The 2025 BAFTA Awards are in full swing, and there are so many show-stopping beauty looks to unpack. From Kelly Rutherford's statement winged eyeliner to Cynthia Erivo's frosted eyeshadow, there have been plenty of makeup trends to sink our teeth into, but it's the hair trends that have really stolen the show this year. Side parts, glossy finishes and sweeping side fringes have all been spotted on the red carpet, but there's one hair trend in particular that celebs can't get enough of. Yep, I'm talking about curtain bangs.
