2021 has proven to be the year of the dramatic chop and celebs have been making the cut left and right. Social media has been lit up with a collection of new hairstyle inspiration, with each post marking a new style to be envious of. While it’s only natural to want to show off the “new year, new you,” this year more than ever celebs have been eager to shake off the old ways of 2020 and create a fresh start. There are too many good haircuts to choose from, so we rounded up five of our favorite chops that start out the year on a high note. Be prepared to update your Pinterest board!
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is fond of frequently changing up her hair, and this year she has opted for a blunt cut to offset the mermaid waves she is frequently seen rocking. Hudgens took to Instagram on January 22 to show off her newly shorn locks with a sultry mirror selfie complete with a bold red lip. She’s channeling Rizzo from Grease and the 2016 casting couldn’t have been more perfect.
Ana De Armas
Fresh off of a breakup, Ana De Armas has debuted an equally fresh cut, showing off her new bangs and short bob in a YouTube livestream. The actress is known for wearing her brown hair just below her shoulder, so the blunt cut is a dramatic change that looks great with her bright features.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra also hopped on the haircut train this year, opting out of a full-length cut and instead showing off a new set of bangs for the promotion of her new book “Unfinished.” The raven haired beauty rocked the fresh curtain bangs in an Instagram boomerang she posted on February 10, looking more chic than ever before.
Demi Lovato
With perhaps the most dramatic change of all, Demi Lovato, who frequently cycles through bold wigs, made the major chop to a short pixie cut at the beginning of this year. Not stopping there, the powerhouse singer also dyed her strands a hot pink, which she showed off to her Instagram account on January 20. If ever there was a time to experiment with bold styles, it’s in quarantine, but Lovato rocks it effortlessly as always.
J Lo
J Lo is a known beauty chameleon, and the multi-talented star recently graced the cover of Allure, showing off a cropped pixie cut that looks drastically different from her traditional caramel waves. Whether it’s a wig or if she went for the real deal, the cut looks sharp and trendy against her flawless complexion.
