Jennifer Lopez has long been our go-to when it comes to hair inspiration. Whether it's her own naturally curly hair which, in the midst of lockdown, gave us the push we needed to embrace our own natural texture, or – in stark contrast – an incredibly glamorous blow-dry that will remain indelible on our mental mood boards for event looks regardless of the trends.

The performer has also tempted us to try a fringe over the years, most recently with her latest 'do debuted on Instagram. The hairstyle, by Hollywood favourite Lorenzo Martin, combined tousled layers with a perfect full-yet-choppy fringe, which together had a softly shaggy '70s retro feel.

While details on what Martin used to created the look are sparse, no doubt he opted for some volumising hair products given its full-bodied finish. It's also likely he styled the lengths with a curling tong or wand for some loosely waved texture.

Adding to the freshness of the laidback look are Lopez's highlights. Peaking through her naturally brunette hair, the lighter pieces give her hair a sun-kissed aesthetic which feels signature to the star, whether styling her hair up or down, natural or 'done'.

But for those in the market for a new fringe, Lopez's is not the only one inspiring us. Not only dictated by your looks but your lifestyle, a fringe – whether blunt and brow-grazing or light and layered – should be tailored to you and only you.

Below, see more A-listers wearing fringes impossibly well to take to your hairdresser for starting ideas. As they demonstrate there's no one-size-fits-all, but there is a fringe for everyone.

The best celebrity fringes

Daisy Edgar-Jones

Since the BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People debuted, Daisy Edgar-Jones (behind character Marianne) became a modern fringe muse. Her lash-skimming bangs always walk the line between coquettish and cool.

Selena Gomez

True to King's advice, soft grown-out bangs can beautifully flatter a round face shape, as Selena Gomez proves with this romantically styled cut.

Zendaya

Haircut chameleon Zendaya has worn countless versions of bangs over recent years, but one of our favourites is this long, full fringe styled with a straight finish and soft volume.

Lucy Boynton

Lucy Boynton's fringed bob has timeless appeal, like that of Sienna Miller and Brigitte Bardot's parted bangs before her.

Caroline De Maigret

Model Caroline de Maigret has made the brow-skimming fringe her signature. Tousled texture and a subtle ombre colour complete this classically cool style.

Yara Shahidi

Curly girls should look to Yara Shahidi's fringe repertoire to see the cut's versatility. We love how it's worn here, side-parted with her boxy bob.

Kate Middleton

Nodding to Farrah Fawcett's famous blown-out fringe, the Princess of Wales injected some '70s energy into her look recently with this layered cut.

Elizabeth Olsen

A soft, piece-y fringe perfectly complements Elizabeth Olsen's long, layered style – and requires less maintenance than a blunt cut, too.

Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung's fringe swings from full-blown school girl to side-swept depending on the season.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain's wispy fringe oozes effortless cool and injects a youthfulness into her look.

Emma Watson

Ideal for fringe beginners, Emma Watson nails a soft, centre-parted style that can be hidden when wanted.

Florence Welch

Florence Welch's heavy fringe is part of her signature look – often accessorised with broken curls or waves.

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel remains a 20th-century fringe pin-up, having inspired fans with this chunky school-girl fringe for over a decade.

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley often flirts with a fringe, whether it's thick and wide, like this throwback here, or wispy and side-swept.

Sienna Miller

Perhaps the most referenced fringe of the '00s, Sienna Miller's parted bangs from her Alfie, Layer Cake and Cold Mountain days are still heavily requested now.

Marianne Faithfull

In the '60s, the allure of the fringe was the domain of the sex kitten, popularised by Brigitte Bardot and Marianne Faithfull (pictured). We still love the look today.

Jane Birkin

Jane Birkin rocked a quintessential full fringe as part of her effortless boho look that decade – with so-coined 'Birkin bangs' being just as coveted now.

Pattie Boyd

Pattie Boyd kept her light fringe eye-skimming, which added a little edge to her more polished take on the trend.

Brigitte Bardot

The original fringed bombshell, Brigitte Bardot, was famed for this style in the '60s. Iconic in itself, we still want this parted French-girl fringe today.

Audrey Hepburn

The enduring poster girl for the 'micro-fringe', Audrey Hepburn's baby bangs were signature to her gamine aesthetic. The style which looked so fashion-forward in the '50s can now be seen on modern-day muses such as Audrey Tautou, Emma Watson and Lily Collins.
