Frankie Bridge looked almost unrecognisable as she debuted a new haircut on the red carpet at the TV BAFTAs – and it’s a huge change for the former Saturdays singer
Ever wondered how far celebs will go for a dramatic red carpet transformation? Well, Frankie Bridge has just given us the answer by debuting a brand new fringe for a single event.
The former Saturdays star turned heads at last night’s TV BAFTAs awards, looking unrecognisable after undergoing a vintage Hollywood-style makeover in honour of the ceremony. It seems Frankie took inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look in the film Sabrina, as their hairstyles are strikingly similar. The most noticeable change is the addition of a fresh fringe.
The 36 year old singer, who had been growing out her signature cropped hair into a shoulder-length bob over the past few months, has now opted for a micro (or ‘baby’) fringe, giving her an Audrey Hepburn-esque Parisian vibe, reports OK!. Frankie’s choice of haircut is bang on trend, with many A-listers sporting similar styles on red carpets and at fashion events. Pamela Anderson unveiled a stunning micro fringe paired with a chin-length bob at the 2025 Met Gala, exuding contemporary elegance.

Zoe Saldaña also jumped on the bandwagon, flaunting a sleek French bob with ultra-short bangs that added a dash of 1920s glamour. Miley Cyrus turned heads when she rocked up to the Oscars afterparty sporting a freshly cut micro fringe, giving off a punky, Berlin-esque vibe. Lady Gaga also made waves at the 2025 Grammys with her jet-black hair and sharp micro fringe, delivering a gothic, high-fashion statement.
Not to be left out, Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley joined the micro fringe trend, unveiling a choppy, punk-inspired version at the Fashion Awards 2024. So, who’s the next celeb to opt for the fringe chop? We’re not sure. But one thing we do know is that there’s no hairstyle Frankie can’t pull off.
