She wowed everyone at the LACMA Art + Film Gala with Audrey Hepburn-inspired baby bangs.
With a chill in the air and gala season in full gear, celebrities are turning out statement look after statement look that’s hard to not be obsessed with. The Academy Museum Gala, the CFDA Awards, and now the LACMA Art + Film Gala – this fall’s red carpets are giving us one unforgettable style moment after another, it seems. But this weekend, it was Cara Delevingne’s bold hair transformation that stole the show.
Delevingne arrived at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in a sleek black Gucci gown, but the real statement piece had to be her Audrey Hepburn-inspired baby bangs. Paying homage to the iconic hairstyle from Roman Holiday – where Hepburn’s character famously chops her hair into a short, gamine crop with baby bangs-Delevingne brought a modern twist to the vintage look.
Delevingne’s version of Hepburn’s bangs was a little edgier. Her bangs were ultra-short, stopping well above her brows, leaving just the right amount of room for those signature brows to pop. The ends of these bangs were cut in a choppy way to create a “perfectly imperfect” texture, adding a cute and effortless feeling to this style. Paired with her warm bronde hair pulled up into a loose, sculptural bun, the bangs added a touch of whimsy and elegance to her overall look.
This Hepburn-inspired update was courtesy of stylist Irinel de LeĂłn, who cut Delevingne’s bangs with loads of texture and volume. Instead of straight-across micro bangs, these had a soft inward curve – to give them a tufty, voluminous feel that framed Delevingne’s face beautifully. The bangs had a bit of a messy, natural styling to them, too, which served to help balance out the formality of her black gown and flicked-out cat-eye liner – to make her look chic, but never costumey.
Whether the bangs were real or a clip-in addition, they had everyone talking – and us adding baby bangs back to our fall hairstyle wish list. Most recently, stars like Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera have joined the baby bangs club with similarly retro micro bangs, proving the style is having its moment once again. With the holiday season just around the corner, it might just be time to consider going for a bold bang of your own.
Inspired by Delevigne’s hair switch-up, we decided to try out a different look with bangs on her using our free hairstyle try-on. In this AI-generated look, Cara wears a sophisticated, softly structured bob complemented by delicate, wispy bangs. The bob falls just above her jawline, framing it beautifully. Colorwise, this is a creamy, buttery blonde with cool, ash undertones, which fits her skin tone perfectly and gives it an inner radiance.
Bangs are feathered, with the ends hitting just above her brows. They are softly layered, giving them a light and airy feel that adds playfulness to the overall style. The ends of the bangs are cut with subtle variations to add movement and keep the look from feeling too stiff or severe.
The short bob is cut in a fluid, round silhouette with the edges gently arched in to create a smooth, natural flow that showcases her jawline. The off-center parting adds a great deal of visual volume to the otherwise sleek cut. It’s quite an elegant, mature look that fits more into Delevigne’s aesthetic as she matures into her early 30s.
Cara Delevingne’s version of Audrey Hepburn’s famous bangs was like a breath of fresh air on the streets of the LACMA Gala.
