60 of The All-Time Best Celebrity Pixie Cuts
From Mia Farrow to Zoe Kravitz, here's a crash course on short hair in Hollywood.
So you're craving a major hair change. May we suggest trying the pixie cut? To prove that pixie cuts are universally flattering (and provide a bit of inspiration for your hairstylist!), we've rounded up the women who have inspired us with this short hairstyle over the decades. From, Twiggy to Teyana Taylor, it's time you try the A-list short 'do.
Charlize Theron, 2020
Charlize Theron proves you can style the pixie for any occasion, including the red carpet. This cut was done by hair legend Adir Abergel.
Zoe Kravitz, 2020
The coolest of all cool-girls has rocked the pixie for sometime now—and we become re-obsessed with it every time we see a photo of her. The tight style frames the starlet's face and showcases her delicate features.
Halsey, 2020
Singer Halsey shows off her ear-skimming cut while in the hot seat at Jimmy Fallon.
Teyana Taylor, 2020
Taylor is known for a few things: her amazing dancing skills (we'll never forget "Fade"), her abs, and her perfect choppy pixie cut.
Jada Pinkett-Smith, 2020
About a week into the new decade, Jada Pinkett-Smith deemed it the Era of the Pixie. She traded her blonde braids for a curly pixie with bangs, a switch we'll be bringing to our stylists ASAP.
Jodie Turner-Smith, 2019
It's the gorgeous finger waves, a nod to Old Hollywood Glamour, for me. She paired this look by hairstylist Larry Sims with graphic liner, a single drop earring, and a Gucci dress for a modern siren look at the Queen and Slim premiere.
Bella Hadid, 2019
Model Bella Hadid is no stranger to a hair makeover—like this slick pixie that she rocked at the 2019 Met Gala. More recently, she also rocked a shaggier platinum version for Dior.
Rowan Blanchard, 2019
"Chopped all my hair off happy 2019," Blanchard declared on her Instagram Stories when debuting her new look. But the change has proved timeless. At the Vanity Fair Oscars party, she juxtaposed the modernity of the cut with Old Hollywood waves.
Ciara, 2019
For the ACE Awards, Ciara took a "1, 2 Step" to her stylist's salon chair. She emerged with a choppy, dark pixie cut with layers and fringe. The simplistic look complements her enviable bone structure and, perhaps, pays homage to her 2009 flirtation with the chop.
Cardi B., 2018
For her first red carpet appearance since the birth of Kulture, Cardi B. pulled out all the stops—including this classic and elegant pixie cut, a collaboration between hairstylists Sean Christopher Fears and Tokyo Stylez.
Katy Perry, 2018
Hair chameleon Katy Perry ushered in her 30s with a short, bleached bob, telling W that it made her feel liberated.
Maria Borges, 2018
The Victoria Secret model made history when she wore her natural hair down the VS Fashion Show runway. The short style suits the beauty who has fluctuated from a longer fro to this short pixie fro.
Cara Delevingne, 2017
The model turned actress took the big chop in April 2017 and has been sticking with the short hair ever since. Delevingne can accessorize a pixie like no one else, adding headbands, clips, and bows to spice it up.
