Eva Longoria has always been a style icon, but now she has given fans a fun, playful peek into her latest beauty adventure, debuting bangs for fall. Taking to her Instagram Stories, the "Desperate Housewives" star shared the behind-the-scenes of what looked like a spontaneous (and slightly hilarious) transformation session with her longtime hairstylist Ken Paves.
It all started when Longoria appeared on camera wearing a dramatic hairpiece that gave her a full set of blunt bangs. Channeling her mischievous side, she turned to Paves and asked, “Kenny, you like my hair?” Her teasing grin quickly gave way to laughter as she admitted she couldn’t quite figure out how to take the fake bangs off.
From Blunt to Curtain Bangs
But this wasn’t just a quick laugh. Paves was clearly scheming something more stylish. “I’m getting inspiration,” he said in the background, to which Longoria quipped back, “Someone’s getting bangs.”
That’s when the real magic began. In the next clip, the duo ditched the heavy blunt look and started experimenting with a softer, layered style. Paves tried a ’70s-inspired curtain bang, a subtle yet chic cut that frames the face without committing to the full drama of blunt fringe.
“Now we’re getting somewhere,” Longoria wrote across the screen, clearly warming up to the look as she admired herself in the camera. She even commented, “I love the color,” highlighting not just the cut but the way the new style brought out the richness of her hair.
The Curtain Bang Comeback
Curtain bangs have made a huge comeback in recent years, embraced by celebrities and stylists for their versatility. They’re flattering on nearly every face shape, easy to grow out, and can be styled in countless ways—from casual waves to sleek updos. For Longoria, whose timeless beauty has made her a red carpet regular, it’s the perfect way to refresh her look without going for a total reinvention.
Whether she officially commits to the curtain bang trend or sticks with her signature sleek look, Longoria has already sparked conversation. Hairstylists everywhere will no doubt have clients referencing her Stories as inspiration in the coming weeks.
In mid-September, Eva was captured in New York City sharing her candid insight into the emotional ride behind her latest project. Returning to the U.S. to promote 'Necaxa,' her new docuseriesRyan Reynolds.
“They said prepare for heartbreak,” Longoria shared. “’Cause sports is so emotional, with all the ups and the downs. It is an emotional roller coaster.” Longoria co-owns Club Necaxa, a Mexican soccer team she’s been working to revitalize, a journey the series documents in full.
