Who better to demonstrate the bottleneck bang trend than Carla Bruni? The model and singer-songwriter, 54, attended Burberry’s autumn/winter 2022 show on Friday, showing off a fringe to die for—proving that this trend isn’t only for millennials and Gen-Zers, it’s universally flattering at every age.

With a French-girl finish and effortless texture, the bangs skimmed Bruni’s eyelashes, flattering her face structure. With longer pieces towards the sides, the bangs seamlessly graduate into her mid-length chop in a way that epitomizes the full- and grown-out fringe hybrid.

The bangs are a relatively new addition to Bruni’s look—in November last year, she was all about the bouncy blow dry and sported longer-length layers around her face. It was at the end of February, at the Off-White show, that she debuted the new chop, and she’s been styling the versatile new cut in different ways ever since.
