Mariska Hargitayis having a fabulous hair day!
In a new carousel posted to Instagram on Thursday, theLaw & Order: SVUstar strikes adorable poses with her hairstylist, Chris McMillan, who’s known for inventing “The Rachel.” The celebrity hairdresser — who has worked with the likes ofCameron Diaz,Michelle PfeifferandSarah Jessica Parker— tousles Hargitay’s freshly lightened locks (styled in loose waves) while they smile cheekily at the camera together.
Earlier this week, Hargitay jumped on a recent hair trend: curtain bangs, which part down the middle for a flattering face frame.
The vintage cutmade a resurgence several years ago, with celebs likeSelena Gomez,Margot Robbie,Jennifer LopezandHalle Berrygoing for the chop. Now, it’s making the rounds again thanks to increasing popularity on TikTok.

Yet another noted how happy the two friends look in the snaps.
“Can honestly say I’ve never had that much fun at a hair appointment,” they wrote. “Enjoy every second.”

Earlier this week, Ashley Tisdale debuted a set of bangs of her own while filming for her brand, Frenshe. In new photos shared to Instagram on Tuesday, theHigh School Musicalalum showed off her freshly cut fringe, which falls just at her eyebrows.
What makes the style so effortlessly chic is the wispy front pieces that fan out to thicker face-framing parts.

But lest you think those two were the only celebs who cut their hair in the past week, you’d be wrong —Olivia Wildealsodebuted bangson Instagram in the past few days.
Last weekend, theDon’t Worry Darlingdirector, 39, showed off new bangs in a series of Instagram Stories. Wilde shared several photos from her weekend activities including one pic post-haircut.
“@MaraRoszak wouldn’t let me do my own bangs…” she wrote on top of a close-up selfie of the cute new bangs and the rest of her hair pulled up. “…which is the literal definition of friendship. Thank you Maraaaaa!”
