What do we think of Bella Hadid’s bangs (trauma)? I know there are die-hard fringe defenders, but there is no defense for these bangs in particular. [Popoholic]

    Most of the time I don’t agree with the general negative sentiment regarding bangs around here -but my goodness – those are unfortunate ones.

    They just don’t look like they’re the ‘right’ length, but I never understood the short ‘baby bangs’ trend to begin with, so maybe it’s just me.

  2. Coconut says:

    Cute!

    • Angel says:

      I think they are cute too. She’s young, they’re cute on her.

      • Mary Mary says:

        I love straight smooth fringes/bangs. Those bangs are cute on her.

        I used to die for straight smooth bangs. In grammar school I would go to sleep at night scotch taping my bangs to lay flat 🙂 The curls always won and bounced right back.

      • SnarkAtLarge says:

        Baby bangs are only for those with “delicate features”. I love them but look like a cartoon villain. Sigh. In this one it’s very progressive and gives her edge that’s otherwise missing.

    • Chetta B. says:

      I love them too. They seem to really suit her!

    • mbh12 says:

      The bangs are cute.
      Both sisters are beautiful ladies, but Bella’s face has a mysterious vibe in photos, I like.
      Yolanda , their mother is quite stunning too even with her illness.

  3. INeedANap says:

    She is a stunning woman with one face. Glad that one is working out for her though!

  4. greenmonster says:

    I don’t understand the hate for bangs. It’s just a hairstyle. Would people call out others for having short or long hair? Some people do look better with bangs. I’m one of them – different styles and lenghts but always bangs. Look I made a rhyme…

    • Nancy says:

      I know! Bang shaming….lol

    • KB says:

      They only get a bad rap because they can either look super cute or completely terrible. And they completely change a person’s face. So many of us have such awful memories of how awful we looked when we tried them. They just don’t suit a lot of people, but when they work, they work!

      Zooey Deschanel is one of those people that just look right with bangs. You’re a Zooey, but most of us are Michelle Obama.

    • HadleyB says:

      I see more people who SHOULD be wearing fringe — those huge foreheads or unfortunate brows – or they would just look better with them.

  5. Pandora says:

    I don’t know, they look very cute to me.

  6. Elisa the I. says:

    I think she looks lovely!

  7. Riemc526 says:

    Something up her nose job looks so unnatural and off. The bangs are cute though.

    • doofus says:

      her nose always freaks me out.

      it’s almost like those anime women, who have huge, detailed eyes but are just drawn with two black dots for the nose, to indicate nostrils, but with no other part of the nose drawn. I think it’s because the upper part of her nose doesn’t “stick out” from her face like most people’s noses do, as if the bridge of her nose was removed.

  8. Blaire Carter says:

    They’re fake.

    • Nancy says:

      You’re probably right. She looks cute in them, but with that face, it doesn’t matter what her hair looks like. She’s pretty.

  9. Elle says:

    She looks great!

  10. Olga says:

    It doesn’t suit her dull eyes. Short bangs attract all attention to the eyes and her eyes are lifeless. Even Lydia from Beetlejuice wore black baby-bangs better.

  11. Pip says:

    She looks astonishingly beautiful in the first photo – channelling Vivien Leigh.

    I don’t get the bangs-hatred either – I was born with bangs & will probably have them until the day I die.

  12. detritus says:

    I have more concerns for those awful christian dior straps.
    Stop.
    I don’t like it when moschino does it, I definitely don’t like it when Dior does it, and it fits with their aesthetic less.
    Fashion shouldn’t be (completely) about conspicuous consumption.

  13. Incredulous says:

    Not even the most interesting outfit in the pictures.

  14. JRenee says:

    They look fine…

  15. Felice. says:

    Those are those “I’m offended by everything” bangs.

  16. atorontogal says:

    She is a beautiful girl. Not like KJ. This girl really is model material.

  17. Jay (the Canadian one) says:

    I wouldn’t call my position “die-hard fringe defender.” I would call my position merely “puzzled.” Puzzled why one particular relatively common hairstyle gets singled out here. Now if you were mocking Miley Cyrus’s teddy bear ears or whatever you call it that she often does, I’d get it.

  18. Adrien says:

    They are clip-on bangs. Her stylist chose the wrong length. I thought she looked cute though.

  19. What was that? says:

    Lizzie W is in a supermarket ..called Waitrose which is the most snazzy of our supermarket chains…my favourite story is of Harry seen at the Kensington high street branch looking a the reduced ready meals..love to think he makes some savings to pay for sister in laws fancy designer duds..
    Just stick the meal in the microwave ..chefs night off!…

  20. Bread and Circuses says:

    This is actually the best I’ve ever seen her look.

  21. Bobafelty says:

    I can’t even notice the bangs, I’m always so distracted by her terrible nose job!

    • caitlinK says:

      If you look at earlier photos of her, you can see she has practically had a whole face transplant: her noes, her eyes, her lips, possibly even her cheeks, are not originally hers. For this reason she looks like the most plastic “model” around to me, that strange, sad, man made face surrounding her dead irises is as chilling as her gaze.

  22. KasySwee says:

    There has always been something about Lady Gaga that I just find sad and depression-triggering and those photos, which I foolishly scrolled through, highlight it. Despite any Born This Way posturing, I just get such a strong self-loathing vibe from her, especially with how she hides her face. That sad outfit, which reminds me of something a 17yo girl with self-esteem issues would try to wear to sprng break, makes me feel she desperately wants people to look at any other part of her body except her face and yeah, depressing.

    • bella says:

      I have always felt from the very first time that I saw Lady Gaga that she hates herself. She was/does wear things/contraptions to hide her face. Definitely self-loathing! I find it very sad that despite all her fame and talent she still can’t seem to stop herself. She has had a multitude of plastic surgeries and still is not happy with herself.

  23. Anare says:

    Wish Kristen Stewart would stop with the fugly bleached hair. It just looks unkept.

  24. Casi says:

    Bella looks fine but kind of like in old Taylor Swifr videos where Taylor puts on a dark wig and plays the villain part of her video.

  25. Margo S. says:

    I really like her bangs. Very high fashion. She looks like Jennifer lawrence in those photos!

  26. PennyLane says:

    I hate it that Zelda Fitzgerald is being refashioned into a feminist icon.

    Ugh, talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. As a lifelong feminist and Massachusetts liberal who has lived in the Deep South for the last 10 years, I’d like to point out the following:

    – ZF was born in Alabama in 1900 to a wealthy, well-connected family (her maternal grandfather and great-uncle were both US Senators!). These were deeply racist people benefiting from and also actively working to uphold an apartheid social structure.

    This era was the height of Jim Crow; Zelda grew up surrounded by injustice, exploitation, and oppression of 35% of the population. What was her main interest amid all this suffering? Going to fancy parties and wearing pretty dresses! Yay!

    She was gross and racist and couldn’t care less about the suffering of poor Black people which surrounded her in turn of the century Deep South. All she cared about was a new pretty dress.

    Also — Zelda Fitzgerald ‘wanted to be a writer’, but that isn’t the same as actually being a writer. Writers write; Zelda talked a lot about writing (while wearing pretty dresses). Her husband lifting some of her diary passages is lame, but that is not the same as Zelda being the ‘real genius’ in the relationship.

    In conclusion, ZF was a shallow, self-absorbed woman who was completely indifferent to other people’s suffering, and who wanted to be a writer but didn’t actually do much writing. She wasn’t a feminist, she didn’t care about social justice, she was rich and white and pretty and liked fancy parties and expensive dresses. Oh, and she lost her mind and eventually had to be hospitalized. The End.
