"Or in other words, do bangs take your hair (and maybe your whole look) down a couple notches on the formal-ness scale? Yes, this might win the random question award for the week, but it occurred to me when I saw this shot of Ali Larter at a screening of &amp;quot;Obsessed&amp;quot;. Which, by the by, I am kind of obsessed with, insomuch as the previews are making me want to brave one of NYC&amp;#39;s horrible, overcrowded movie theaters and see it a.s.a.p.\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: 2009 Getty ImagesSo here we have Ali. Beth polled you about the actress&amp;#39;s new bangs a couple weeks ago, and most of you liked them, or felt that Ali is one of those wenches who can do whatever the heck she wants to her hair and still be drop-dead. Anyhoo, this particular photograph got me to thinking: Do you always look way more casual when you have bangs, even when you&amp;#39;re dressed to the nines? (I don&amp;#39;t think this applies to the Audrey Hepburn classic bangs, rather the eye-grazing fringe that&amp;#39;s been a trend in recent years.) I love Ali&amp;#39;s pretty pink gown and soft, shimmery makeup so much, but I just want to reach into the photo and sweep all the extra hair off her forehead so we can see her face more.\nOk, maybe it&amp;#39;s just me, but here&amp;#39;s another example: Check out this photo of me from a black-tie wedding a few years ago. I remember trying to do an updo when I had bangs and finding that I still looked kind of ... well, un-fancy. I ended up kind of shoving them to one side, when in retrospect, pinning them back probably would have made the whole look much more polished.\nPinterestFacebookAnyway, is this just a weird opinion of mine, or do you ever like to lose the bangs when you get dressed up (for those of you who have them)? Maybe it&amp;#39;s just my weird opinion. I guess we&amp;#39;ll find out once you guys chime in. Also: Are you guys obsessed with seeing &amp;quot;Obsessed&amp;quot;?\nIf you do want to make your bangs disappear next time you get very dolled up, here&amp;#39;s how.\nMore Cool Ways to Get Glamour.com Wherever You Go!\nAdd glamour.com to your Google homepage, or follow The Girls in the Beauty Department on Twitter.\nTop photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
