Katy Perry, the renowned American Idol judge, delighted fans by bringing back one of her most memorable looks from the mid-aughts. In a recent Instagram video posted on June 20, she unveiled brand-new baby bangs that instantly captured attention. The short clip showcased Katy’s tiny bangs, delicately grazing the middle of her forehead, elegantly swept to the side, perfectly complementing her loose and textured waves. With a watercolour-patterned long-sleeve turtleneck, a smoky eye, and nude lips, she exuded a captivating style.
This nostalgic hairstyle reveals held a special significance for the “Firework” singer as she celebrated the anniversaries of her albums, “One of the Boys” (turning 15 this month) and “Prism” (turning 10 in October), along with her chart-topping hit, “Teenage Dream” (turning 13 this year). While Katy’s announcement thrilled her fans, the focus shifted to her hair transformation, generating enthusiastic reactions from friends and fellow celebrities.
Chelsea Handler, a well-known comedian, commented, “Nice haircut!” Celebrity esthetician Shani Darden expressed her admiration, stating, “Love the bangs so much!!!!” A perceptive Instagram user summed it up, remarking, “She brought back the One Of The Boys era hair.”
Interestingly, this was not the first time Katy teased her hair change in recent weeks. Just a week prior, she briefly revealed her bangs in an Instagram video promoting her latest shoe collection. During American Idol’s top 20 reveal episode last month, she showcased the style with a slicked-back bun, accentuating spikey and textured bangs.
Katy Perry’s fondness for Bettie Page-inspired bangs is evident as she revisited her mid-aughts pin-up look in 2020. A year later, she flaunted short side-swept bangs reminiscent of her “I Kissed a Girl” days during a glamorous date night with fiancé Orlando Bloom at the Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures opening gala in Los Angeles on September 25.
Katy Perry has fearlessly experimented with her style throughout the years, but her latest choice reaffirms her enduring love for baby bangs. Continue reading to discover other A-listers who have recently transformed their signature hair looks.
