Vogue Williams turned heads at last night’s Bafta TV Awards with a blunt fringe that looked like a fresh new cut. This morning, she revealed on ITV’s Lorraine that it was not a haircut at all, but a hairpiece she unclipped live on air.
Williams said she was “not a full-time fringe girl” as she removed the piece during her entertainment segment. The reveal turned what had looked like a dramatic red-carpet change into a quick on-air trick, with the fringe coming off in seconds.
The 40-year-old wore the look on the red carpet after it was styled by Hadley Yates, who appears to have used the Full Fringe from Curated Hair Extensions. The piece costs £40 and comes in six shades, making it a low-commitment option for anyone tempted by a fringe without the scissors.
What made the reveal work was how real it looked. The fringe sat naturally enough at the Bafta TV Awards that it read as authentic, and the live clip on Lorraine made the switch all the more striking. The timing also gave the story a built-in second act, moving it from a fashion moment last night to an on-air reveal this morning.
For Williams, the message was simple: the fringe was for the occasion, not a permanent change. The red carpet may have suggested a new look, but the live broadcast answered the question outright — it was a hairpiece, not a haircut, and she is not keeping it full time.
