Olivia Wilde is welcoming the summer with a new look — whether she’s ready for it or not. On June 4, the actor’s go-to hairstylist Mara Roszak posted a picture of her new shag haircut on Instagram. Better yet, it appeared the actor got a fresh set of bangs as well.
The picture of Wilde posing with her hand behind her head, allowing the style to be seen in its entirety, was captioned: “✂️What do we call these bangs? @oliviawilde.” Her hair fell just below her shoulders and was styled into messy waves that feel perfect for beach season. Her fringe was choppy and side-swept, adding to the laissez-faire attitude of the warm months.
Still, it seems even Wilde is not immune to the haircut’s version of buyer’s remorse. On June 15, the actor posted an Instagram selfie with the caption, “Having bangs is mostly sending pics to friends checking in to see how much you regret getting bangs.” In the photo, you can see the style swept into a curtain shape on either side of her face, which is a popular approach during the grow-out phase.
Bangs are an easy way to add shape to the face without changing your entire style. There are plenty of options to choose from — see: birkin, micro, curtain, and swoop bangs for starters. Should you be on the lookout for inspiration, bangs have been worn by numerous celebrities, including Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, and Megan Fox.
