Alexa Chung and Rachel Weisz’s new hairstyles are not bang on

Alexa Chung and Rachel Weisz both showed off new hair this week: loose, piece-y bangs that hit below the brow line. Frankly, we’re not sure if the look works for either. While Chung is usually the queen of turning casualwear into pretty and polished, she looked rather frazzled at the 2011 British Fashion Awards. (However, she still won the British Style Award!) Actually, Chung’s makeup artist should take some of the blame. While “no makeup” is on trend, it still requires a solid base—by the end of the night, Chung’s dewy skin just looked washed out. And with the new messy bangs hiding her eyebrows, the rest of her features seem to fade away.
Weisz, on the other hand, did everything right makeup-wise at last week’s photocall for Deep Blue Sea. Golden tones make the smoky eye totally casual, but the metallic sparkle gives it a red carpet kick. Her rosy lips and cheeks match to the point where we’d believe it if they were the same product. But the bangs? They’re so distracting, and look as though she had them blown out to the side but decided at the last minute to push them together. We’re all for bangs—they’re a great way to change up your style—but for Chung and Weisz they really need to be styled better.
