Ahead, we're rounding up 20 of the best celeb-inspired classic haircuts of all time. Happy scrolling.
Casual, Face-Framing Layers
Jennifer Aniston has said that her hair is naturally wavy; meaning, her famous layered, shaggy "Rachel" style was shaped with flat irons and a lot of blowdrying. Now, she's known for sporting casually tousled layers that beautifully frame her face.
Blunt Lob
ICYMI: The lob is a universally flattering haircut no matter your hair texture. For those with thinner tresses, consider opting for blunt ends which will make your mane appear thicker. Styling this cut stick-straight like Laura Harrier is chic and fierce.
Long, Voluminous Waves
Jennifer Lopez has perfected her look with big, cascading voluminous waves. It's the ultimate bombshell style with a soft touch. To enhance your natural texture and volume, apply L'Oréal Paris's Advanced Hairstyle Curve It Elastic Curl Mousse ($12) to damp hair before styling.
Choppy Pixie
Looking for a no-fuss cut? A pixie, like Zoë Kravitz's choppy 'do, is simple yet statement-making. To style, work a small amount of Oribe Rough Luxury Soft Molding Paste ($39) into strands for a visually — and literally — effortless look.
Long and Straight With Middle Part
Priyanka Chopra's ultra-smooth style parted down the middle is sleek to the max. To replicate her hair-commercial-worthy tresses, style with a T3 Lucea 1" ($136) flat iron. Then, spritz on some shine spray for that high-gloss finish.
Long, Bouncy Layers
Full-bodied '90s hair is back, but for Kate Middleton, it never left. Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been sticking to face-framing layers styled à la bouncy blowout for years — and we still can't get enough.
Natural Lob With Bangs
When it comes to her hair, Tracee Ellis Ross knows what's up. The Pattern Beauty founder is a proponent of embracing your natural hair texture — and for good reason. Her natural curly lob with strategic layers is drop-dead gorgeous.
Long and Tousled
These soft, beachy waves on California girl Gigi Hadid are the definition of model-off-duty hair. To give your straight strands an undone finish, spritz and scrunch them with Bumble & bumble Surf Spray ($32).
Blunt Bangs
Naomi Campbell's signature long, straight tresses are instantly updated with a set of blunt bangs that bring out her eyes. Look closely and you'll see two face-framing tendrils that hit at her jawline. It's probably the most understated jellyfish detail on record.
Chin-Length Bob
Michelle William's chin-length bob frames her round face perfectly. After blow-drying with a large round brush, roll the ends slightly under, then flat iron one-inch portions. To keep the look sleek, spritz Dry Bar's Glass Miracle Smoothing Sealant ($34) on damp hair. It protects against heat damage and prevents frizz.
Long, Tousled Layers
Awkwafina's long, tousled layers are the epitome of understated elegance. To replicate her style, simply spritz a texturizing spray like R+Co's Trophy Shine + Texture Spray ($36) and let hair air dry. Then, ruffle your hair with your fingers for a piece-y, undone finish.
Natural Pixie
This natural pixie on Jodie Turner-Smith is a timeless classic. The trick? Work in a small amount of Vernon François Styling Cream ($10) to keep curls moisturized and defined.
Voluminous Bob
Kerry Washington's voluminous bob with a swooping side part frames her face to perfection while flattering her features. Not to mention, this graduated look is the ideal volume booster.
Shag With Curtain Bangs
Jenny Ortega's wavy shag with curtain bangs is a cut that looks effortlessly cool no matter how you style it. Still, we're partial to her tousled waves that lend movement and body to her '70s-inspired look.
Long Layers With Wispy Bangs
Constance Wu's straight hair with wispy bangs is sexy meets sophisticated. Ask your stylist to incorporate long layers to this cut for an extra boost of volume and body.
Natural Curly Crop
Embracing your natural texture is undeniably in vogue. Here, Nathalie Emmanuel opts for a short crop to show off her gorgeous curls. To minimize frizz and maximize definition, don't forget to apply a curl cream.
Long, Loose Waves
Although we can always get behind a trending cut, long, loose waves will never go out of fashion. Margot Robbie's undulating mane incorporates long layers to add dimension and movement. And her long length makes this cut incredibly versatile, too.
Wavy, Medium-Length Layers
The quickest way to update your curly medium-length hair without a cut? Change up your part. Ciara's center part allows her voluminous waves to frame and soften her diamond-shaped face. Meanwhile, her caramel highlights create dimension.
Long Mermaid Waves
Jessica Chastain is a vision with her lengthy siren-esque mermaid waves. This cut works best on those with medium to thick hair density so as not to make thin strands too stringy — just FYI.
Wavy Shoulder-Length
Shoulder-length hair hits that perfect sweet spot of being not too short but not too long either. There are myriad ways to style this cut, but we love Chrissy Teigen's effortless waves with a bombshell side part.
