If everyone had access to a team of hairstylists [1], we might change things up a little more often. But in the meantime, we'll settle for living vicariously through our favourite celebrities [2]. It seems like every day, someone is debuting a bold new hair colour [3] or style, and based on what we've seen so far, that rings extremely true in 2020.
With a whirlwind award season behind us and big new-decade energy in the air, it's no surprise that celebs have been switching up their looks in major ways. Just take Selena Gomez [4] and Khloé Kardashian [5], for example. And if we had to guess, that doesn't show any signs of slowing down soon, either.
So while you wait for your favourite celebrity to spark an Instagram frenzy with their newest hair transformation, take a look at some of the best ones we've already seen this year. Including last-minute award show hair colour changes [6] and new signature looks in the making [7], keep scrolling to see our favourites all in one place. Who knows, they might inspire your own colour transformation.
Kylie Jenner
The Kardashian-Jenners never fail to surprise us with their quick hair colour (and cut) changes, often with the help of incredible wig stylists. This time, however, Kylie Jenner went all in on the real thing, trading her black hair for a dimensional caramel-brown.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens [8] has been sporting her nearly-black hair since hair since High School Musical [9] first debuted. Sure, she's tried a few balayage and ombré shades — even throwing a few wigs into the mix — but chocolate brown? That's a new one, and we fully support it.
Amandla Stenberg
The red carpet at Vanity Fair's annual Oscars Party is arguably as impressive as the actual award show's. That theory was confirmed when Amandla Stenberg stepped out in blonde box braids, which they have been rocking ever since. The chin-length bob style reportedly took six hours to complete [10], but there's no doubt it was well worth it.
Megan Rapinoe
Beyond being well known for her skills on the football field, Megan Rapinoe's pink hair has caught the attention of fans everywhere. Recently, however, she decided to take things one step further with seemingly unicorn-inspired hair. Featuring a mix of pastel purples and blues, hair stylist Riawna Capri [11] created what she calls #moonshinemagic.
Ariana Grande
In case you missed the Grammy's red carpet, allow us to catch you up on one of the most surprising beauty moments of the night: Ariana's new blond ponytail. Keeping her brunette roots intact, the singer said "Thank U, Next" to her darker ends.
Megan Thee Stallion
Turning 25 can definitely be considered a milestone, and Megan Thee Stallion made sure to celebrate in style. The rapper, who often experiments with her hair colour, opted for electric blue space buns, complete with makeup and an outfit to match.
Lady Gaga
Mother Monster is no stranger to experimenting with hair colour, but based on a string of recent Instagrams, it looks like her bubblegum pink hair [12] might be here to stay (for a while, at least). But what would a Lady Gaga [13] look be without a little twist? Barely-there blond brows are the cherry on top, making the new look feel so authentically her.
Olivia Colman
Olivia Colman is the true queen of award season, and her last-minute Oscars transformation is proof [14]. The Crown actress decided to undergo a major colour just three hours before the award show, and her team's hard work definitely paid off. The new hair colour looked amazing in contrast with a velvet navy dress.
Ashley Benson
From blonde to brunette, Ashley Benson isn't afraid to switch up her hair colour, but pink really caught our attention. The actress posted a handful of photos on Instagram showcasing a dimensional pink bob. The contrast with her darker brows made for a totally edgy look.
Ashley Benson (Again)
If you thought Ashley Benson's pink hair was shocking, things only get more interesting. Based on her most recent Instagrams, it appears her hair is back to brown — and extra long [15]! No matter what colour and style she chooses next, we have no doubt she'll pull it off flawlessly.
Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron heats up any red carpet [16] she steps onto, and the Golden Globes were no exception. Hours before the show, she gave her short blond hair an upgrade, opting for a brighter, slightly more yellow tone and sleek, ultra-cropped style.
Katy Perry
Over the past few years, Katy Perry [17] has experimented with various cuts and lengths, but one thing that's stayed consistent? Her icy platinum blonde. That all changed when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the newest season of American Idol.
