Celebrities are often trendsetters in fashion and style in general. Some of them are an inspiration for hairstyles of many people worldwide, even decades after they died. More than a trend, a haircut can become a symbol of a decade or also make a statement that goes much further than beauty.
Some celebrities also saw their careers taken to a whole new level after changing their hair. For example, it is impossible to imagine Marilyn Monroe as a brunette or Mia Farrow with long hair. Here are the most iconic hairstyles celebrities had in history, and most of them are still influencing people when they go to have their hair cut.
10 Marilyn Monroe
It is almost impossible to think about someone who has a more influential image than Marilyn Monroe. Even over 50 years after her death, she is still inspiring people worldwide, including her hairstyle. She is the perfect definition of bombshell during the '50s and '60s. Unsurprisingly, her platinum hair played a big part in that image.
When Madonna became famous, she was clearly inspired by the diva's looks, but she was not the only one. A-list names such as Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani also appeared using similar hair.
9 Diana Ross
Diana Ross once said that "It takes a long time to get to be a diva." She was right, and she was also one of the few people who reached the highest level of a diva. It is possible to make a whole list with her amazing hairstyles, but probably this one is the most powerful of them all.
She was more than just a beauty, also being a symbol for many. Of course, Diana Ross inspired and empowered many Black women around the world when they saw her being so magnificent.
8 James Dean
Although people often think about female names when it comes to hairstyles, male celebrities also had their groundbreaking moment when it comes to hair. Although much has changed in the world, James Dean's hairstyle is still a trend for males on hairstylist saloons.
There are countless tutorials online where people can learn to have this hair cut, which somehow stills looks cool after 50 years.
7 Farrah Fawcett
Hair Stylist salons were never the same after Farrah Fawcett appeared on television with thick tresses on Charlie's Angels during the '70s.
The actress's image was always connected to her hair and the flawless smile, and people are still trying to get updated versions of her haircut today. It seems this is a haircut that will be around forever.
6 Mia Farrow
Mia Farrow caused a sensation when she appeared in the '60s with her pixie hair. It was ultimately the opposite of the haircut she had on Peyton Place when she had long hair that went until her waist. Everyone would remember the actress for this haircut, and they would copy it all over the world.
Another person who would also be recognized by her pixie hair during the '60s was the supermodel Twiggy.
5 Tina Turner
Nothing defines the '80s better than the world extravagant. Back then, fashion was supposed to be fun and bright, and the result was lots of embroidered clothes and, of course, hairs full of volume. Tina Turner is probably the celebrity who had the most remarkable hairstyle during the '80s.
Her hair was a combination of texture and volume that people loved and also is how most fans remember her.
4 Princess Diana
In the '90s, Princess Diana was a style icon. She still is even 23 years after her death. Her short hair was a frequent demand for beauty salons all over the world as many women wanted "Diana's hair." The haircut came from the stylist Sam McKnight, who did her hair for a Vogue magazine cover.
The hairstylist said that during the early '90s, people were looking for something different from the previous decade, where everything had lots of volume and extravagancy.
3 Jennifer Aniston
Every time Jennifer Aniston appeared on Friends with a new hairstyle, stylists all over the country had to learn how to copy it. The haircut was known as "The Rachel" and was a sensation during the '90s and early 2000s.
However, Aniston is not a fan when she looks back at her pictures. "'The Rachel' was high maintenance. I'd curse Chris every time I had to blowdry. It took three brushes. It was like doing surgery!"
2 Rihanna
Rihanna is a true chameleon, and it is impossible to remember all of her hairstyles, but most of them are remarkable. When the singer appeared with red hair, it stirred in the beauty industry and made headlines all over the world. However, why stick with an iconic hai if you can have plenty of them?
The singer often changes her hairstyle, and there are several versions of her style that people can try to copy.
1 Kate Middleton
It took nearly fifteen until another member of the British royal family became a fashion icon, but that moment came when Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011. People dream about having her ever-glossy hairstyles, and even when she makes the smallest change, people will notice and, of course, try to emulate it.
Prince Harry also married a fashion icon, and Meghan Markle makes a stir every time she appears at events.
