The Game of Thrones star unveiled her head-turning new look, which she got in preparation to play Cressida in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, at the 2014 SAG Awards on Jan. 18. ''[Cressida] comes from the Capitol, so she's got a stylized thing going on and now she's turned rebel,'' said Dormer. ''I think it's right for the character.'' —Bronwyn Barnes

Now that America's BFF has chopped off all her hair, trend spotters might just see an upswing of pixie cuts this holiday season. The dramatic new 'do — in addition to losing inches, she also lightened the color — wasn't for a movie role. Instead, Lawrence jokingly announced, ''I just did it to make Francis [Lawrence, Hunger Games: Catching Fire director] mad!'' before clarifying that, really, her hair was just fried from all the brunette dye jobs she had to undergo to play heroine Katniss Everdeen. The arena has nothing on the painful realities of hair care. —Erin Strecker

Were fans ''Crazy in Love'' with Mrs. Carter's decision to let stylist Neal Farinah chop off her signature windblown tendrils in favor of a punky pixie? That'd be a resounding ''YES!'' according to the million-plus likes the R&B diva garnered on a series of three Aug. 8, 2013, Instagram pics. —Lanford Beard
Anne Hathaway

Going under the shears ''reduced me to, like, mental-patient-level crying,'' Anne Hathaway told Kelly Ripa of shaving her head to play Fantine in Les Misérables. Apparently, a $10 million paycheck is hollow succor to an actress who is bereft of hair. —Bronwyn Barnes

Is that Peggy Olson or Twiggy? The Mad Men star showed off a lighter, shorter style at the New York premiere of For a Good Time, Call. Do blondes really have more fun? They do when their super-sleek short 'do cuts an hour off primping time. —Lanford Beard

In February 2007, the pop starlet paid a late-night visit to Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, Calif., where she seized a pair of clippers and proceeded to shave her own head.

Before hitting the road to promote Lost in Translation in 2003, Johansson debuted a '70s shag at New York Fashion Week. The actress described the style as a Florence Henderson-inspired mullet, but gave off more of a Ziggy Stardust ''screwed down hairdo'' vibe. —Bronwyn Barnes

Another Bowie homage came courtesy of the True Blood star, whose androgynous coiffure balanced out her generally feminine aesthetic. ''I think I'm a little controversial,'' she told E! Online.

Couture fashion shows in Paris, double dates with then-husband Tom Cruise and David and Victoria...in the summer of 2007, Katie Holmes had clearly fallen under the influence of the crossover Brit formerly known as Posh Spice. So much so that celebrity hair-watchers (yes, there is such a thing) wondered if her angular bob was a copycat cut. —Bronwyn Barnes

After making waves with a shoulder-length girl-next-door look since breaking out on Dawson's Creek in 1998, Williams changed it up in late 2010 with a style dedicated to her late partner — and the father of her daughter, Matilda — Heath Ledger.

Portman may have picked up an English accent for 2005's V for Vendetta, but she also lost a whole lot of hair. Living on the razor's edge, Portman and director James McTeigue took a gamble as they filmed her head-shaving scene in a single take. —Lanford Beard
