When it comes to hairstyles, we often think that women look their best with long hair. But there are many celebrity Hollywood actresses, female singers, and models who proved us wrong again and again.

Famous Celebrities with Short Haircuts
Check out how some of the hottest female celebs have worn their hair short, then pick out a style that flatters your face and ignites your imagination.
1. Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid’s bob is all about that high glam. Cut at an even length, these retro Hollywood waves and deep side part add an essential softness that feels irresistible. This look can work for virtually all face shapes.
2. Katie Holmes
Done in an iconic flapper style, this sleek bob lays close to the head and uses peicey bangs to open up the appearance of the face. This look isn’t as fussy as it seems, however. A few shorter layers make this style feel sexy. It’s ideal for an oval shaped face.
3. Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams is THE iconic pixie girl, though this style is pretty long for her usual. It’s the deep, sweeping bangs with a few flipped layers that constitute the majority of the look. The side part instantly elongates a round face shape, so consider this look if your face is like Michelle’s.
4. Rihanna
Rihanna can do no wrong, and this lob style is no exception. The beachy, textured waves have almost a wet look, which is perfect for spicing up a blunt cut bob.
The bangs are kept straight, however, but not precise. Part them down the center to reveal your forehead and create length without truncating the appearance of the face.
5. Natalie Portman
Another pixie babe, Natalie Portman’s closely cropped hairdo is androgynous, making it perfect for a small, feminine face.
This short hairstyle resembles actress Ruby Rose’s signature hairdos, featuring tiny, baby bangs swept to one side for a gentle touch.
Short, easy layers give this cut a bit of interest and a slight sense of movement.
6. Teyana Taylor
What’s not to love about Teyana Taylor’s micro bangs? This sexy crop is a true bare-it-all style, so consider it if you have strong eyebrows and a gorgeous face. To pull the look together and frame the eyes, let a small portion of side burns grow over the front of the ears.
7. Victoria Beckham
Known for her style just as much as her short, sexy hair, Victoria Beckham proves time and again that short hair can be feminine. This angled bob is great for babes with lots of hair looking to use their texture as part of their overall style.
The bangs should be long on this look and feed seamlessly into the rest of the hair. Draw the eye in and paint on caramel highlights on the lower front portion of the hair.
8. Tyra Banks
Tyra’s look takes simple straight hair and gives it all of the fixings! Gorgeous caramel highlights add interest while short, choppy layers break things up and imbues the look with movement. Choppy side bangs feel so right on this look and is perfect for oval face shapes.
9. Pamela Anderson
Though she isn’t typically known for short hair, Pamela Anderson makes this retro look work for her. Short, soft layers frame the jawline and soften up a square face shape. Lovely sweeping slightly off center bangs slim and elongate while mirroring the soft layers below.
10. Viola Davis
Nothing is more attractive than natural hair! Viola Davis’s close crop works for her because of its rounded shape and her oval face shape. To lean into her texture, the ends of her hair are delicately twisted. This adds tons of style to an otherwise simple ‘do.
11. Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union added a tad bit of sharpness to her soft round face with an asymmetrical bob featuring one side longer than the other.
The side-swept fringe is perfect to make those gorgeous eyes truly pop while keeping the focus away from a broad forehead or a receding hairline.
12. Halsey
Who rocks short hair better than Halsey? The American singer’s frosted pastel rose pixie is living proof of how liberating short haircuts can truly be.
Opt for a handful of super short layers with a subtle undercut along the sides for a sassy finish. Baby bangs are a must too!
13. Jenji Kohan
The ‘Orange is the New Black’ writer is aging like fine wine and so have her god-gifted curls.
This time Jenji expressed her wild side by going for a messy pixie-bob with streaks of bright green and teal peaking in between those blonde locks and so can you!
14. Kelly Osbourne
It’s impossible to forget about Kelly Osbourne when enlisting the hottest female celebrities with short hairstyles.
The English heartthrob opened up her cute chubby face while making it appear effectively slimmer with a frosted lavender Mohawk and buzzed sides. Bold is beautiful, isn’t it?
15. Malin Akerman
Malin Akerman never really let go of her bouncy blonde locks. The television star has recently gone for a messy-is-the-new-sexy vibe with a disheveled mop top haircut.
Curly bangs elongating in a soft rounded shape towards the back with a handful of babylights are just perfect to make those gorgeous blue eyes pop.
16. Mel B
Mel B added a personalized touch to her angled pixie making it a one-of-a-kind hairstyle.
Instead of wearing her long bangs as usual on one side of the face, Mel swept them back much like a side-tousled pompadour lifting up her facial features. The undercut and brown-to-blonde ombre are a must-try too!
17. Rita Moreno
This Puerto Rican beauty has embraced her graying mane with utmost grace and confidence.
Rita shed off several years from her face by opting for a textured pixie haircut featuring smooth sides, wispy micro bangs, and a quirky top styled into messy spikes.
18. Rita Ora
Rita Ora’s slicked-back bob is yet another short hairstyle you might experiment with to steal the show wherever you go.
The trick lies in using an ample amount of gel or any other suitable hair styling product and combing back all the strands to maintain a sexy wet look all day long.
19. Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose’s classy mushroom cut makes her undoubtedly one of the sexiest female celebrities with short hairstyles alive.
Blunt thick eyebrow-grazing bangs extending towards the back with a neat undercut along the sides and minimal layers on top are all you need to ask for.
20. Taylor Russell
The ‘Lost in Space’ actress’ short French bob is to die for!
Taylor Russell went for a futuristic vibe by snipping her mane bluntly at ear level coupled with choppy layers and side bangs that she styled into gorgeous swirls on the forehead for a subtle retro feel.
21. Katy Perry
Katy Perry’s short platinum blonde bob is sleek and straight with an off center part. Platinum is one color that looks great with all skin tones.
22. Black Celebrity with Short Hair – Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita’s natural black hair has no frills added to it, making it a low maintenance short textured pixie great for keeping black hair healthy.
23. Julianne Hough
Interested in going short but still want to maintain texture and body? Go for a choppy layered short haircut with a heavy side part.
24. Celebrity with Short Curly Hair – Millie Bobby Brown
Millie is no longer seen as a young actress since she’s sported this mature ladylike yet edgy short hairdo. Try a balayage blend of light and dark blonde.

26. Lawrence’s Asymmetrical Bob Hairstyle
Who wouldn’t love a gorgeous short blonde hairstyle like Jennifer Lawrence’s? An easy off center part and wavy body is all it takes to create this beauty.
27. Aubrey Plaza’s Medium Layered Bob
Take the Aubrey Plaza approach to gradually work your way into a super short length celebrity hairstyle. Bobs are still short—make sure it hits above your shoulders, that’s all. And yes, adding waves makes all the difference — you want your bob to have texture, plus curling or waving your hair allows you to envision it even shorter.
28. Scarlett Johansson’s Gorgeous Undercut
Women were wearing undercuts long before Scar-Jo debuted hers, but she brought the style into the mainstream as a perfectly suitable choice for women. Her poofy pompadour and the shape of the undercut add feminine elements.
29. Anne Hathway’s Cute Short Pixie with Bangs
Love a rich brunette hair color? Add it to a short pixie with a heavy side bang. This hairstyle really flatters an oval face.
30. Emma Watson’s Magical Pixie

A pixie like this is perfect for women with strong facial shapes and features, such as a square jaw. Own that androgyny!
31. Lily Collins Choppy Tousled Hair
Lily Collins’ cut is halfway between a crop and a bob, hence it’s more of a lop. It’s gorgeous, though, and another ideal transitional cut. It’s short, but not too short, so you won’t feel overwhelmed or mourn the loss of all your hair.
32. Chin Length Bob with Side Parting
If you usually wear your hair straight and want to go short, copy Sarah Hyland’s short bob. Some caramel highlights over a dark base make this look sophisticated yet sexy.
33. Jennifer Lawrence with Highlights and Lowlights
Remember when Katniss cut her hair? Jennifer Lawrence’s features are full and lush, making them ideal for a short ‘do. However, she wisely softened the cut by keeping the bangs long and purposely uneven.
If you want to keep cool but look hot for summer, this is the short celebrity hairstyle for you.
34. Miley’s Punky Comb over and Undercut
Miley’s undercut and the platinum bleach job that came with it were divisive. People either loved it or hated it. We’re in the “loved it” camp—a pale blonde or silver undercut with dark roots is dramatic and on-trend.
35. Charlize Theron’s Short Blonde Hair
Is your face oval-shaped? Then you should definitely try Charlize’s short blonde hair. This pixie has plenty of body with soft waves on either side of the side part.
