So, Are Gigi Hadid's New Bangs Real?

by Marlen Komar

Gigi Hadid showed up to the MTV Movie Awards on April 9 looking retro chic — not only in her pinstriped suit, but also with her new accessory: some shaggy-chic bangs. But that only brings up a new question: Are Gigi Hadid's new bangs real or fake? While the wispy and jagged cuts frame her pouty face perfectly — and help add the overall rumpled, bed head look that she seemed to be going for — this new style could just be a non-committal dabble-ment in the fringe world. After all, one doesn't need to bust out the sheers when it comes to bangs. There's a whole operation of hair clip-ons out there that could help those who want to bite the bullet, but aren't ready yet, experiment with wispy fringe.

So does Hadid have bangs now, or was this just a fun but temporary new look for the special event? According to Refinery 29, we shouldn't get too attached to the look. The publication reported, "Don't get too attached, though! Hairstylist Jennifer Yepez, who also works regularly with Hadid, tells us those bangs are fake." While her red carpet stylist, Bryce Scarlett, has not denied or confirmed this yet himself, it's been reported that the shaggy new 'do was just for an evening. It looks like she got us again, just like she did with her short bob at the AMAs.

Who knows, though? Maybe Hadid will decide to make a temporary fling something more long-lasting. She did pull them off spectacularly, and they did add an extra femme fatale kind of punch to her outfit.

It was just the thing to make her lingerie peeking out from underneath that suit just the right mix of bed rumpled and classy. Just imagine how much these bangs could add to all her future looks. It's something to consider, Hadid!
