Trust Me—These Are 37 of the Best Celebrity Hairstyles Ever
From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you're looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here's my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But since they switch up their hair as often as we change our T-shirts, choosing a favorite celeb hairstyle can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.
To make things easier for you, I've rounded up some of my favorite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.
Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.
Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I'd hazard a guess that it's of the most-requested styles at the hair salon too.
Jaws dropped when Billie Eilish stepped out in this '70s-inspired blonde shag earlier this year, waving goodbye to her trademark green strands.
Gigi embraced 2021's color of the year, copper, for her latest hair makeover.
Jourdan Dunn's feathered fringe and super-long strands are a match made in hair heaven.
Rosie HW is one of my hair inspirations, but it's her pared-back, beach-wave style that I love the most.
How glamorous are Willow Smith's Bantu knots and face-framing tendrils?
Pastel hair colors are trending. Might be trending winter, but Lucy Boynton was ahead of the curve with this icy-blue bob that she wore to this year's Met Gala.
For blow-dry inspiration, look no further than Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex's hair always looks so damn voluminous and shiny.
Every day is a good hair day for Sienna with her tousled waves lending a boho vibe to her wardrobe choices.
Singer Jorja Smith's ponytail has become something of her signature style. Wearing it super high like this creates major '90s vibes, which I love.
It's not just J.Lo's skin that's seriously glowy—look at the shine on her hair! Lopez is the queen of the slicked-back style as this braided bun proves.
In one of the best celebrity hair transformations ever, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke moved about as far away from Daenerys Targaryen as you can get with this layered pixie cut.
Ashley Graham keeps her ponytail sleek at the roots and voluminous at the back for a glam take on the two-minute style.
Laura Harrier often takes to the red carpet with glam retro waves, but I'm all about her shorter curly bob.
Major fringe inspiration courtesy of one of my favorite beauty icons so far—Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner.
Model Adwoa Aboah's trademark buzz cut might be a style for the brave-hearted, but it always looks so damn good on her.
Yara's cute curly bob and micro-fringe always have me wanting to chop all of my hair off immediately.
Bella went from brunette to blonde and back again thanks to this chic ponytail hair extension.
Remember when Fearne Cotton waved goodbye to her classic long blonde hairstyle in favor of this cool shorter style?
VB usually styles her mid-length hair in one of two ways: a classic bun or a low ponytail like this super-chic one.
Out to prove that mid-length hairstyles are anything but boring, Gemma Chan's shoulder-length waves work for every occasion.
If you're looking for long hair inspo then Em Rata always delivers. This side-swept style is particularly beautiful.
How pretty are Nathalie's cascading curls in this red carpet updo? I'd expect nothing less from a self-confessed curl queen.
This cotton-candy-pink, pixie-cut delight looks beautiful on Helen Mirren. FYI—apparently we're all going to be dyeing our hair pastel this season too.
This��braided style from Beyoncé looks incredibly cool teamed with her sharply tailored outfit.
Lily James's new shorter 'do looks so stylish, and her yellow-blonde color is so on-trend.
I follow Thandie Newton for skin inspiration, but her classic curly hairstyles always look timeless too.
From makeup to hair, Margot can do no wrong when it comes to her red carpet looks—including these tumbling retro waves. So pretty.
A full fringe looks so incredible on Lizzo's long, curly hair.
Always channeling French-girl hair at its finest, Kate has kept her boho lengths and center parting looking fresh since the '90s. Iconic.
K-Mids always serves up hair inspiration for her public appearances with these classic curls being a firm favorite.
This was possibly one of my favorite hair transformations ever. I think that Kim K. looks absolutely incredible with this shiny bob hairstyle.
I adore the contrast between Hailey's sharp ends and the gently tousled lengths for her shoulder-length bob.
Let's face it: Jen has given us decades of amazing hair inspiration, but it's her sleek, layered style that always springs to mind first when I think of the actor.
It's not just Rachel Stevens's down-to-earth style that we love; it's her hair, too. This headband-and-beach-wave combo looks so good.
I'm going to need all the pearl hair clips thanks to this elegant side-swept style from the glam Tess Holliday.
Zoë Kravitz is probably my ultimate beauty crush, and this pixie cut is just one of her amazing array of hairstyles I love.
