of my friends and my husband tell me that I look much better with bangs, I get a little tired of the bangs hate on this site. It really does work for some women if it frames their faces well. But this is just a big no. Itty-bitty bangs rarely work and even Beyonce can’t pull this look off.
Add me to the list of always having bangs. The few times I’ve tried t grow them out……it’s not a good look on me. I need something on my forehead.
These bangs are horrible but I also don’t believe it’s her real hair.
Bangs on other people don’t bother me, unless they are haning in their eyes and then I just want to see them cut. For me, I don’t like bangs on me. It’s an individual thing.
Fellow life long bangs lover over here, but Bey’s are just…atrocious. She gives bangs a bad name, bad name.
I have a huge cowlick in the middle of my forehead so I could never rock bangs. My friends have bangs, even short bangs like this and I love how it looks on them. It would never work on me.
She had a similar look to this in her Video Phone video but it looked much better. I don’t like this too much.
I like bangs on people. Unfortunately, I have a tiny little forehead so I can’t pull them off. Sad face.
I’ve never not had bangs. I have a high forehead, and not having bangs certainly does me no favors. I switch them up relatively often, but they’re always there – whether straight across or swooping to one side. I just had some kind of heavy ones cut on Thanksgiving Monday… they push to the side just enough that they’re not Zooey bangs, and I love them. Long live the bangs!
I think we can say with near certainty that is not her real hair. We can also say with near certainty that style is awful and she needs to burn that wig ASAP.
People were commenting on her hair- do for the Louvre visit. I give her props for good wig game. This? Lordy no!
EW. Not her best look….you KNOW it’s bad when Beyonce can’t even pull it off.
I think we all agree that is not her real hair. Have we ever even seen her real, unproccessed, unextentioned hair? I doubt it.
Google “Betty Page Bangs Beyonce” and you’ll see that she’s worn this wig or similar looking ones before in shoots and videoclips. Only then the wig was put on well, combed to perfection and photoshopped. Maybe Blue snatched her wig off right before leaving the building or something, lol. It looks a mess here.
True Sisi
It looked more as it should do when she got to London….thr photos from the Chelsea Arts Club are far more, er, soignée.
That wig is…unfortunate.
That is a cheap ass wig and she should feel bad. All that money and she can’t get a “I just need this for a minute” wig that doesn’t look like it was found at the bottom of the bin at the dollar store?
Looks like Blue Ivy got a hold of a pair of scissors. Wig or not, it is a terrible look for her.
i like bangs, on the right face, they can look great.
but this is cheap AND ugly.
Lloyd Christmas. Dumb and Dumber.
OMG. You nailed it.
Oh no. Can never unsee it now.
Ha ha ha – LOVE IT!!! Just an awful look – it makes me laugh. Let’s make this her new go to pic – pretty please???
This wig=no bueno.
I guess she thinks she’s Amelie now? I’m surprised we didn’t get photos of her in Montmartre.
I’m a little disappointed. They’ve been everywhere I’ve been and I never caught sight of them once. In fact without updates from this site you wouldn’t even know they were in town. I guess it was mostly American tourists who were following them?
And I thought my new haircut was bad … :S
Lol, BIC already snatching her mother’s hairdresser. Look at that child’s hair, all picture perfect and then you have…the bangs. Beyoncé’s hair can wait 🙂
Am I the only one who doesn’t think Beyonce is pretty? I think her features are very manly!
You’ve got company, crab.
It’s not the manliness, it’s the vanity, false modesty, and brazen lack of intelligence which void beauty.
This broomstraw is well-suited to my opinion of her tackiness and lack of substance.
I think Beyoncé is stunning, her face is beautiful. IMO
Gorgeous woman.
How could someone with so much money and so much vanity end up with bangs like this?!?!?
What in the hell? It looks cheap and tacky as hell! Lol.
Girrllll Interrupted territory here ! My gawd, at least cut them straight across.
I reckon Bey, after Angelina, is the most beautuful dame in showbiz. (I love that wine shade on her, and is that a Stella McC bag?) Her hair……my immediate thought was an Egyptian statue I remember in the Louvre with exactly that fringe…..maybe she was moved to copy it. I think she’s gawjus enough to wear even this look, but she has looked better, tis true! Actually…..just a bold lippy would pull it all together and make sense of the style, imo.
I love Beyonce too and think she looks regal (also loving the wine shade and the Stella bag).
Kaiser you got bangs!!!!!! You secretly love them now don’t you? Just kidding you’re prob counting down the days till you can pin them back :p
A billion dollars in the elevator, but she can’t wear a decent wig.
That is one ugly hair unit.
The best thing about this article is that Kaiser now has bangs. LOL
I think this is the wig she’s been wearing and someone got ahold of it and chopped those horrid bangs. But as an aside, she wore a look like this in her “why don’t you love me” video so maybe she thought she could pull it off in real life. At any rate, it’s hilariously tragic LOL.
Yes, it looks like the same wig she’s been wearing, but for whatever reason she had Bangs cut into it.
The problem for me is the bangs look like the wig is venturing into a bowl cut then stopped and they don’t look good with the rest of the hair and also she entire wig looks like dry straw. She should just throw that one in the trash and start over.
Anyone who has that kind on money shouldn’t have hair that looks like that- EVER.
It’s almost like Beyonce is wearing a toupee. Blue Ivy looks adorable.
LOL it always cracks me up when people talk about her “hair”. I mean, she’s not much different from a Playskool character. You pop a different hair hat on to suit the occasion.
Awesome. Excellent comparison! 😀
That is a straight up wig. It’s so bad it looks like it’s trying to leave her head LOL.
I think Blue cut Bey’s bangs while Bey was sleeping.
Time to change those extensions.
Kaiser with bangs trauma! Hell has frozen over.
LMFAO! She’s joking right?
Bey’s wig is tragic. Blue’s hairstyle on the other hand is super cute. I really like how the Carters handle those paparazzi situations with her toddler, you can really tell that they try to protect little Blue and have her best interest at heart. Blue is also always appropriately dressed and just seems loved. North on the other hand has the most disgusting and narcissistic people as parents and has to wear all black and leather all the time and is paraded around like an acessoir.
oh lord that’s a terrible look! terrible wig and all around horrible! she does not have the face for those type of betty page bangs…most people dont, just betty page and jim carey from “dumb and dumber”
Oh my god. This is a no.
She looks like Simple Jack.
No, this isn’t a good look. She has a stylist/hairdresser that travels with her doesn’t she? She should, she certainly can afford one. I think this is just a wig gone wrong and we won’t see it again. Also, I don’t think bangs suit her face. I like her with slightly darker, less brassy colored hair. She’s such a beauty though.
She looks great with bangs in the Lady Gaga Telephone video:

Here? Not so much…
This looks like she got irritated at her wig and let Blue Ivy take her baby scissors to it.
+1
I have a ceramic scarecrow I painted for Halloween. His hair looks exactly like Bey’s.
Bey is a gorgeous woman and usually her hair looks beautiful, but Nooooooooo just Nooooooo.
Maybe the little sweetie Blue Ivy was grabbing the front and Bey decided to chop it.
Lmao Kaiser!
looks like she cut them with a butter knife. No bueno.
Totally fug. On par with JayZero
Who hacks up a perfectly good wig so that she can look just like a Cabbage Patch doll? If she had any taste, she would have photo shopped that awful fringe.
all that’s missing is the chin strap
this looks like but her bangs herself with a dull pair of scissors
I can’t believe I’m saying this because it’s so mean…but her hair reminds me of James Earl Jones in that old Conan the Barbarian movie.
I think she’s like “I need to take attention off of my belly! I know! I’ll pull my wig back off my head and I’ll look crazy enough so they will forget all about my baby bump belly!” …lol She is not fooling me with this foolishness. But Blue is a cutie!
She looks just like her sister in that second photo. Kinda heavy-jawed or something. I think both of them are very attractive.
