Many celebrities know the power of a bold haircut and its ability to not only transform their look, but also change their entire career. And when it comes to bold, there is perhaps no haircut quite as dramatic as the pixie cut.
After all, with a pixie cut, there is nowhere to hide, no tumbling tresses to disappear behind, no glossy mane to use as armour. At the same time, however, it is a style that truly allows a person to be seen—and one that very few can pull off.
That being said, the following 15 celebrities certainly have had no problem taking their locks from long to short, a remarkable feat when one considers that even going from a bob to a pixie is quite a striking change.
From Zoë Kravitz to Kristen Stewart to Kate Hudson and more, scroll on to see the stars who completely transformed their look by going from long hair to a pixie cut.
