Love Island’s Maura Higgins stepped out at the movie premier of the new Argylle movie and let’s just say it was a huge slay.

The star showed up and showed off in a fierce Jean Paul Gaultier off-the-shoulder gown which saw an abstract butterfly motif printed on a bodycon jersey to show off her insane silhouette.

Whilst earning serious style points, it was her new hairstyle that she debuted on the red carpet that stole our attention.

The star swapped up her usual brown bouncy locks for a sharp micro-fringe and a slicked back hair look, nodding to one of the big hair trends of 2024.

Some may say it resembles Spock from Star Trek, but for us it's 10's across the board. It could have been a risk, but for us it's a winner all around.

Fans took to Instagram to comment on Maura's post saying: "Beautiful Maura. Can we take a moment for the hair."

Whilst another followed with "My favourite look yet Maura. You always exceed my expectations and I love it".

Whilst we were obsessing over her new triangle bangs, we noticed that just two days prior a Hollywood actress sported the exact same style.

Attending the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show in Paris, Zendaya left our jaws on the floor in a gorge look.

Sporting a floor length black dress with a dramatic satin train, fans went wild. However, it was her new blunt hairstyle that stole the show.

Just like Maura, the 27-year-old went for the block fringe and used two strands of hair to give it a vampire edge.

We're so obsessed with this throwback trend resurfacing and you may ask what's so great about these hairstyles? Not only do they perfectly frame the face to highlight the glam and frame the face effortlessly, but they also give a fresh take on a traditional style.

We love seeing queens come together to set a new trend as even Camila Cabello posted a snap to her Instagram recently showing off her new style. We think it's pretty safe to say this gothic look isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

What is a micro fringe?

It’s simple, it’s your usual full fringe that is taken up to an extra small length. Usually, you find a fringe will skim the eyebrows, or if you’re Claudia Winkleman, nearly covers your eyes.

Whereas, this style seems them being chopped to a length of around 1-3 inches in length. Therefore, giving off that rockstar vibe.

Bangs are very much their own trend, however they do require some extra maintenance because lets face it, no one wants to look like THAT scene from There's Something About Mary.

If you're looking at giving this style a go, then we advise taking a trip to the salon and not hacking away at it with a pair of kitchen scissors. After all, 2024 is the year of bossing it.

So, will you be giving the micro-fringe a shot?
