Gigi Hadid debuts bangs at the MTV Movie Awards: awful or amazing?

wenn23728146

NO GIGI NO NO NO. As many of you may know, I genuinely like Gigi Hadid. I think she’s got a great look and I think she’s one of the best of the current crop of “Insta-models.” She reminds me of a young Doutzen Kroes or Carolyn Murphy or Claudia Schiffer. But Gigi dramatically changed up her look for the MTV Movie Awards and now… it’s just painful.

There are inevitably comments along the lines of “why do you hate bangs so much?” This is a good example of why I hate bangs on most (but not all) women. Bangs completely changed her face in a really terrible way. They make her look older and they make her face look plastic/Botoxed/wider. There’s some debate about whether they’re clip-in bangs, and while I sincerely hope they are, I’m not convinced. The uneven nature of the bangs around the sides make me think that her hairstylist convinced her to actually cut her hair like this. As for the fashion… she wore a Versace power suit and it’s fine. I don’t love it or hate it.

While Gigi was on the red carpet at this event, she chatted with E! News about her Vogue editorial with her boyfriend Zayn Malik. I absolutely loved those photos – go here to see. And I do think Gigi’s E! interview was charming – she’s so obviously love-drunk. She told E!:

“I wish I could be on set with him every day. It doesn’t feel like work when he’s there. It was really fun. We had the best time. It was an adventure to go where we shot it….He is a very good model. He’s so naturally good looking. The problem is he can do anything, he can change his hair color a million times and looks great. He doesn’t need much help.”

And while fans love to see these two showcase their love for one another in front of the camera, the 20-year-old admits that she’s not sure you’ll see her in another one of his music videos after “Pillowtalk.” Gigi tells us, “Not sure about another. We got one done. I think it’s important for artists to change creativity throughout each music video. Maybe in a couple of years.”

Regardless, the beauty says “Pillowtalk” will always hold a special place in her heart. “It was fun for us. We just started dating. It’s cute to look back. We were into each other and flirting the whole day.”

[From E! News]

I sort of want Gigi and Zayn to be together forever. Do you think that will happen? Probably not. I also get the feeling that Gigi’s close friends aren’t all on-board with her relationship, which is always difficult at that age. Still, let’s enjoy Gigi and Zayn while they last.

    I like the bangs on her. They are probably clip ons. Pretty girl.

  2. LookyLoo says:

    She looks like a blow up doll. And her face is very generic to me in that overdone Hollywood way.

  3. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Kaiser, you are one of my favorite people in the world, but you just aren’t objective when it comes to bangs. She looks fine.

  4. Caz says:

    She looks better without the strange vapid facial expression.

  5. Kris says:

    What a sad doll face. I don’t get it – why do these naturally (or not so naturally) attractive you women attempt to look like artificial 35 year olds? Who could ever find such a sad plastic face attractive?

  6. MooHoo says:

    i think she is a stunningly beautiful girl and the bangs suit her. love the yellow and black shirt too.

  7. Jayna says:

    They look good on her, but still she looks like a budget Bridget Bardot. She doesn’t even come close to Bridget Bardot in amazingness with bangs. Gigi’s looks are more average in comparison.

  8. Lorelei says:

    No no no!
    Maybe it would look better if the hair was up in a ponytail, but like this she looks completly plastic.

  9. skipper says:

    She looks like she’s been roofied.

  10. Maum says:

    Her face is too flat to suit a fringe.

    She reminds me of Kate Hudson when she did that awful film with Anne Hathaway about two best friends getting married the same day? She had a fringe in it too and it looked like her hairdresser had played a prank on her.

  11. anniefannie says:

    I knew b4 I opened the post what Kaiser would have to say about the “bangs trauma” but I think she looks gorgeous in a Brigette Bardot kind of way. She and Zayn are scorching!

  12. Barrett says:

    I am suffering Bangz trauma right now.

    I have very thick poufy hair and like a nice side sweep. I tried a new hair salon in town and got a mullet w super short bangs. It’s so dated looking, like when Kate Middleton had the bang aka fringe wings last year and it was at its worst.

    Please tell me time will speed up and they will grow. I have to give speeches at work w this date mess on my head! Pray to the hair gods!

  13. jennifer says:

    Ooof. Those bangs… I do have thoughts though- cutting the bangs eliminated a lot of the bright blonde that framed her face, they are quite dark. Perhaps lighten them a few shades, it would soften the look. Secondly, she is wearing a much stronger makeup look than usual with heavy contouring and a strong lip. I think her usual fresh face would take off 10 years. She is still so beautiful.

  14. InvaderTak says:

    Good lord she looks high as a kite in a couple shots.

  15. Ayra. says:

    As much as I love you Kaiser, agree to disagree on those comparisons to Doutzen, Claudia and Carolyn. No, just no.
    Pretty girl, takes great pictures, but her walking hasn’t gotten better in the year(s) she’s been modeling. It’s cringe worthy how far a name goes.

  16. Magnoliarose says:

    Nope to the bangs. I don’t like this on her. Doutzen runs circles around her as a model. Claudia? Seriously? Carolyn Murphy? Too far there Kaiser.
    Gigi is very pretty but I still don’t see her as high fashion but more swimsuit/commercial. As Nepogram models go she is one of the better as far as looks.
    Her spread with Zayn animated her in ways she can’t do alone. Usually she’s flat and it seems like she knows it somewhat. I do wish them longevity just because they are cute together and she seems in love.

  17. Jen43 says:

    She looks like Marianne Faithful circa 1967. I just don’t find her interesting at all.

  18. cari says:

    The cut of the bangs are horrendous…but she looks gorgeous to me. To be truthful, I never realized just how beautiful she is until now.

  19. Adrien says:

    She looks like Heather Locklear.

  20. opinions count says:

    We think that she is wearing a wig. It doesn’t add or subtract from her natural beauty.

    But, we like her without bangs.

  21. Snowflake says:

    I think her hair looks great!

  22. Green Is Good says:

    Real Doll realness.

  23. Leah says:

    Not into her bangs but i am surprised everyone is comparing her to these european looking models and actresses. I totally see her middle eastern roots in these photos. Put dark hair on her and she would look palestinian.

  24. Micki says:

    I don’t think that her face has the bone structure for this haircut.

  25. perplexed says:

    She looks like a younger version of Ellen Pompeo to me. That’s what I see when I see her face.

    Maybe Pompeo’s face is more angular because of age.

  26. QQ says:

    The Spontaneous BRAY i just had upon scrolling down and seeing this picLOLOLOL

    Oh Honey No, I don’t even like you and Im tsk tsk ing like a nana having pity pains for you

  27. mememe says:

    A young Schieffer? Ugh.
    I’m sorry but all I see when I see her is a privileged, talentless, not very bright girl, with a very generic look. Her face is not even that stunning in my opinion (dead eyes, puffy cheeks and tiny forehead). She is NOT model material, just like Kendall Jenner.

  28. Bohemianmartini says:

    I’m getting Taylor Dayne pre-tell it to my heart.

  29. NeoCleo says:

    It’s not the bangs, she’s bland. That is all.

  30. perplexed says:

    She has more of a girlish beauty, despite being quite tall.

  31. MSat says:

    With the bangs, she looks exactly like Goldie Hawn in the early 70′s. Which is to say, gorgeous.

  32. Suzy from Ontario says:

    I like the bangs but I think they’d look better with a shorter cut or a bob

  33. Magnoliarose says:

    Every time I see the photo of the homepage she looks eerily lifeless. It’s a bit creepy. Like Lars and The Real Girl or something.

  34. ShinyGrenade says:

    With that blank expression with dead eyes, she looks like a Real Doll.
    Creepy.

  35. I Choose Me says:

    Pretty girl but forgettable. She’s got nice pouty lips and I like her eyes but she has no real distinctive/distinguishing features ya know?

    The bangs are fine but I’m pretty sure it’s a wig.

  36. mollie says:

    Call me crazy but when she’s not smiling I get a vintage 80′s Ellen Barkin Vibe.
    There is an 80′s photo, easily googled hair is similar, white suit with rose in lapel.
    Not smiling…reminds me SO MUCH of this look.

    Love me some vintage Ellen.

  37. Tredd says:

    Let’s pray they’re clip ons.
    Otherwise, her mother won’t be the only one in that family with suicidal tendencies.

  38. sun3 says:

    The thing she does with her lips and her overall mouth area creeps me out ewww like a fish or something

  39. mrspanda says:

    she’s a beautiful girl but looks a bit like she’s had a lobotomy in these photos!
