Demi Moore turned heads at Milan Fashion Week with a dramatic new hairstyle, sparking debate among fashion enthusiasts. The 62-year-old actress debuted bangs in Gucci's short film The Tiger, directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn. Moore stars as Barbara Gucci, the fictional Head of Gucci International and Chairman of California, in the film that premiered on Tuesday night.
The film, which replaces a traditional runway show, features an ensemble cast including Kendall Jenner, Keke Palmer, Ed Norton, Elliot Page, and others. It accompanies a lookbook of Gucci's latest designs by new creative director Demna, formerly of Balenciaga. Moore wore a gold and burnt-orange crystal-fringed gown to the premiere, the same dress she wore in the film.
Moore has a history of bold hair choices, from a pixie cut in Ghost (1990) to a buzz cut in G.I. Jane (1997). In a 2022 interview, she said, 'I've done everything to my hair. I've shaved it. I've dyed it. I've had a bob.' She also noted that she prefers wigs for drastic changes: 'If they really need my hair different, they can give me a wig.'
The actress has long defied age-related hair stereotypes, having worn waist-length hair for years. 'I remember hearing someone say that when women get older, they shouldn't have long hair. And something about that stuck with me,' she said. 'I'm not comfortable with rules that don't seem to have any real meaning or justification.'
