When Beyonce starts rocking bangs, you know it's time to start cutting your teeth on the trend.
The 33-year-old hit Paris this week with a brand new blunt fringe in tow. Whether or not it's a clip-on (the debate reigns on), it's an apt reminder that there's no more multitasking hairstyle in the book than the humble fringe.
Not only is it the easiest way to update your look, it's also surprisingly flattering and was a major hair trend on the SS15 catwalks (we loved the elegant, full fringe look at Chanel).
So if you haven't dabbled with a fringe since your school days, now may be the time to embrace it.
Celebrities are, of course, already there with all kinds of fringes gracing the red carpet thanks to the likes of Emma Stone, Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and more. But which style will most suit you?
From the cute and classic schoolgirl fringe to opulent side-swept bangs, we've hand-picked the forty best celebrity fringe hairstyles to inspire your next salon trip.
