Sassy Bangs Alert! Katie Jumps on the Bandwagon

Saturday December 1, 2007
Katie Holmes recently showed up at the annual Bambi Awards in Germany with a sassy new 'do, pictured here. She joins a long line of us who have jumped on the heavy bangs bandwagon: Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Christina Ricci, me (ha!), Zooey Deschanel and Kate Moss. But while most of these women have kept their hair long, only Ricci and Holmes have dared to go for a short bob, which I adore. See photos of celebs with bangs and photos of bobs.

Just got my hair cut again and I asked for heavy bangs (before they were a bit more sideswept like Reese's here). Antonio did an amazing job (as always) and I feel like a real New Yorker. The only obvious downside to heavy bangs is the upkeep. They need constant trimmings. The great thing is most salons offer free bang trims in between haircuts.

Hi! I wear glasses and I don’t know whether or not those bangs would look good on me. I also have those side swept bangs, but would like to change it up a little bit. Oh, and I have a heart shaped face. Thanks!

“Katie” is hardly an older woman.Give me Barbara Minty McQueen any day.Sure bangs are great for hiding wrinkled foreheads,but my fine, wavy hair won’t be tamed that way,especially since I only have use of one hand to style my hair since my stroke four years ago at age 45.I did the straight sleek bob in my early 40’s,I need something a little more creative.
