From what I gather from my detractors, I’m known for certain things: stanning Angelina Jolie and the Duchess of Sussex, a bygone obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch, and a long-standing hatred for bangs. My lord, do I hate bangs. I loathe them almost as much as I hate Laura Dern, my nemesis. But what if… I’m actually okay with some bangs/fringe? It’s true – sometimes I’ll come across a certain fringe style which isn’t horrible, or a woman who can really pull off some bangs. To be fair, baby bangs are always a mistake, and I would suggest – for the bangs-inclined – to start with just a little shaggy side-fringe to see what that’s like.
Selena Gomez has experimented with fringe before, to mixed results. These are photos of Selena out on Monday, debuting her new shaggy fringe (“curtain bangs”?) and… I don’t hate it? I actually sort of like these bangs and I think they suit her face? Plus, they’re shaggy enough where they won’t be absolutely horrendous to grow out if she changes her mind. So let it be known far and wide: these bangs are okay, according to me. Plus I love her outfit in these photos – I really want that sweater.
Selena is stepping out this week on the promotional trail – she did voice work in Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doolittle movie (which looks like a big bomb) and she’s promoting the release of her latest album, Rare. She chatted with Variety about it – go here to read.

Why does she look a rough 45 in the header pic?
I wouldn’t say she looks rough but she definitely looks older than her 27 years. But I think it’s just the angle. She looks fine in most of the recent pics Ive seen of her.
Nope.
She doesn’t even look like herself She looks like Kaia Gerber got her face stuck in a vacuum cleaner.
I was just thinking how unattractive Kaia looks in the picture in that post of today – the fatal closetogether eyes thing.
Ha! I was going to say she looks like a cross between kaia gerber snd sofia vergara.
Wow, harsh comments. I really like it. She’s got a 60’s vibe with this cut and I think it flatters her face. I like the outfit and the hair.
..
I agree – I think she looks beautiful. She’s a stunning woman but she’s always looked so baby faced – she looks much more grown up here, and I like it.
I swear she looks exactly like Rachel Bilson.
Yes, I completely agree!!
I think the bangs age her face, but that’s just my opinion.
She probably doesn’t mind much, since people are always banging on about how her face still looks like a child.
I don’t like the bangs at all but I think they work really well with this particular outfit.
I love bangs. I especially love straight bangs. I’m growing them out and it’s frustrating. I didn’t know clip in bangs was a thing
Her hair is always a mess never looks good
She has Lupus. Hair loss is a major side effect. I think she’s always working around this.
I liked it better before the bangs.
Love Selena. Bangs and all.
I’m just itching to move them out of her eyes.
I love it. She’s always been pretty and I think she looks more gorgeous than ever. I may be biased since I also love her outfit.
Cuuute!
I kind of like it, but I think the bangs are just a bit heavy with her features.
Wow, I love it! She really is drop-dead gorgeous.
Agree. She’s stunning.
I like them. I always found her cheeks distracting so they frame her face better.
I LOVE THEM!!
She looks so pretty. Great outfit too.
Nope, not flattering to her face. There are many people who would look better with bangs, but Selena is not one of them.
[*Grow them out.*]
