Celebrity fringe fest

Ever since Kim Kardashian broke out blunt bangs on New Year’s Eve after tweeting that she was considering the move, blogs have been asking whether the look was an inspired improvement or a misstep.

Her thick hair would work well in a blunt cut, and bangs would only emphasize her sexy eyes even more than usual. If you’re looking to start the year off with a hairstyle overhaul, here's a gallery of stars who've tested out the look to inspire you.
