Behold the most dramatic A-List hair makeovers of all-time

The stars love changing up their look with some new hair but it’s only occasionally that a style comes along that really makes us sit up and take notice.

From Emma Watson’s pixie and Kim Kardashian's blonde lob to Miley Cyrus’ buzz cut, we’ve picked the hair makeovers that have really made us stand up and take notice over the years.

Browse the gallery below and see how many of these chops and colour swaps you remember.

May 2010

Having been in the biz for over 10 years, Emma Watson’s honey-coloured tresses were well-used to gracing red carpets


November 2010

So we couldn’t quite believe it when she took the plunge and chopped them into this dramatic pixie crop. 


February 2015

Like the rest of the Kardashians, Kim is blessed with thick, dark locks.


March 2015

But even she isn’t averse to experiencing with the bleach bottle. This blonde lob sent the internet into a frenzy when she debuted it at Paris Fashion Week. 


August 2011

Anne Hathaway’s wavy tresses were as much a part of her look as her trademark wide smile.


July 2012

But she seemed to have no qualms about giving them up in favour of this statement pixie crop. 


January 2014

A beachy golden mane perfectly epitomised laid-back Aussie Margot Robbie.


March 2014

But the actress has a dark side, as evidenced when she went brunette and embraced the hair tongs.   


October 2013

Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson used to play it quite safe when it came to her hair. 


January 2014

Until she unveiled this short and chic 'do, that is. 


May 2014

We thought Kristen Stewart seemed content with her mid-length curls.


November 2014

We were wrong. Fast-forward a few months and she debuted this edgy buzz cut. 


May 2013

Jennifer Lawrence’s highlighted bob was one of the actress’ classic looks.  


November 2013

But it was all change by the winter when she went lighter, shorter and choppier. 


August 2015

Looking every inch a Kardashian, Kylie Jenner showed off her shiny, sleek tresses and chunky fringe. 


September 2015

A few months later, the fringe had gone as had just about everything else, to be replaced by a pale green hue. 


February 2005

Natalie Portman’s lovely, luscious hair was the envy of millions. 


February 2005

So imagine our surprise when she shaved it all off for her role in V for Vendetta. Top marks for dedication to your art. 


June 2012

Remember when Miley Cyrus looked like this? Light blonde layers which complemented her Hollywood smile. 


September 2012

Soon after and a new Miley was born, working a fierce platinum blonde cut. 


March 2010

Rihanna's super-short pixie showed off her strong bone structure and emphasised her big eyes. 


September 2010

Bright red hair is a tricky look to pull off but Rihanna, ever the pro, smashes it.
