Julia Roberts has switched up her signature hairstyle. On 27 March, the "Ticket to Paradise" star debuted a new fringe at the Watches and Wonders Geneva event in Switzerland, where she spoke on a panel as a Chopard brand ambassador. Celebrity hairstylist Serge Normant [1] executed the makeover, giving Roberts an eyelash-grazing fringe [2] that blended into shaggy face-framing layers [3]. The actor hard-launched her haircut on Instagram [4], posting a photo of herself modelling a Chopard design. "'Wanna Buy a Watch?'" she captioned the picture.
Roberts's fringe is a noticeable departure from the middle parting, medium-length hairstyle that's become her go-to in recent years. Throughout her career, she's mostly alternated between auburn and blonde shades [5], but Roberts also temporarily dyed her hair light pink [6] for a flamingo Halloween [7] costume in 2018.
It seems the itch for bangs is spreading through Hollywood this month, as many other celebrities have experimented with similar cuts. Just last week, Olivia Wilde [8] unveiled "French-girl" curtain bangs, and the week before, Leighton Meester [9] hit the red carpet with a choppy micro fringe. Other stars who've hopped on the bandwagon this year, whether through an actual haircut or a wig, include Gabrielle Union [10], Paris Hilton [11], and Blackpink's Jisoo [12].
