These are the best celebrity hair transformations of 2025

Pamela Anderson is the queen of reinvention; long gone are the days of her signature, bouncy blowouts. Instead, she’s embraced a look that’s a little more understated, but every bit as gorgeous. GH’s favourite? Her Grace Kelly-inspired bob, styled with full, volumised roots and gathered into soft, starlet curls at the ends. Truly timeless.

Helen Mirren took us by surprise when she debuted an upgraded bob at Wimbledon — a style hair expert and trend forecaster Tom Smith aptly dubbed the ‘Topspin Bob’. Thanks to its clever shaping, the cut instantly gave her the appearance of thicker locks. Sitting above the chin, the sharp style leaves plenty of room for bounce and movement, while the choppy curtain bangs add a bit of edge. Ace!

In search of the perfect bob? Look no further than Julianne Moore’s laser-cut bob. Sharp, precise and sleek — you simply can’t go wrong. The cut grazes the collarbone, with glossy, straightened locks that subtly curl inwards at the ends to frame the face beautifully. Very chic!

Glenn Close swapped her usual windswept waves for something more relaxed and cool. She wore her locks loose, creating a long fringe that skimmed her lashes, while soft layers curved around her head to create a glamorous 60s-inspired shape. A texturised finish and plenty of volume gave the cut a modern, updated twist.

Ooh la la! Priyanka Chopra’s French-girl fringe may have made just one fleeting appearance, so we think it was a clip-in, but it definitely left an impression. The wispy fringe was the perfect match for her sleek ballet bun – and of course, her swishy, fringed gown. Très chic!

Emma Stone takes the crown for the most dramatic hair transformation of the year, sending the beauty world into a frenzy as she ditched her long, shiny locks for a sleek pixie crop. It looked incredible, proving she can pull off just about any style.

Lily Allen is no stranger to a hair transformation — from neon pink to vivid red, she’s pulled off practically every colour imaginable. This year, she returned to classic black in a dramatic switch-up that completely transformed her look (and she pulled it off effortlessly, too!)

If there’s one colour that screams 2025 — it’s copper. From Kendall Jenner to Nicole Kidman, it seemed as though every celebrity was embracing the fiery shade this year. One of the standout transformations? Emma Roberts, who traded her creamy blonde locks for a rich copper hue that lit and warmed up her features in an instant.

While Emma opted for a rich, fiery red, Nicole Kidman gave the copper trend her own twist with a softer, peachier hue — a shade that nods to her natural strawberry-blonde locks. The colour took centre stage as she styled her hair into sleek, glossy tresses.

When it seemed like everyone was going shorter, Kris Jenner went against the grain and began growing out her signature pixie. Most recently, Kris debuted a fresh, sleek bob — pin-straight and parted to the side for an asymmetric, modern finish.

The Princess of Wales caused a stir in the beauty world when she was spotted with lighter locks in the car during a summer break in Scotland. The GH beauty team sat in anticipation for her next public appearance — and she didn’t disappoint, debuting a warm, caramel shade, her locks styled in soft, cascading waves.

Kristin Scott Thomas served up some major hair inspiration this year, showcasing one of the most stylish ways to embrace grey roots. She opted for the ‘halo method’, blending her natural dark hair with striking white pieces at the front. Instantly, her face looks lifted and brighter — proof that going grey doesn’t have to mean looking older.

For anyone who wants to switch up their short hair, take notes from Sharon Stone, who let her pixie crop grow out into a relaxed bob. She allowed her locks to fall freely, with little styling, creating an effortlessly cool look.
