In case you didn’t notice, Kristen Stewart has been slowly cutting away at her hair. What started as a long, trendy wolf cut last year began paring away as we entered 2026, becoming a short-on-top, long-in-back mullet that eventually became a not-so-short-in-back mullet. But it appears she’s taking the Cannes Film Festival as an opportunity to show off what’s now decidedly a bixie—and a surprisingly versatile one at that.
Stewart made her first appearance at this year’s festival on Saturday, initially at the photocall for Full Phil, in which she stars alongside Woody Harrelson. She wore Chanel, as she’s wont to do at events like this—this time a sheer skirt suit paired with what appears to be vintage Nike saddle shoes. But as eye-catching as the ensemble may be, the centerpiece of the look is arguably her hair.

Her short cut has been styled in a way that combines a bit of 1950s greaser look with a teased mall-bangs vibe—definitely one of a kind in front of the Cannes cameras. But just hours later, on the red carpet for the film’s screening, Stewart had completely changed it up.
The actor stuck with the see-through Chanel theme, wearing a red and black beaded gown with an almost crochet-esque effect. And topping it off was the most classic ’90s interpretation of a bixie: middle-parted curtain bangs that give way to hair just long enough to tuck behind the ears, with a little shaggy length in back.
