There's no better time than winter to transform your look; and catwalk trends are all pointing to sexy, smouldering fringes. Here's a guide to the celeb' looks to inspire you.

Bangs.  They aren't for everyone, but get the right type and they can transform your appearance and create a dramatic look. They suit many different style cuts - part of the trick is to get the colour right and pick a fringe that suits your face shape. Plus, you can always pull them back in a slight quiff with hair clips if you want a clear face.
