You could argue Zooey Deschanel invented the concept of “bangs as a personality trait.” Take them away, and she becomes practically unrecognizable — as the internet discovered during her 2013 Met Gala appearance sans fringe.

Zooey once joked that even her forehead is pale from years of bang coverage. And honestly? We believe her. She’s been a “bangs girl” since childhood, and she’s not letting go anytime soon. They’re whimsical, retro, and charming—just like her. In a world of shifting trends, Zooey’s bangs are the most consistent thing since the New Girl theme song.

Katy Perry might be over her bags now, but back in the day her pin up style bangs in electric blue were a full-blown cultural moment. We’re talking blunt, Bettie Page-inspired perfection. During her California Gurls phase, those bangs were basically pop royalty in themselves.

Katy must’ve known they were a very recognisable look, because it got to the point where she burned her blue wig in 2013 to signify the end of that chapter of her life. Very dramatic, but also kinda iconic, right? These days she goes back and forth with her bangs but sticks to black hair.
