Mena Suvari’s bangs trauma: busted wiglet, or is this a real haircut?

wenn3564420

This should be evidence enough that:

A) It’s really, really slow today for gossip, and I blame both Linnocent and Moammar Gaddafi.

B) It was either this or a story about Paris Hilton.

C) Mena Suvari’s hair is bad enough that I’ve withdrawn my embargo on writing about people I barely care about.

D) I have very strong, negative opinions about busted wiglets and bangs trauma.

So these are photos of Mena Suvari at two different events this week. The pics where she’s in a sleeveless black dress are from last night’s Breast Cancer charity dinner, and the ones where she’s wearing the black dress with cap-sleeves are from a David Yurman event a few nights ago. Mena is debuting her new hairstyle, only no one really paid attention. Except for me, I guess.

Is it just me, or does it really and truly look like a wig? I’m not entirely convinced that Mena DID cut her hair. I think she just felt like having some temporary bangs trauma, just to see what it was like (devastating!). This is just the wrong cut to frame her face. Everything is too blunt, she needs some “softness” to make her face look less drag-queeny.

By the way, Mena signed on to the fourth (fifth?) American Pie film, American Reunion. Here’s the Red Band trailer, which doesn’t feature her at all.

    This isn’t her first round with bangs trauma. She’s gone down that unfortunate road for years.

  2. Sumodo1 says:

    C’mon! She’s needed SOMETHING to cover that Cinemascope forehead of hers for years. Just not full-on blunt cut bangs/pageboy.

  3. Leigh says:

    In most of your bangs (trauma!) posts, I agree with you.. but have you SEEN this girls forehead??
    It’s an improvement.

  4. STOPGOOP says:

    I think her bangs look cute! You said the same about Nicole Richie’s the other day and they were cute, also! I think you just don’t like bangs.

  5. aenflex says:

    it’s a wig, and i love it!

  6. ladybert62 says:

    I will probably be in the minority but I think that is a beautiful haircut. It frames and accentuates her face.

    Even the bangs are good.

  7. Shelly says:

    I think it’s her real hair. It’s not that bad, sheesh. Now, Cracken has some bad hair, but not Mena.

  8. Tanguerita says:

    whatever it is – I really like it. It looks cute and not drag-queeny.

  9. ShanKat says:

    She always seems to make odd hair choices. Didn’t she shave her head, too? Kind of a weirdo. But I like her. She has some kind of crazy lion or tiger tattoo situation, too. I have no idea why I know so much Mena Suvari trivia.

    It’s absolutely her hair, though.

    Let’s have the Paris Hilton! You know you wouldn’t have teased it unless you subconsciously wanted to put it up.

    I think that’s her hair and I like it. Mena is IMO one of those people who should always have bangs because her forehead is REALLY large.

  11. grabbyhands says:

    If she’s trying to channel Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, then two thumbs up. Otherwise, ummmm no.

  12. Ally says:

    They’re not in her eyes, and I think they look good.

  13. Nonny says:

    I’ve just had the worst haircut of my life. I have to wear my hair in a ponytail every day until it grows. You have no idea how much better I feel after seeing that photo though…..every cloud!

  14. Smithy says:

    She looks like a young Cruella DeVille.

  15. smh says:

    she aged so rapidly. lesson for all women at home, don’t starve yourself and get hydrated regularly.

  16. gg says:

    She actually looks way better than usual. It’s the forehead issue – she’s workin it here.
