30 Best Celebrity Short Haircuts Of All Time

Scroll through this list of celebrities with short hair to get inspo for your next hair appointment.

It's no surprise that short haircuts have been taking over the beauty world this year more than ever before. A short haircut often packs more punch per inch than any long style in sight; and, if anything, the lack of inches just makes for way more personality, style, and panache. Unlike the decision to get major bangs, going for a short cut needs no debate. However, it's always best to scout your options before permanently chopping those locks, and luckily there are plenty of celebrities with short hair to provide proper inspiration.

Some famous short haircuts, present and past, show why short hairstyles will always hit the mark, no matter your style, texture, or age. The options are unlimited, with layers, bangs, and length at your discretion. These short haircuts overflow with effortless style and timeless appeal, which makes the decision to lose that length easy as pie. Check out these short hairstyles to find the inspiration you need for your next chop.

Natalie Portman's Super Pixie

Portman's stylist kept the top section of Portman's post-buzz cut hairstyle longer in order to give versatility. Consider this your starter super pixie.

Keira Knightley's Angled Bob

This chic style makes us never want anything less than a razor-sharp cut ever again. It's slightly stacked in the back, making the angles even more pronounced. She rocked this haircut with a middle and side part—both equally stunning.

Taylor Swift's Short Bob With Bangs

Taylor Swift's short bob will never go out of style. Soft and slightly wavy, this bob with windswept bangs has a retro and graceful look. Long layers add texture and dimension.

From the vibrant red locks to the smooth retro curls, this hairstyle has been one of our favorite lobs yet. Side-swept bangs and minimal layering make this cut super low maintenance and universally flattering.

Instead of going with a softer lob style, Paltrow went angled and sleek with this buttery blonde haircut. A center part reinforces modern symmetry.

Karlie Kloss' Swept Bob
