Olivia Wilde is no stranger to setting and following trends – and that’s referring to both fashion trends as well as hair and beauty trends! The 39-year-old Don’t Worry Darling actress and director just hopped on board one of the biggest hair trends of the moment, and debuted some chic and stylish Birkin bangs on Instagram on June 6th!
Yes, Olivia has joined the likes of Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and so many other A-listers experimenting with bangs this year, and we think she is rocking them so well! She shared the first look at her bangs via her Instagram Story, so fans weren’t able to comment; however, we have a feeling that her new ‘do will get their seal of approval!
Olivia Wilde Unveils Her New Bangs On Instagram
Olivia captioned her post with something completely unrelated to hair, but totally relatable in terms of mom life. She wrote: "The 24 seconds in the morning before someone is screaming about wishing they were an only child."
To debut her new hairstyle, Olivia took a mirror selfie in what appeared to be her bathroom, while wearing a tight white tank top. She also seemed to be going makeup-free, although her complexion seemed utterly flawless. However, it was the hair that got the most attention, as her brunette locks were swept into an effortless ponytail, with the center-parted Birkin bangs resting on her forehead, and a few longer pieces framing the rest of her face.
What Are Birkin Bangs?
Birkin bangs – inspired by '60s fashion icon Jane Birkin, of course – are not hugely dissimilar to curtain bangs, but there are a few differences. Birkin bangs tend to be longer and wispier, and are slightly feathered. They traditionally sit between the eyebrows and eyelashes. Curtain bangs, on the other hand, can sit on the cheek, with some of the longest curtain bangs even resting on the chin area. Curtain bangs, Birkin bangs, blunt bangs – they’re all having a moment right now, so don't be afraid to reach for the scissors if you want to stay on top of the latest hair trends!
