32 cool super short haircuts by celebrities

If you're considering a short haircut, especially if you plan to cut a few inches off your hair, it helps to go in knowing exactly what your vision is. That's where celebrities come in. From Audrey Hepburn's classic, boyish pixie hair to Janelle Monae and Cara Delevingne's contemporary short hair, some of our iconic actors, singers, and celebrities have rocked super short hair.

While super short hair may sound style-limiting, there is actually a lot of variety and potential. Let's get started with 32 celebrity ultra-short hair styles to show your stylist.

Charlize Theron has had several versions of this short blonde pixie hair throughout her long career (sometimes slicked back, sometimes full of volume). I love this version: we can see her dark roots and she has a little extra definition.

Ginnifer Goodwin often had a pixie cut, but this contemporary style is a cool variation: blonde on top, roots showing, sides short and dark, cut a bit choppy. If you don't want to go two-tone, try this cut first.

Doja Cat has given us a wealth of short hair inspiration. I love this version, with its slicked-back bangs and spiky micro bangs. It's a little edgy (and probably not for everyone), but if you're looking for a cool twist on a short cut, this is a great option.

Katy Perry loves to change up her look, and when she went for an all-blonde pixie cut, I felt it fit her vivacious personality very well. It matched her eyebrows and made the whole look more cohesive.

Kate Hudson is usually known for her long blonde hair, so it was a cool surprise when she got a much shorter cut (this is from 2018). It's a little longer on this list, so it's just a little easier to maintain.

Modern versions of short cuts have some surprising features. Pixie Geldof, for example, has a cool color, a center part, interesting layers (this one has long bangs and a bit of length in the back), and a bit of a messy styling.

Zoƫ Kravitz has short cuts of varying lengths, from shaved heads to long pixies (a hybrid of pixie and bob). I like this version with soft curls. This cut will grow well as long as the front piece is maintained.

The Girl Meets World actor shows off a cool cut. If you like your hair slicked back and don't mind using product, a longer piece like this (with or without length in the back) will help make it feel like there are still significant layers.

This long pixie haircut has considerably longer top and bangs than the other hairstyles on this list. This cut looks wavy and romantic on Elsa Pataky (especially with the deep side part and bangs), but it also works well on straight hair or those with wavy hair.

For the most exciting short hair you can think of, try this colorful bowl hairstyle by Tachi Gabriel (in "The 100 and You"). If you want to experiment with color, try temporary hair dyes first, as dyeing your natural hair may require some upkeep.

We love this layered wave by Kate Mara; it's hard to pull off a short hairstyle with more than a 2B wave, so get the right shape with a cut that optimizes curl and the right products, such as gel or pomade for volume! .

There were several celebrities with iconic pixies in the 90s, and Winona Ryder was one of the best. Her cut was a modern take on Audrey Hepburn, short and slightly spiky, but still feminine. The micro bangs might be too tight for some, but it's still a classic hairstyle.

Anne Hathaway has long hair, but I liked her pixie cut (debuted around the same time she appeared in Les Miserables and had her hair cut on camera). She has a lot of volume and can do well with an angled choppy cut that accentuates the contours of her face.

Janelle Monet gives her fans great hair inspiration, and this haircut, which is slightly longer than the buzz cut, is no exception. We love how her stylist parted the curls in front of her face.

Ruby Rose's short but layered pixie is an important part of their look. Their hair looks even thicker as they add highlights for extra depth on top of the volume she already has. The result is outstanding volume on top, while the sides are shaved short.

This short cut by Audrey Taut is romance itself. The many layers make for a complicated cut that may not work for everyone. But this tousled and teased look is also very chic.

We've never worried about Zendaya's ability to pull off a bold haircut (whether it be her own tresses, extensions, or a wig). This platinum-long pixie makes the star look both youthful and bold. The long bangs and symmetrical shape give the classic a modern twist.

This hairstyle by Kristen Stewart is just a bit longer than the buzz cut, lengthening it toward the bangs but shortening it elsewhere. That, plus the matted ends, make this cut very detailed and intricate.

This coiled curl by Viola Davis was a head-turning moment for the actor after she decided to wear her natural hair instead of a wig on the red carpet; for someone with 4B or 4C hair, this simple short cut is a stunning and super flattering shape.

Miley Cyrus has had countless short cuts in her career, but this one is my favorite. It doesn't have the intense volume of her other cuts, but the shaved sides and long middle make it almost Mohawk-like.

It's no surprise that this iconic cut made the list. When Natalie Portman shaved her head (in front of the camera) as the lead in V for Vendetta, she immediately drew attention. When Natalie Portman shaved her head (for the camera) in her lead role in V for Vendetta, she immediately got noticed.

This asymmetrical cut suits Amandla Stenberg well. She often wears complex hairstyles on the red carpet, but a simple haircut is just as fabulous. The clean auburn color is a nice accent to highlight her curls, but it would work equally well without them.

Coco Rocha has always had an innovative and quirky style (both on and off the runway, since she is literally a supermodel). This pixie short has longer tresses in the back and is essentially a mini-mullet.

Valorie Currie ("The Boys," "Veronica Mars") sometimes has beautiful pixie hair and did so when she played Charlotte in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2." Although this film is over a decade old, the cut, especially when coupled with the red hair, retains a timeless elegance.

Halle Berry was a very popular actress in the 90's (and long beyond that decade.) Short-hair lovers can look to her for inspiration, but I love the short, soft version of her signature cut, with side-swept bangs and defined curls.

Cynthia Erivo is proud to call herself "black, bald-headed, pierced, and queer," and her red carpet look is a great representation of that. Dyed blonde and matched with her jewelry, this short short cut is an incredible 'do that makes a stunning short cut.

This was right around the time Sienna Miller played Edie Sedgwick in The Factory Girl, and this pull-back version of the model's signature 60s look was instantly iconic. It has long layers on the crown and top of the head, and the nape of the neck is kept short, but is still remarkably chic.

Scarlett Johansson really likes this short shaved hairstyle. It looks great from the front, but from the side you can clearly see her shaved head. Not for the faint of heart, this cut is cool.

No list of celebrity short hair would be complete without Audrey Hepburn. Her hair is said to have been quite fine, so short hair was partially a choice of practicality. But once she went short (even as a plot device in "Roman Holiday"), she became inseparable from the cut.

Lupita Nyongo has sported many intricate and ornate updos on the red carpet. But this simple hair with a deep side part (worn at a photocall for "The Quiet Place: Day One") is equally stunning. Nyongo has long embraced her short hair, saying, "I always had long hair when I was an adolescent and I was relaxed, and when I was 19, I got really sick of always going to the hairdresser, so one day I decided to cut my hair, and it was a really good idea.

This is one of Cara Delevingne's signature hairstyles (and one she returns to regularly). I like this super short version of the white blonde, partly because the slightly longer top gives it a Mohawk look. Effortless, cool, and just a little soft.

Rihanna wore this short cut to the Fenty launch party in June 2024. Walking the red carpet with her natural curls was an absolute treat and felt like a callback to when she previously had her hair shortened. It's the perfect style and length for the singer, actor, and entrepreneur.
