EMILIA CLARKE
Emilia Clarke has brought her Game Of Thrones character into reality with this new Daenerys Targaryen-inspired colour! After years of wearing a blonde wig to transform into the ‘Mother of Dragons’, Emilia has finally taken the plunge, revealing the ‘magical moment’ on her Instagram.
BEYONCÉ KNOWLES-CARTER
Queen Bey has had the chop! The singer has shared photos of a new curly, chin-length bob on her website. It seems like Pinterest predicted correctly – curls are coming back.
LAUREN CONRAD
Lauren Conrad once swore that she’d never rock short hair again. But it seems motherhood has changed her. Last month, LC cut her hair into a bob and now she’s taken it even further with this chin-grazing cut. She’s giving us some major summer #hairspo!
KIM KARDASHIAN
She’s done it again! This time, Kim Kardashian has changed things up by chopping her long platinum locks into a blunt lob. We’re also surprisingly into those dark roots. Looking fierce, Kim!
LADY GAGA
Lady Gaga’s ditched her platinum blonde hair! The singer debuted her new copper blonde ‘do during a remote red carpet for the AMAs. But that’s not all – her hair stylist Frederica Spiras may have used a diffuser and curling wand to add extra bounce, but Gaga is also rocking a perm now. We’re loving the new look!
SELENA GOMEZ
Selena has gone platinum blonde for the AMAs and it’s the lightest we’ve ever seen her! It seems after recently reuniting with former boyfriend Justin Bieber, Selena is all about a fresh start. We love it, Sel!
EMILY RATAJKOWSKI
Emily has tried on blonde ombré for size! The actress snapped a pic and shared it on her Instagram with the caption, ‘Do they have more fun tho? ‘. As it turned out, this look was just a wig but we love the change and hope Emily does it for real!
LAUREN CONRAD
Lauren Conrad sent fans into a spin when she teased two photos of her hairstylist Kristen Ess choping most of her long ponytail off. Now, LC has unveiled the result: a textured bob. After swearing she would never get another bob, the new mum told People Style that she got the cut as a time-saver. “I have to blow dry my hair while my son is napping and it doesn’t always last that long, so less hair is less time. I don’t have time for a lot of hair,” Lauren said.
MILA KUNIS
The actress has been sporting a lob instead of her signature long locks this year. Now, her hairstylist Renato Campora has posted a new image of Mila with a 60s inspired, asymmetrical bob. So chic!
KATIE HOLMES
Katie Holmes has debuted a dramatic new pixie cut! The actress told People that the ear-grazing cut is for her new movie role as an ex-marine in The Doorman.
ARIANA GRANDE
Just weeks after going silver-grey, Ariana has added some baby bangs! Her mane is also looking a little less silver-grey and a little more silver-blonde. There is yet to be confirmation on whether the look is a wig or not, but we’re hoping it’s the real deal!
ROXY JACENKO
After being diagnosed with the disease a year ago, PR and Instagram queen Roxy Jacenko has dyed her hair candy floss pink to raise awareness about breast cancer. Roxy is an ambassador for TONI&GUY, who are offering blow dries and dry styling services in exchange for a $30 donation to breast cancer research for one day only (Tuesday 24th October). Guests will also be welcomed with a flute of pink champagne on arrival and gifted label.m X Giles Deacon sunglasses and a label.m Powder Pink Spray. We think it looks fab!
ARIANA GRANDE
Ariana has gone grey! The singer previously wore a wig of a simialr colour in a music video. She must have loved it so much that she’s decided to permanently ditch her signature dark locks. We are BIG fans!
CARA DELEVINGNE
Cara’s blonde buzzcut has all but disappeared. The model-turned-actress flaunted a pixie cut in a newly chestnut shade at the launch of her book Mirror Mirror. We’re feeling the brunette hue on you, Cara!
NINA DOBREV
“World meet Bob. Bob…world,” the actress captioned alongside a photo of her new ‘do. Nina’s hairstylist gave her an angled bob and fringe for her upcoming role as a Parisian artist in Lucky Day. So chic!
EMMA STONE
Earlier this year Emma ditched her signature red hair for blonde locks. Now, the actress has been snapped with another new ‘do. For her new project Maniac, Emma is sporting a chin-length bob – and rocking it!
KIM KARDASHIAN
Kimmy K has debuted platinum blonde locks at New York Fashion Week. She’s gone blonde before, but this time around we are LOVING the icy silver take!
PARIS JACKSON
Paris has ditched her bleached blonde lob for a darker hue and we did a huge double-take. Love this sophisticated vibe on her!
JESINTA FRANKLIN
She recently got one seriously lust-worthy fringe, and now model Jesinta Franklin has gone back to a honey blonde hue! Is there any hair look she can’t pull off?
KATE HUDSON
Our favourite bubbly blonde has shaved her hair off! Kate is said to be working on a new film with Sia, so it’s likely that this drastic change is due to the role. We think she pulls it off!
SELENA GOMEZ
Selena has been experimenting with her hair length all year but it seems she’s finally gone the full chop. The actress and singer debuted her new chin-length bob on her Instagram, wearing it wet and tousled. We love this freshness on Sel!
KHLOE KARDASHIAN
The Kardashians love their hair changes, but Khloe’s been blonde for quite some time. She recently stepped out with a new, darker shade of bronde (not quite brunette, but not quite blonde) and we’re loving it on her.
BELLA HADID
Bella has had her share of hair changes in 2017, but we love this chin-length chop with chestnut highlights! Some have even likened it to the infamous ‘Rachel’ cut that dominated the 90s after Jen Aniston made it famous on Friends.
LENA DUNHAM
After sporting a longer length since the final season of Girls, Lena Dunham took to Instagram over the weekend to debut this spikey, pixie crop with the caption: ‘Your mom’s therapist friend she leaves your dad for.’
EMMA STONE
Emma Stone has ditched her signature auburn locks (again!) for a strawberry blonde hue. The actress’ hair colourist, Mathew Soobroy, said it took over four hours to strip the red tones out of Em’s hair.
DANNII MINOGUE
Dannii showed off her new pastel hue at the Australian Hair Fashion Awards. We definitely didn’t see this coming from Ms Minogue, but it just looks so right!
KIM KARDASHIAN
Never one to do things by halves, Kimmy K has debuted not one, but two new ‘do lengths in the past week. Snipping goodbye her Rapunzel-length locks of the last two months (which is a lifetime in Kardashian years), Kim has gone from shoulder-grazing to seriously AH-MAZING in the blink of an eye. MAJOR hair envy RN.
LADY GAGA
Gaga celebrated her 31st birthday by dying her blonde locks dark! A Gaga with natural hair is possibly more dramatic than a Gaga with her many wild ‘dos! We’re loving it on her.
JESINTA FRANKLIN
Jesinta’s never been one to stick to a hairstyle for long! We’re loving her latest update – a sexy, shaggy fringe that’s bang on trend. LOVE IT!
JENNIFER LOPEZ
Another celeb jumps on the lob trend! Jen has ditched the long lengths in favour of a shorter ‘do. Is it just us, or is this the first time J.Lo’s been short in forever?
SELENA GOMEZ
Selena’s hair knows no bounds.
Just last month she was sporting long hair at NYFW, in December had a chic AF lob, and now the pint-sized star has gone and chopped her hair in what’s sure to be her shortest do yet! We. Can’t. Keep. Up.
CHLOË GRACE MORETZ
When Kristen Stewart stepped out with a peroxide blonde buzz cut last week, she made global headlines. But strikingly short, platinum blonde styles have been steadily growing in popularity for the past 12 months, and the most recent to join the ranks is Ms Chloë Grace Moretz. Clearly, (platinum) blondes are having all the fun right now.
CARA DELVINGNE
Cool-girl Cara has us going gaga for her new platinum blonde bob, first debuted over the weekend in Paris while out on the town with gf Kendall Jenner. This is the first time the cheeky model has really changed up her colour, and of course, we’re loving the blonde hair and dark brow combo. So Frenchy, so chic!
DEMI LOVATO
Demi has cut her long lengths off into a lob! And while she’s certainly not the first celeb to jump on the long bob bandwagon this year, we think her new look is definitely one of the best.
KRISTEN STEWART
Kristen’s certainly never been one to be afraid of standing out from the pack! The actress has bleached her locks platinum then buzzed them off completely! A bold choice that shows off her enviable bone structure.
KATY PERRY
It’s going to be a big year in Ms Perry’s mane! Although it’s only March, Katy has already changed her hair three times! The Chained To The Rhythm singer chopped it all off after splitting from Orlando Bloom and we reckon this look is her boldest yet. Katy documented the entire chop via her Instagram Story on the weekend, debuting it on the iHeartRadio red carpet. Nothing spells change like shaving half your head, right Katy?
CHRISSY TEIGEN
In the cool, casual way Chrissy Teigen does Chrissy, our future BFF thought it’d be fun to cut her own hair just hours before the 2017 Grammy Awards last Sunday. Say whaaat?! Admittedly, celeb hair stylist Jen Atkin did most of the work (cue collective sigh of relief), but we’re throwing major props to our girl for razoring the ends of her dope new lob. Now, someone hand me the scissors….
EMMA ROBERTS
After seeing Emma Roberts as a blonde we were convinced that it was the ultimate hair colour for her. But now we’re second-guessing ourselves because she looks friggen’ amazing as a redhead. It looks like the actress has also tinted her brows to match the auburn locks.
ALLISON WILLIAMS
After going platinum blonde for the cover of Allure, Alison has since pared it back a bit with this honey hue. Alison told her Instagram followers that ditching her signature brunette colour has been cathartic and that this was her way of ‘saying goodbye to Marnie’ as Girls wraps up.
KATY PERRY
She’s been brunette, blonde, pink, green, blue, purple… We can barely keep up with Katy’s changing hair! The singer is currently showing off a new hair hue that can only be described as ‘blorange’ – bleached blonde at the roots with a touch of orange on the ends. She’s also had a considerable chop to the length, with her locks now sitting above her shoulders. We think she might be transitioning to platinum…
KATY PERRY
… And we were right! Katy posted a photo of her newly platinum blonde locks to her Instagram, captioning the snap, ‘New life who dis’. We’re loving this look on Katy and it’s just in time for her performance at the Grammy Awards this weekend.
NINA DOBREV
Nina’s hair was always enviably long, dark and seriously beautiful. But according to Nina’s hair stylist Riawna Capri, the actress has been dying to cut it off for years! And now she’s finally done it, showing off a choppy lob on the red carpet. “She’s so excited to have short hair!” Riawna told People. And so she should be – it looks stunning!
JENNA DEWAN TATUM
After chopping it all off into a lob last year, Jenna Dewan Tatum has embraced one of 2017’s biggest trends – XXL hair. The actress added mermaid-style extensions to her mane and voila! An instant hair makeover that allows Jenna to easily switch it up.
GIGI HADID
We always associate Gigi with tumbling blonde hair, so when we cited this red ‘do on her Instagram account, we had to do a double take! Though it’s surely a wig (FYI, this isn’t the first time she’s sported one), we’re pretty sure there are millions of girls showing this pic to their stylists RN. Move over Ariel, there’s a new mermaid in town!
EMILY RATAJKOWSKI
Emily’s long locks were always a big part of her signature sultry look, but it seems she was feeling a change. The model turned actress debuted her new shorter ‘do on the red carpet at the 2017 Golden Globes. Obsessed.
SELENA GOMEZ
After recently going a little shorter, Ms Gomez has fully committed and gone the shortest we have ever seen her. The short, textured lob is sexy, fresh and definitely worth taking to your hairdresser for some serious hairspo. Can I just copy and paste this hairdo onto my head please? Thanks.
BELLA HADID
Having recently gone through a break-up, supermodel Bella did what most of us have contemplated at some stage – she got a fringe! It’s bold, it’s blunt, it’s very Bettie Page (and VERY Bella!). But while we’re all for a post-break-up hair overhaul, Bella’s fringe turned out to be temporary.
Going ultra blonde doesn’t suit everybody even celebs
