Hair color and haircut have a big effect on the overall look and can change the overall type - or would you have recognized Reese Witherspoon in the current picture on the left? It was created during a video call in January 2021 when Reese presented a recipe.
Reese Witherspoon a year ago (right) and with a current look.
Exactly a year ago, at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February 2020, she was still wearing her golden blonde wavy bob. Maybe (as with so many) it is a consequence of the closed hairdressing salons, maybe she just wanted a change of type: the radiant blonde bob became shoulder-length hair in a very dark cinnamon blonde. Which look do you like better?
Other celebrities also try out new looks here and there, dye their hair from light to dark (or vice versa), or dare a completely new haircut. Let yourself be inspired by the most beautiful before and after hairstyles of these stars...
Leighton Meester wears blonde
Actress Leighton Meester has a completely new look. The "Gossip Girl" actress has parted with her long, dark blonde mane.
Now she's wearing a platinum blonde long bob. The hair dyeing procedure, which is certainly time-consuming, was worth it, we really like the 31-year-old's new look.
Reese Witherspoon with brown hair
Reese Witherspoon is known for her radiant smile and always perfectly coiffed blonde hair. The greater the surprise to see the actress with chocolate-brown mane!
The color change doesn't do Witherspoon a favor: The rich brown makes the American look older and the facial contours look unevenly harder. Blonde preferred!
Mila Kunis with pony
Wow, Mila Kunis wears bangs! The long bob seems to be the actress's favorite hairstyle, that's for sure. And even if the basic look remains the same, there are many ways to wear the classic hairstyle.
At the Billboard Music Awards 2018, Mila showed herself with a slightly wavy version with short fringed bangs. Very cool!
Before "New Girl" star Zooey Deschanel found her signature hairstyle, the actress experimented with color and cut, for example, a blonde bob.
Although the blonde Deschanel look also stands out, the typical pony hairstyle makes her a type with a recognition value.
Jennifer Lawrence with Bob
We love Jennifer Lawrence's casual bob! With the deep parting and the loose wave, Jennifer Lawrence looks just like the sophisticated Oscar winner and Dior testimonial. But there is another way!
Jennifer's sexy, beach-bleached mane screams a Cali girl and Hollywood babe.
Mia Wasikowska with long hair
Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Crimson Peak) has already done everything with her hairstyle, from the raspy pixie cut to pony bob and long hair.
While the long hair makes her face look soft and fresh, the short haircut makes Mia Wasikowska a face that makes you turn around on the street!
Charlize Theron with Pixie Cut
Soft, blonde waves: that's how you know Oscar winner Charlize Theron. For her role in Mad Max: Fury Road, the actress had her cut to a millimeter long.
The distinctive pixie cut turns an already beautiful woman into a real eye-catcher: The short hairstyle directs the gaze to the face and makes Charlize Theron look even more radiant.
Scarlett Johansson with short hair
From vintage glamor to modern avant-garde: Scarlett Johansson says goodbye to her long mane and goes all out.
Scarlett Johansson sacrificed her blonde locks in favor of a very trendy sidecut with raspy short sides and longer hair on the top of the head.
Kristen Stewart with short hair
An enviable auburn mane was Kristen Stewart's trademark in the film adaptation of the teenage saga Twilight.
As a Chanel testimonial, the actress prefers a short haircut that gives her face contour and character.
Jessica Chastain with pony
Before and after hairstyles: Jessica Chastain stands out with her gorgeous red hair among the many blond Hollywood stars. With the low side parting and a hairstyle in the style of Old Hollywood, the multi-award-winning actress brings elegant glamor to the red carpet.
Jessica Chastain briefly tried a pony hairstyle. The long bangs, however, hung too heavily on the forehead and covered Chastain's expressive eyes. Without hair on her face, Jessica Chastain looks younger, fresher, and more elegant.
Before-after hairstyles: 90s star Robin Wright celebrated a brilliant comeback with the Netflix series House of Cards as a style role model in Sheath dresses by Roland Mouret, Antonio Berardi, Ralph Lauren, and Narciso Rodriguez.
Robin Wright's elegant short haircut has also become a much-copied trend hairstyle. No wonder: after all, it was the super feminine pixie who made Claire Underwood a desirable alpha woman.
Robin Wright black hair
And that's how quickly a radiant blonde becomes a mysterious brunette beauty: Robin Wright dyed her long hair dark for a short time - and completely changed her type.
The facial features appear sharper and more pronounced, the actress was a little older than with blond hair.
Cate Blanchett short bob
Before and after hairstyles: Cate Blanchett is the epitome of style and elegance - and that doesn't just apply to her extraordinary sense of fashion. At major award ceremonies such as the Oscars and Golden Globes, the two-time Oscar winner with a deep side parting and laid waves like to remind you of the glamor of Old Hollywood, at premieres she likes to show her experimental side.
While the elegant wavy hairstyle makes Cate Blanchett a coveted Hollywood star, the straight, short bob with the hair clipped to the side looks playful and girlish.
Marion Cotillard long hair
Before and after hairstyles: Marion Cotillard is always good for a pinch of French chic on the red carpet. The French Oscar winner and Dior lover always know how to put herself in the limelight!
A before-and-after comparison shows that the sleek look emphasizes Cotillard's sensual eyes and emphasizes the oval face shape. With her hair open and ears exposed, Marion Cotillard's face appears smaller, the eyes less expressive.
Jennifer Connelly Bob
Before and after hairstyles: Jennifer Connelly is undisputedly one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. The green eyes to the black hair make the Oscar winner the eye-catcher on the red carpet.
The short bob with a center parting and soft waves is a classic hairstyle for an elegant appearance. With long hair in a sleek look, Jennifer Connelly looks younger and less complicated.
Julianne Moore: hairstyle with or without pony?
Before and after hairstyles: Without bangs, with strong copper-red hair color and with glamorous waves, the nice woman next door, with a straight layered cut and hair in a simple brown shade, becomes a veritable Hollywood star.
Julianne Moore proves how make-up and hairstyle conjure up a completely new type.
Scarlett Johansson red hair
Before and after hairstyles: Scarlett Johansson looks fresher and more natural with the blonde mane in her natural light hair color than with the dyed dark red hair.
Nevertheless, the hair in the dark red shade is of course an eye-catcher.
Michelle Williams short hair
Before-after hairstyles: Michelle Williams had a long blonde mane in the early noughties - it was only the radical short haircut that made the actress stand out from the sea of blonde Hollywood starlets.
The playful short haircut gives Michelle Williams' face more contour and recognition value. Very nicely done!
Erin O'Connor Bob
Before after pictures: Top model Erin O'Connor is an apparition. When the great Brit enters a room, heads turn. This is not least due to the casual style of Erin O'Connor - and her hairstyle.
The British woman loves the strict Louise Brooks bob in the 20s style and her typical crested hairstyle.
Rose Byrne pony
Before and after hairstyles: Rose Byrne likes it versatile! The new-look makes the actress look completely different.
The smooth, extra-long long bob with compact bangs gives it a trendy look, the voluminous wavy mane provides tactile sex appeal.
