Zendaya just proved that micro bangs are the hottest new hair trend this season. The actress graced a fan event for Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Mexico City on July 20 – and all eyes were on her luscious locks.
The actress embraced an Audrey Hepburn-inspired cut, with wispy, choppy bangs framing her bouffant updo. The new hairdo was courtesy of Ursula Stephen. The daring look was teamed with a custom Ashi Studio couture gown that featured a high neckline with long sleeves and a figure-hugging silhouette. The black dress featured lace panels set against sleek, silky material. The sleeve cuffs boasted long fringing at the trim for a daring, gothic-glam twist.
Zendaya’s makeup was crafted by Ernesto Casillas and featured fluttery lashes, a smoky eye, rosy cheeks, and a rosy-nude lip.
How to achieve Zendaya’s new micro bangs
Suzie McGill, Artistic Director at Rainbow Room International, spoke to us about Zendaya’s new micro bangs. “Zendaya sported a brand-new hair look. She had her hair styled into a voluminous bun updo at the top of her head, almost replicating that of the classic bouffant,” she shared.
“However, what stood out most was her new super-short, choppy fringe, often referred to as micro or baby bangs. Her bouffant bun is a timeless, elegant hairstyle, giving that Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe.”

Suzi also shared an insight into who would be able to pull off a similar hair look. “This fringe style is best for round face shapes, as being heavily textured, it can help break up the roundness and create the illusion of a more elongated face shape. It’s also great for those with square face shapes, helping to soften features such as strong jawlines, and for oval faces – like Zendaya’s – which can pull off most fringe hairstyles and, again, are great for adding harmony and balance to the face,” she shared.
“With this haircut, it’s so important that you visit a reputable hairstylist so they can tailor the length of the fringe to suit you, your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle.”

Crafted by celebrity hairstylist Coree Moreno, Zendaya’s locks were styled into a Grecian half-up half-down look with a braided crown. The look paired perfectly with her Schiaparelli’s fall 2026 couture gown that featured a marble sculpted corset with a fringed skirt.
