Chop ‘n’ change: celebrity hair makeovers
Following the finale of , actress Sophie Turner stepped out with a look that is less Sansa Stark, and a whole lot more Hannah Montana. Ditching her low maintenance hair for an entirely new style, only time will tell if her new ‘do is one that is here to stay.
Celebrity hair stylist Christian Wood, who has been sharing each of the star’s looks as she promotes her new movie , took to Instagram to debut her fresh trim. Looking almost unrecognisable, Turner can be seen sporting a set of bangs.
Beyoncé Knowles is undeniably the ultimate chameleon. However, while she’s been known to dabble in a vast array of hair styles, she’s maintained her signature blonde hue for quite some time.
As such, her recent debut of a considerably darker shade came as quite the surprise. The new look saw the singer steal the spotlight while sitting front row at a basketball game between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors.
Miley Cyrus is a master of hair transformations, changing her locks on a fairly regular basis. The singer has had a long darker blonder look for a while now so it was definitely about time for a change. And the singer’s new look, which she revealed on Twitter, is a throwback banger of a ‘do referencing her most famous character, Hannah Montana.
Cyrus took to Twitter to show off her newly-blonde tresses which came with a side of bangs à la Hannah Montana in the early ’00s. The actress and singer captioned the post: "Hannah is punk now!"
Bella Hadid has been rocking a glossy brunette shade for quite some time now, but the model clearly felt it was time for an update in line with the change in season and has debuted a cool new tress hue.
Hadid showed off her new lighter "dirty blonde" shade on Instagram, captioning the post: "Back to my roots!"
Channing Tatum has had the same hairstyle for as long as we can possibly remember, so it’s fair to say it came as quite a shock when he revealed a far shorter and lighter ‘do.
The Hollywood heartthrob and star took to Instagram Stories to show off his new bleach-blonde buzz cut, one many are comparing to rapper Eminem’s. Tatum captioned the image "Bad idea? Haha", before following it up with another that read, "Well bad ideas are sort of my thing. So…"
The last time Julia Roberts made a public appearance, she was closing the 2019 Academy Awards. While her hair looked both blonder and shorter than we’d seen it in quite a long time, it seems the actress was ready for another change.
Roberts’s longtime hairstylist Serge Normant took to Instagram to show off the actress’s latest chop in a warmer, highlighted hue. Wispy and perfectly tousled, it’s the ideal ‘do for the start of a new season.
Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin has had her sandy brown locks at quite a long length for quite some time. That is, until now.
Proving this particular cut is set to continue its reign, the Hungarian beauty took to Instagram to reveal that she had trusted celebrity hairstylist Owen Gould with her mane, allowing him to chop those tresses to a lob-like length.
Charlize Theron with her signature blonde ‘do at the 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Weeks later, Theron showed up at the 2019 Oscars with a newly chopped and richly dark brown-dyed hairstyle.

This week we changed @charlizeafrica color and this morning we chopped off her hair.”

Debuting the look in London on the 2019 BAFTA Awards red carpet, the Australian actress looked almost unrecognisable, causing us all to do a double take before declaring it our favourite makeover of the year–thus far.
Kendall Jenner is the latest model to try a new look. Taking to Instagram to debut a fresh cut, the star showed off long, wispy bangs in a series of videos that proved there is no ‘do she can’t own.
However, this isn’t the first time the model has rocked a fringe, and given that her last one was in fact faux, we can’t help but think this one may be too, so watch this space.
Australian actress Katherine Langford has take to Instagram to share her new dye job and it’s fair to say that she is definitely pulling off the bright red hue. Perth-based salon Circles of Hair can be credited with transforming the former brunette beauty’s luscious locks.
“She (red)y,” Langford captioned the selfie above. Circles of Hair has also shared a number of images of the actress’s new ‘do, while also teasing the possibility of a process video.
Priyanka Chopra is entering 2019 as newlywed, and also a blonde. Well, a semi-blonde. The actress debuted her new ombré look on Instagram in mid-January, while simultaneously announcing that she is working on a new Youtube project.
The post-honeymoon hairdo features a heavy set of golden-blonde highlights that sit perfectly on the ends of her layered cut. Chopra’s roots remain dark, serving only to add to the contrast the new colour creates.
Hailey Bieber stepped out in Los Angeles with a fresh trim in a bright pink hue. The model was seen sporting blush-toned locks in the form of a long bob, reminiscent of the same style she wore on the red carpet at the Met Gala in May, 2018.

Harper Beckham has taken another leaf out of her mother’s book and gotten her second Posh Spice-inspired hair cut. This time, the 7-year-old had her hair trimmed by famed celebrity hair stylist Luke Hersheson, which came complete with an adorable front fringe.

Sienna Miller used an event red carpet in November 2018 to show off a new look, shocking us all when she ditched her iconic blonde, beachy locks for a subtly darker hue—but we have to say, we’re all for it.
The actress debuted a new honeycomb/butterscotch shade, one that her hairstylist Rebekah Forecast took to Instagram to share. While the roots are almost brunette, the ends are lighter is sections where the sun would naturally hit it.

The beauty mogul showed off a blunt bob in a cool silver-blonde tone, just days after she took to the social media to share that she was “almost ready for my dark hair”.
