21 best celebrity pixie haircuts that will convince you to go short

Another celebrity pixie cut that has gone down in history books was Pamela Anderson's head-hugging chop, circa October 2013. It totally redefined her bombshell image, proving short hair can be sultry, modern, and empowering!

Jordan Jay Brumant was the genius hairstylist behind Jourdan Dunn's 2024 pixie and shared details about the look on Instagram. "Jourdan decided to embark on a journey of self-reinvention through the transformative power of a pixie cut," he wrote. "The symbolism of shedding old energy and embracing new beginnings resonates deeply, marking a bold step into uncharted territory."

Going on to detail the process, telling followers, "We drew inspiration from iconic figures such as Rihanna, Halle Berry, Zoë Kravitz, and Nia Long to pay homage to those who have fearlessly paved the way in redefining beauty standards."

Honestly, go read the whole caption because this is what pixies are all about *change*.

This peroxide blonde-meets-white-toned pixie haircut modelled by Rihanna is one to note. Is there any hairstyle the singer cannot pull off? Spoiler: The answer is no.

Where do we start with this look from Ashley Graham? First up, have we ever seen the model with hair quite this blonde? We think not. It's practically gold, people.

And then there's the pixie cut, which takes signature 1920s flapper waves to the next level; I mean, she's basically a Roman Goddess statue with this look.

2023's spooky szn provided many hair transformations, including Megan Thee Stallion's dramatic pixie cut – that, admittedly, is verging on mullet territory!

Meg decided to dress up as Death the Kid from the anime series, Soul Eater. And going all out, she wore a cropped black wig to mimic that of the characters.

Slay.

In 2024, Twilight alum (read: legend), Kristen Stewart, attended a prestigious Chanel-branded dinner to celebrate the launch of the Sofia Coppola Archive: 1999-2023. Doing so in style, the actor debuted a fresh pixie haircut, chopping a few inches off of her previous mullet style. The shaggy wet look created by celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel is to die for.

Cue all the heart-eye emojis.

Keke Palmer shared a super-cropped hairstyle on IG a few years back, and we haven't stopped thinking about it since. The bob-meets-pixie cut style is so short that it's giving major Kris Jenner vibes. Stun.

Momager, this actor is coming for your gig...

Sharing this iconic picture on Twitter with a caption that reads "patience takes practice", Halle Berry caused some dramz.

And no, not because of her super cute cat but for her silver-top, shaven sides pixie haircut!

Everything about it screams X-Men's Storm, so, could we be getting a new movie? I guess only time will tell...

Although Julia Garner first debuted a pixie back when she accepted her Best Supporting Actress award at the 2023 Golden Globes, our favourite version of her short 'do is this bouffant hairstyle. Is it just us or is this serving 2008 Victoria Beckham vibes? We're so here for a revival.

A round of applause for her hairstylist, Bobby Eliot, who transformed her cropped hairstyle into a Linda Evangelista-esque masterpiece. Julia's pixie cut is one to note for its reminiscent retro feel. This style was an era-defining 90s moment and we're so here for its comeback courtesy of this award-winning actor.

Verging on a buzz cut, Lupita Nyong'o revealed she'd picked up the scissors and "chopped off my sisterlocks!" in a heartfelt (yet funny) Instagram reel dedicated to the lost locks.

Although it looks like she attempted a DIY job, rest assured, as we spotted legendary hairstylist, Vernon François, peeping in the background of the vid. So, we assume he took matters into his own hands to create this chic pixie cut.

Is there a hairstyle Lupita can't pull off? We think not in this universe.

In the trailer for Wes Anderson’s film Asteroid City, Scarlett Johansson, who plays a Hollywood actor named Midge Campbell, gave all the 1950s vibes.

Her dark, pixie hair transformation was reminiscent of the nostalgic era and even reminds us of Elizabeth Taylor's iconic cropped curls.

In 2023, Emily Ratajkowski appeared as a Pop Magazine cover star, and to grace the cover in style, she switched out her chest-length locks for an ear-grazing crop. Très chic, oui?

In 2022, Destiny's Child legend, Kelly Rowland, attended the 5th Annual WACO Wearable Art Gala in LA with a dark 50s-esque pixie cut that couldn't be more different from her XXL mermaid lengths.

Is anyone else getting major Marilyn Monroe vibes?

Now, if you're after a transformation, look no further than our fave, Emma Watson.

Her '60s mod look is giving ✨grunge✨ and we're so here for it.

In terms of Charithra's cut (which we now know to be a wig *sigh*), Patrick Wilson – the genius hairstylist behind this look – has opted for a layered style with a piecey fringe perfectly framing her face. And of course, the wet, fresh-out-the-shower look cannot go amiss.

Cue all the heart-eye emojis, pls.

She's an icon, she's a legend, she's Jojo with the bow bow (AKA, Miss JoJo Siwa). The singer-meets-dancer took the internet by storm when she cut her infamous ponytail off and replaced her trademark hairstyle with a pixie cut.

She even took to the Industry Dance Awards to debut a pink-toned look that she created herself. Impressive, right?

Bella Hadid took us way back to the 60s with a very mod-style haircut that she debuted on the 'Gram.

The lewk, came to us as a magazine cover shoot (she is a model, after all) and was created by the one and only Evanie Frausto.

It's not unusual for the Kardashian-Jenner clan to be compared to one another on social media and although Kris is often the one taking inspo from her daughters (hey, no shame here), this time it's Kourtney.

For her collaborative shoot with fashion retailer Boohoo, the reality star transformed into her mum by rocking her iconic cropped pixie cut.

Kourt, you're doing looking amazing, sweetie.
