Demi Moore Revives Her Iconic Bangs for the First Time Since Striptease Era
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Demi Moore is turning back the clock in the best way possible — by bringing back one of her most recognizable hairstyles. The 62-year-old Golden Globe–winning actress recently debuted her signature bangs for the first time since the late ’90s, when she starred as Erin Grant in the 1996 film Striptease.
On Monday, October 6, Moore shared the transformation on Instagram with a nostalgic caption:
“Bangs — now and then. Thank you @gucci for letting me bring back the fringe for the first time since the Striptease days!”
The post featured a side-by-side look: one image of Moore today, showcasing her new fringe, and a throwback shot from her Striptease role — reminding fans of the timeless appeal of her sleek, jet-black style.
A Glamorous Collaboration With Gucci
Moore’s fresh look ties into her latest project with Gucci. She stars as Barbara Gucci in The Tiger, a short film directed by Halina Reijn and Spike Jonze, released by the fashion house on September 23.
The actress wore her updated hairstyle — a soft, wavy blowout with full fringe — styled by celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. Giannetos shared his excitement about the creative process on Instagram, writing:
“When @demimoore called me to share the exciting news about her new film w @gucci and that she wanted me to create the hair for the character, I had the chills! Once the hairstyle was created, we knew it was the perfect look for the film.”
He also credited Gucci’s creative director Demna for envisioning the bangs, which Giannetos referred to as the “GUCCI BANGS,” saying Demna “always has the right vision.”
A Style Moment That Stands Out
In the first photo from her post, Moore kept her outfit casual yet effortlessly chic, wearing a simple white T-shirt and denim jeans, letting her hairstyle take center stage. The second photo offered a closer look, drawing a striking parallel to her Striptease days when the actress’s bold fringe became part of her signature aesthetic.
Moore’s co-star in The Tiger, Keke Palmer, chimed in on the post with a playful comment: “My girl ❤️😍.” Giannetos also celebrated the moment, sharing a carousel of images featuring Moore’s new look and glamorous film wardrobe, including a dazzling gold, long-sleeved gown that appears in The Tiger.
Bangs Are Back — and Trending
Moore’s bold return to fringe comes amid a wave of celebrities embracing the style. Recently, Nicole Kidman also debuted fresh bangs, catching attention as part of her post-breakup transformation following her separation from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage.
For Moore, however, the new look feels like a personal throwback — a nod to an era that defined part of her career while still fitting seamlessly into her current style. With Gucci’s creative direction and Moore’s timeless beauty, it’s clear that some looks never truly go out of fashion.
Would you like me to make this sound more fashion-editorial (with vivid descriptions of her style and presence) or keep it in this celebrity news tone that’s easy for general readers?
