Hair Highlights: Fringe Benefits

Seeing Is Believing: A slight curl keeps actress Cobie Smulders's bangs from completely covering her peepers.

Hidden Agenda: With dark shades, heavy fringe and an over-sized scarf, Olivia Wilde stays incognito (almost) while sight-seeing in Berlin.

Chop To It: Long, rocker layers and bangs give Jennifer Love Hewitt's look a little edge.

Straight Talk: Kelly Rowland's blunt bangs and super-straight straight hair could look severe, but keeping the fringe piece-y at the ends softens the effect. (The happy smile doesn't hurt either.)

Buddy System: Pals Rashida Jones and Nicole Richie both opt for long bangs that start further back on the head, perfect if you have a smaller forehead and hair that lays smooth.

What About Bob? Model Lydia Hearst's shiny blond bob seems to be an ode to Michelle Pfeiffer's Scarface look.

The Weight Of Things: Heavy-duty bangs like Analeigh Tipton's help weigh down wavy hair and make styling easier.

Short Order: With a naturally long face, bangs that are slightly shorter and on the wispy side flatter actress Judy Greer.
