Blake Lively
The actress shared a short clip on Instagram in January 2018, revealing a dramatically different hairstyle. Even though this might be a wig, as Lively is currently filming a movie called The Rhythm Section, the short brown style totally suits the usually blonde actress.
Emma Watson
When: January 5, 2018
What: Short, Choppy Bangs
Why we love it: Emma Watson isn't afraid to experiment with her hair. Remember that pixie cut? The actress and humanitarian quietly debuted short, choppy bangs in an Instagram post in which she shared her latest book club recommendation. Watson now has bangs, beauty—and brains.
Ciara
When: January 4, 2018
What: Long Braids
Why we love it: Ciara is starting 2018 off with a brand-new hairstylist. The singer debuted ultra-long, beautiful braids in a series of Instagram images shot by her husband Russell Wilson.
Julia Roberts
When: December 19, 2017
What: Red Hair
Why we love it: Julia Roberts just returned to her roots with a new (old) hair color we all know and love on her—bright red. Likely for a new film, the shade looks just as fresh and fun as it did during her Pretty Woman days.
Blake Lively
When: December 2, 2017
What: Dark Pixie
Why we love it: Blake is known for her long, blonde locks, and she looks completely different with this short, dark style. It's proof that she can be a beauty chameleon.
Lily Collins
When: December 1, 2017
What: Golden Blonde
Why we love it: Lily Collins tricked us all into thinking she dyed her hair a golden blonde shade not unlike Selena Gomez's new color. But she later shared on Instagram that she's back to he natural hair color...for now. Considering she's tried various shades of brown and fire-red before, blonde could be her next big move.
Ariana Grande
When: October 7, 2017
What: "Grey" hair
Why we love it: The singer debuted a new color that she calls "grey" (even though there appears to be a pink tint to it—that could be the effect of a filter) on Instagram.

Why we love it: Elle Fanning is leading the way in fall haircolor inspiration by dyeing her sunny gold tresses a rich cocoa shade that really flatters her porcelain skin.
Halle Berry
When: August 20, 2017
What: Purple Streaks
Why we love it: Halle Berry might have just turned 51 (we know, we can't believe it either); but she proves she can still effortlessly pull off youthful hair trends, like dyeing her hair with streaks of a fun hue.

What: Aqua Hair
Why we love it: Rihanna just debuted an aqua blonde hair color that matched her sunglasses and tee shirt perfectly.
Vanessa Hudgens
When: August 2, 2017
What: Graphic Bob and Bangs
Why we love it: The blunt cut! The wavy texture! The new bangs! There's a million reasons to love Vanessa Hudgens' graphic new hairstyle, but we're partial to how just a few small tweaks to a regular bob made her look like an entirely new version of herself.
Sarah Hyland
When: August 1, 2017
What: Cinnamon-Chocolate Brown
Why we love it: Sarah Hyland ditched her golden blonde lob for a new shade (and length!) that is sure to make you hungry.

The mix of warm brown and red is perfect for fall, and the longer length makes Hyland almost unrecognizable.

What: A Buzzcut
Why we love it: Kate Hudson has always sported her signature beachy blonde waves but she rocks her new edgy buzzed look just as effortlessly. The makeover is for her role in the upcoming film Sister, which is written and directed by Sia.
