Alix Earle is making a definitive style statement following her split from Braxton Berrios, debuting “wispy bangs” just days after a vulnerable TikTok about navigating single life. The new look, revealed at Paris Fashion Week, signals a powerful moment of personal reinvention for the influencer.
In a move that speaks volumes, Alix Earle has officially entered her bangs era. The 25-year-old influencer debuted a fresh set of “wispy bangs” in a video shared to her Instagram, captioned simply with “Whoops.” The bold new look comes just days after Earle opened up in a vulnerable TikTok about processing her breakup from Braxton Berrios, making the hairstyle change a potent symbol of her new chapter.
Earle didn’t just share the change online; she took the fresh-faced look to the international stage, stepping out at the Jacquemus menswear fall/winter 2026/2027 show in Paris. Her outfit for the event—a voluminous black cropped jacket, fitted black pants with tassel details, and black pumps—was a chic canvas for her dramatic new hairstyle. This public appearance at a major fashion week cements her status not just as a reality TV star or influencer, but as a bona fide fashion icon in control of her narrative.
The timing of Earle’s makeover is impossible to ignore. Sources confirmed to PEOPLE in December 2025 that she had split from the Houston Texans wide receiver. The pair had been together since early 2023, after being introduced via a viral fan TikTok. For months, Earle referred to Berrios as “NFL Man,” and their relationship was a central topic during her run on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Notably, Berrios was notably absent from all live tapings of the competition, a detail fans quickly picked up on.
Following the breakup’s confirmation, Earle has been refreshingly candid about her feelings. In a TikTok video posted on Jan. 20, she admitted that being alone after a relationship “is so weird.” She described herself as a “boyfriend hopper” and framed this period of singularity as a form of “growth,” even while acknowledging her sadness. This raw honesty endeared her further to fans, who have watched her public journey with empathy.
Her vulnerability continued in a new YouTube series titled Get Real with Me. When asked if she had ever gone through a partner’s phone, Earle’s revealing answer was, “Of course, everyone’s… Except I’ve never gone through Braxton’s phone.” She clarified, “I trusted him.” This statement offered a final, poignant glimpse into the dynamic of her relationship with Berrios, contrasting her past habits with the unique trust she placed in him.
For fans, Earle’s “wispy bangs” are more than just a haircut; they are a visual representation of moving forward. In celebrity culture, a dramatic hairstyle change is often interpreted as a symbolic act of shedding the past and embracing a new identity. Earle, who built her brand on relatable, unfiltered content, is now showing her millions of followers what reinvention looks like. It’s a message of empowerment, signaling that even after a high-profile public heartbreak, one can emerge stronger, more self-assured, and ready to face the world on their own terms. Her evolution from “NFL Man’s girlfriend” to a solo force at Paris Fashion Week is complete, and the bangs are her official seal of approval on this new era.
