Selena Gomez’s Sun-Kissed Bangs: Your Summer Hair Inspiration
I suppose you hadn’t noticed Selena Gomez’s latest beauty pivot, so allow me to break it down. The 32-year-old “Who Says” songstress just rolled into summer with textured bangs, choppy layers, and her signature natural curls—because clearly her sleek bob and high pony were soooo last season. On June 23, Selena teased us on Instagram in a crisp white bathrobe, captioning her reveal “I would, but I’d regret it, then get it redone so I simply won’t.” Touché, Selena. According to E! Online, this fresh fringe isn’t a one-off stunt; she first rocked a bottleneck-style fringe at the Los Angeles premiere of Nicola Peltz Beckham’s film Lola in February.
If you’re anything like me, you might also appreciate that Selena’s glam is a full production. She enlisted longtime makeup maestro Hung Vanngo—yes, the same wizard who recently reshaped fiancé Benny Blanco’s brows on The Drew Barrymore Show—to orchestrate this entire hair metamorphosis. As Selena joked to Drew Barrymore, “This was not my idea,” though she clearly relished cheering Hung on while Benny nervously surrendered to brow grooming. Benny, for his part, quipped “He’s been begging me for so long,” proving even pop producers crave a little beauty intervention.
And before you ask, no, Selena and Benny haven’t locked in a wedding date just yet—despite online chatter fueled by a slip-up from Ed Sheeran on Australia’s Today show. Benny assured viewers they’re savoring engagement bliss and “taking it one day at a time,” a sentiment he reiterated to Rolling Stone in March. So yes, there will be a glamorous invite for Ed—just not this instant.
Naturally, Selena’s look is part of a broader celebrity hair trend this year: from Chris Pratt’s buzzcut to Florence Pugh’s rainbow mohawk and Sebastian Stan’s shaved head for Thunderbolts. But only Selena manages to fuse summer-ready ease with a fringe that frames her face like an Instagram filter come to life.
Need hairstyling pointers, darling? Keep this mind: choppy layers are your friend if you want to enhance natural texture. And bangs? They’re boldly on-trend but require upkeep—hence Selena’s quip about instant regret. So, unless you’re committed to monthly trims, maybe bookmark this style inspiration instead of immediately grabbing scissors.
Hope that cleared things up without overwhelming you.
