Zendaya proved that you can’t enter a new phase without a change of look.
Days after showing off her engagement ring on the Golden Globes red carpet, she attended a screening of her film, Challengers, where she was seen with long, deep chocolate-colored hair and thick bangs. As the hundreds of videos on TikTok and Instagram prove, the decision to add bangs to a look is not one that is taken lightly, but there are times that warrant the risky change, and her engagement to actor Tom Holland is definitely one of them.

And while it is true that a lot has changed since then, Zendaya ‘s ability to wear this type of bangs is not one of them.
