Month: November 2021

Florence Pugh Just Chopped Her Hair Into a Pixie Mullet & Dyed It Brown

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Mrs. Bieber went brunette for fall and looks stunning! We love that her colorist left some lighter pieces in the front to brighten her face.

It feels like every fashion girl on my TikTok FYP is getting a bob for fall. Selena Gomez just joined the club with her chic, blunt style.

Megan Fox

Hello, new look! Fox showed off her icy new hair on Instagram, writing: “This is what the devil’s daughter looks like.” What’s probably a wig is for her 2022 movie Johnny & Clyde, a Bonnie & Clyde update, also starring Tyson Ritter. It looks so cool on her, she should probably rock it IRL, too.

The Gossip Girl reboot star hit up the Savage x Fenty Vol. 3 show rocking a platinum blonde mullet. It’s a far cry from her character Zoya’s naturally curly hair.

Gigi Hadid

Although it’s not set to air until September 23 on Amazon Prime Video, Savage x Fenty is giving us sneak peeks of Vol. 3 of the ultra-hot runway show. We spotted model mom Gigi Hadid and her new baby bangs! They’re probably clip-ins but they’re cute enough to do for real.

Irina Shayk

Irina Shayk

The model showed up to New York Fashion Week looking totally different — and seriously chic — in a bob with bangs. It’s most likely a wig but it looks so good, we’re hoping she does it for real.

Camila Cabello

The singer first took to TikTok to show off her chic new bob — a far departure from her usual long locks. Response from fans was mixed, with many disliking the change and saying she looks too much like “Fifth Harmony Camila.” We think she looks incredible and like the grown-up performer she’s turning into. Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos is responsible for the blunt bob.

Chrissy Teigen

After seeing how good Kourtney Kardashian looks with short hair, Chrissy Teigen decided to join the celeb bob club. She credited hairstylist Sabrina Porsche for the sleek cut and style.

Lorde

We had to do a double-take when we saw Lorde’s (faux) blonde hair in her new music video for “Mood Ring.” She looks a lot like The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Kylie Jenner

OK, Kylie! The beauty boss rocked knee-length hair and a gold bikini to celebrate Kylie Cosmetics’ 24K Birthday Collection, which launches on August 10. Remember: this is the revamp with new formulas.And that

Zoey Deutch

Zoey Deutch

The actress was seen in full Y2K hair and clothing on the set of Hulu’s upcoming movie Not Okay.  Although it’s most likely a wig, Deutch famous friends love this look for her. “Wait I love your hair like this,” wrote Riverdale‘s Madelaine Petsch on Instagram. We couldn’t agree more.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Gabrielle Union

Often when a woman does the “big chop,” it’s because there’s damage to their hair or they had to cut it off for a reason. But Gabrielle Union is showing you can go ultra-short just because it looks amazing. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new,” she wrote on Instagram.

Emma Chamberlain

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of all of Gen Z making a hair appointment to copy Chamberlain’s cool-girl bangs.

Jennie

The Blackpink singer slays with Y2K-style full bangs. She credited hairstylist Preston Wada for the chop.

Margot Robbie

The actor covers this month’s British Vogue looking like a ’70s supermodel with caramel blonde hair and new bangs.

Paris Jackson

Y2K beauty and fashion are trending like crazy. Just take a look at Paris Jackson’s color-block hair. We’re loving the emerald green shade poking out from under her blond hair.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Florence Pugh

The actress is giving us Y2K vibes with pastel purple ends. We’re not sure who did the color (maybe she did it herself?) but the gorgeous waves were created by hairstylist Peter Lux.

Mullets are trending like crazy and apparently, Demi Lovato got the memo. The front of her hair is short and the back is all the way past her shoulders.

Ciara

“Pelirroja,” Ciara wrote on Instagram. (Pelirroja is Spanish for redhead.) The singer is looking stunning with long ginger hair giving off a bit of a sexy princess Ariel vibe.

Sophie Turner 

“Ya gal’s bang’d up,” the Game of Thrones star wrote on Instagram stories over the weekend. The choppy, piece-y style is different from the blunt bangs we’ve seen her rock before. We love this low-key fringe for summer because it’s easy to pin back or grow into curtain bangs.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Kim Kardashian

We’ve seen the media mogul try just about every hairstyle but the lob will always be our favorite. This one has a gorgeous curled-under ’70s vibe.

She’s back, baby! Hairstylist Clayton Hawkins gave Cosgrove pretty blonde highlights for the iCarly revival.

Kim Kardashian

Look who’s blonde again! But it was only for a few hours. Kardashian was shooting an upcoming campaign either for KKW Beauty or Skims. She actually did get her eyebrows bleached and we actually loved the look with her naturally dark hair. But then when they put the blonde wing on it was like, whoa. Right before she left the studio, she snapped a photo showing us she’s back to brunette again, including the brows.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Sabrina Carpenter

Say goodbye to curtain bangs and hello to ‘Bardot bangs!’ Hairstylist Laurie Heaps gave Sabrina Carpenter piece-y bombshell bangs inspired by the iconic French star Brigitte Bardot. We’re obsessed.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Selena Gomez

In an Instagram photo promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in April 2021, Gomez showed off her newly dyed blonde hair. The picture saw the former Disney Channel star light blonde tresses and dark roots. She most recently dyed her hair blonde in 2017 in a color dubbed by her hairstylist Nikki Lee as “Nirvana Blonde.” Gomez’s 2021 color was also done by Lee and Riawna Capri. “We’ve been doing Selena’s color for over a decade now. She typically keeps it pretty natural, but this time she went for a big change. This blonde is unique to her as we had to make sure there was an equal balance of cool and warm for her skin tone. It’s an edgier look and perfect for summer,” the hairstylists said in a statement.

Elizabeth Olsen

At the virtual launch of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier miniseries, Olsen debuted a totally different look from her usual copper-blonde hair. The bangs! The darker color! So chic.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Chrissy Teigen

We love how Teigen is playing around with wigs lately and experimenting with hair color. Although she only kept the silver shade for a day, we hope she brings it back. It looks amazing on her.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Kristen Bell

It seems like Bell is dressed up in character to film a TV show or movie but we’re loving these piecey bangs on her and we hope she keeps them up IRL.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

While filling us in on the Covid-19 relief package, AOC showed off her adorable new haircut. When followers commented saying they loved the chop, she replied, “Let’s not start another national crisis over it, right?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Gigi Hadid

The model mom returned to the runway, walking in the Versace fall 2021 show. Hairstylist Panos Papandrianos wrote “Ginger for Gigi” on Instagram, making us believe he really did dye the model’s hair this gorgeous red shade for the occasion.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Olivia Rodrigo

The ‘Drivers License’ singer jumped on the curtain bang trend thanks to hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. They’re subtle but make a big difference in her look. One interesting note: Sabrina Carpenter has them too.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Lana Condor

The actress looks so great in this pastel pink wig, maybe she’s considering doing it IRL? “Get ‘Anyone Else But You; to 5 mil streams and I’ll keep it,” she wrote on Instagram. Though, she told STYLECASTER last year, “I don’t know that I’d ever dye dye my hair. I think my mom would kill me, you’d know?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Ashley Graham

The model had everyone thinking maybe she got a pixie cut but her hair is actually the result of new growth post hair loss. “Postpartum baby hairs come through!” she wrote on Instagram.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Emma Roberts

A new color and cut for the birthday girl! “Emma always looks and feels her best blonde,” said her hairstylist and Nine Zero One co-founder Nikki Lee. “We decided to keep her a warm blonde and went for a ’90s supermodel vibe. With a new baby and a big birthday, we went out with a bang! Lisa Satorn added extensions for length and fullness. I kept her haircut free and flowing with piecey layers around the face.” Lee keeps her client’s hair healthy with the In Common 3 Step Treatment System ($105 at In Common).

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.

You Wouldn’t Believe My Fat Turtle Garbage Art!

garbage art

I’ve been riding out the pandemic on a small island in southern Thailand. I opted to stay put at my winter home, not returning to Canada at the start of the Covid-19 lockdowns. To keep busy on this remote island, I started cleaning the beaches by picking up garbage during my daily beach walks.

The monsoon winds blow inwards during the summer months and deposit garbage on our beautiful beaches. As I was doing my part to help clean the planet, I realized that the number of lighters that come in with the tides was obscene. I wanted to do something with them, to turn this garbage into something beautiful.

Art from Garbage

I started to envision a large sitting cat, the one I’ve been drawing since I was a young girl, made from the lighters. In my mind’s eye I saw a sculpture that lit up at night. I wanted to make it a reality. Long story short, my Happy Cat Garbage Art Sculpture is now hanging on the side of my house and lighting up the entrance way as a welcome sign for those who come visit after sunset.

Another Project Emerges

Ning and Will operate a great beach bar and restaurant called the Fat Turtle. I’ve known them for about a decade and frequent the Fat Turtle many times a week. It’s an amazing restaurant, especially at sunset and into the evening, with the best food on Koh Lanta.

It offers a perfect view of the Andaman Sea with the famous Koh Phi Phi in the distance, and the bright spots from the lights on the squid fishing boats far out on the sea. Ning, in her very Thai polite way, told me she loved my garbage art cat and wondered if I would consider making her a turtle.

I was totally thrilled and jumped at her suggestion. And best of all, Will offered to make a video of the build.

Real Art Has Followers

Two months later, and a few days after my Fat Turtle Garbage Art was mounted at the Fat Turtle Restaurant, I got a crazy phone call. I was asked if I would show my Happy Cat and the Fat Turtle Garbage Art sculptures at an exhibition in the provincial capital.

This request was so strange that I asked if the person was joking with me! Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be legitimate! The next day, my Happy Cat and the Fat Turtle Garbage Art sculptures were on their way to Krabi Town, about 2 hours away on the mainland.

The night of the exhibit opening, as a featured artist, I participated in the ceremony. I sat in the stage area with the other artists and met Thailand’s Cultural Minister. It was a surreal event for me being the only foreigner in this very Thai celebration.

It was both televised and live on YouTube, with lots of photographers, and those super bright spot lights rotating in the sky.

The Minister asked me why I started to build my garbage art sculptures. I told him I wanted to make something beautiful from the ugliness on the amazing beaches of Koh Lanta. He replied that I had accomplished my goal. What a thrill that was! The exhibit continued for 10 days and now the pieces are back on Koh Lanta.

Prepare for Whatever Life Throws at Us

We never know when the unexpected will happen, so always have a positive attitude and try new things. You never know where it will lead.

Have you attempted any strange projects that brought you a following? What projects keep you busy these days? Do they serve double duty? In what ways?
