20 celebrities who have had epic hair transformations

Ariana Grande sported that classic bright red hair for years as part of her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's Victorious. Following the show's final season, the award-winning singer went back to her dark roots, rocking darker colors before transitioning to blonde.

This model always switches things up, from mini bobs to braids to Barbie ponytails. In October 2024, she sported long, wavy red hair as part of her Kim Possible Halloween costume.

Julia Fox is known for making bold, dramatic changes to her look. She's debuted shocking styles on red carpet events and during live television shows, including Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live. In 2024, she showed up at The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women In Entertainment Gala in a platinum blonde look that had a hue of silver.

This singer typically keeps things simple with her jet-black look. But who could forget Katy Perry's edgy moment with this blonde pixie cut during American Idol?

Even if Natalie Portman's shaved head was for a movie, the look still counts, and she absolutely slayed it.

Dua Lipa isn't afraid to make changes to stand out in the crowd. The "Dance The Night" singer has been spotted with jet-black waves, blonde locks, and red hair, too!

Rihanna's music hiatus almost made us forget that the singer has gone through quite a transformation over the years. From this brown/blonde updo to red curls and everything in between, Riri's switch-ups are one of the best.

Since stepping on the scene in the early 2000s, Lady Gaga has kept fans on their toes with her looks. In addition to the singer's audacious fashion looks, she's also had some epic hairdos. From blue to pink to yellow to blonde, Gaga can do it all — flawlessly.

Beyoncé usually keeps her hair the same, rocking that honey blonde she's known for. However, now and then, she does pull off a switcheroo. Her latest switch came during the "Cowboy Carter" era when she showed up to the Grammys rocking platinum blonde.

Like Kristen Davis, Emma Watson has had some drastic hair changes, including pixie cuts and shoulder-length bobs, and we're fans of them all.

Just like her career, Keke Palmer is always reinventing her style. Throughout the years, the iconic actress has worn her hair in afros, pixie cuts, and, most recently, waves in a deep auburn.

Zendaya truly is a fashion icon. Just as her chic So Kate heels have become a norm for her when she steps outside, fans have also come to expect a new hairdo. She's been spotted in shoulder-length bobs, wavy brown locks, and, most recently, a short finger wave hairdo at the Golden Globes.

Brad Pitt has tried a handful of hairstyles, including a mullet, long locks, and a buzzcut. And you know what? He's aced them all. (We never expected anything less, though.)

Dreadlocks have become Lenny Kravitz's signature hairstyle. However, in the 2000s, he chopped them off to sport a short afro. Today? The locks have returned. In 2018, Kravitz told GQ that he changed his hair because it was "freeing" to him. "I kept them off for a lot of years. And now I got 'em again,” he said. “It just kinda happened, and it felt like the right thing to let it grow. And it feels very correct right now.

From flowy black hair to the buzz cut and back again, Keanu Reeves is another celebrity who has undergone a wild hair transformation and looked flawless every step of the way.

This Twilight actress has done it all, from this blonde grunge cut to a shaved head.

For the most part, Miley Cyrus has kept things simple with her hairdos, normally rocking long, darker colors. However, there was a time when the singer had a blonde pixie cut and, years later, began wearing that blonde in an edgy, wavy style fit for a rock star.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss has always kept her look fresh by revamping her hairstyle over the years. She's gone from short hairdos to long wavy locks, but the one people remember most is "redhead Kandi," featured in Season 6 of the Bravo series.

NFL star Travis Kelce started with the flowy hairdo before switching over to a fade deep into his career. Lately, the Kansas City Chiefs star has been arriving at Arrowhead Stadium with what some are calling a "'90s" updo. Regardless of the style, we've been fond of them all. 

We'll never forget the moment Harry Styles chopped his hair off and trolled us all on social media with an Instagram post. Since that day, the singer has switched his hair up, keeping things flowy, short, and flowy again.
