18 Celebrities Who Give Us Major Bangs Envy (remake)

Taylor has done a lot of growing up in the public eye over the past few years. 

Swapping her girl-next-door curls for sleek and chic bangs played a huge role in her more adult persona.

 Please take those Carrie Underwood-esque curls and show yourself out. 

With a cool name like Brooklyn, it's best to get yourself some cool-girl bangs.

We assume it can be easy to get lost in a crowd when you go through life as Mrs. Justin Timberlake, and this look did not help poor Jess.

Jessica somehow managed to escape her destiny as the world's most boring celeb (just kidding; she'll always hold that title). That being said, she's one starlet who has tried bangs and hasn't gone back, because she looks so gosh darn adorable. It's a shame we never get to see them in, oh we don't know, a movie?

Bangin'.

Ditching her Blair Waldorf roots and going the bangs route was a genius move for Leighton. 

Her carefree, shaggy cut is something Blair would have never approved of, and we have a feeling that's just what she was going for.

Sandra is a great example of how bangs can make you look younger.

They cover up pesky forehead wrinkles and make you seem fresher and brighter. 

NO THIS IS TOO MUCH CHANGE ALL AT ONCE. No other celeb is as known for their bangs as Zooey, so when she showed up to last year's punk-themed Met Gala and introduced us to her forehead that we had never met before, we were scared and confused, naturally. We're not saying she didn't look pretty as can be (did she not get the punk theme memo, by the way?). 

But we love her signature bangs too much to let them go without a fight. 

Jennifer's always been cute, but her style wasn't necessarily memorable. 

Bangs did wonders for Jennifer Hudson's face, making her look more relaxed and confident. They also make her dark eye makeup appear less severe, and generally smooth out her features. Total win.
