It's Official: This "Dated" Hairstyle Is Making a Comeback in 2025—Lisa's Debut Is Proof

Wispy, curtain bangs have been en vogue for a while now, but a new style is poised to make a triumphant return. Side bangs are back, baby! If reading that sentence just sent a chill up your spine, I feel you. I remember wearing my side-swept style back in middle school, and at the time, I thought it was a mysterious, Tumblr-esque fringe. (It was actually just a thin section of hair flopping over my right eye.) The pictures haunt me to this day.
I thought my side-bangs era was well behind me, but then I saw Blackpink's Lisa sporting a very chic 'do at this past weekend's Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix. Her voluminous "Barbie" bangs were pushed to the side, which added a girly, cutesy touch to her gray blazer, scarf top, and simple, straight-leg jeans.
The style, coiffed by celebrity hairstylist Glen Oropeza, looks like a cross between the voluminous curtain bang and a side bang, which is what I suspect makes it appear so elevated for 2025. Curtain bangs, after all, continue to take the celeb set by storm. Sabrina Carpenter, Jenna Ortega, and Lisa herself have all been longtime fans of '70s-inspired fringe. Now, it seems those same celebs are sweeping those iconic curtain bangs to the side. Take Ortega's look for the London premiere of Beetlejuice, for example. "Sabrina Carpenter's curtain bang is looking a little bit like a side bang lately," agrees cosmetologist Alena Giuliani over TikTok, alluding to the pop star's recent tour looks.
Curtain bangs can instantly become side bangs with a simple flick of the wrist, so it's no wonder the two are merging to become winter's hottest hair trend. A curtain-bang devotee myself, I might even start sweeping them across my forehead to switch things up in the name of celeb-inspired holiday glam. My middle school self is squealing.
