There are some who opt to go with a bold pixie, like Zoe Kravitz, and there are others who choose an elegant lob, like Julianne Hough. Short hair works on all hair types, from pin-straight to coily curls. And don't worry about versatility, because there are so many options when it comes to styling short hair: You can still try out trending styles, like incorporating hair accessories and playing with texture.
These easy-to-manage, celebrity-inspired looks are exactly what you need to amp up your cropped cut and try something new. Whether you want beachy waves, sleek and straight strands, or a more formal updo, you won't be missing long hair with these options. Kerry Washington, Clare Foy, and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the many stars who are showing us exactly how to rock these more adventurous short hairstyles.
Whether you want to channel your favorite star exactly or try your own spin on a cropped cut, we have plenty of inspiration for you to sift through:

Slicked Down Side Part
You can make this boyish cut playful with bright blonde and a wet look. Slick down your hair with gel like Kristen Wiig to make yourself look elegant.

Casual Curly Pompadour
This two-toned hairstyle has just the right amount of height. Keep it all one color, or lighten the top like Jada Pinkett Smith. This is a great style to let your natural curls shine.

Slicked Back Bob
If you want an ultra-sleek style, look no further. Slick down your hair with gel for a wet look, but flip out the ends to make it interesting. Zoey Deutsch shows how wearable this style can be.

Sleek Ombré Bob
There's nothing more chic than a classic, chin-grazing bob. Sarah Paulson keeps it fresh with subtle ombré highlights.

Wavy Middle Part Bob
January Jones amps up a classic bob with subtle, barely-there waves. A middle part keeps this style sleek.

Asymmetrical Parted Lob
Lobs look good on any face shape, and they're also super easy to maintain. Pair it with an asymmetrical part and a subtle ombré, like Julianne Hough, and you've reached peak effortless chic.

Straight and Sleek Bob
No one does elegance like Lucy Liu. To emanate her style, try a pin-straight, one-length bob. Tuck it behind your ears and pair with fun, dangly earrings for even more impact.

Short Natural Curls
Let your natural texture shine. Jenifer Lewis embraces her beautiful coils with this short, face-framing style.

Deep Side Part
We typically see her with longer hair, but Maggie Grace's platinum blonde pixie is a fresh update to her usual look. With those longer ends on top, it's chic, fun, and flirty.

Side Swoops
Kerry Washington is giving us more inspiration for your everyday pixie. For more dimension, ask your stylist for longer side-swept bangs and lock them in with a hint of gel.

The Classic Ear Tuck
If you look closely, you can see a small clip that's keeping Rachel Bloom's hair out of her face on one side. The ear tuck and hair accessories are so on-trend these days, so why not just combine the two?

Blunt Bangs
For a more retro way to style your short hair, copy Winnie Harlow and ask for those blunt, straight-across bangs. We're also loving how her blow dry made sure all of her ends were flipped up.
16 of 50
Shaved Sides
Samira Wiley typically keeps her hair short, but this is her most severe cut yet. To emphasize her longer ends, she has the closest shave on both sides.
17 of 50
Slicked-Down Pixie
Pixie cuts are surprisingly versatile. In this case, Clare Foy is wearing hers deeply parted and slicked all to one side for a more formal look. Try a gel to keep your hair in place without stiffness.
18 of 50
Pushed Back Side Swoop
A brushed-out wave, created with a curling iron, adds retro drama to a deep side part. Pair it with long earrings, like Kate Hudson, for added drama.

Half Bun
Shorter cuts keep it from looking over-the-top, as seen on Mandy Moore. Bonus: If you have thinner hair, adding waviness to this style gives the illusion of more hair.

Voluminous Loose Curls
Hitting just below the ears, the side-parted style seen on Viola Davis is an incredibly flattering option for anyone growing out super-short hair to a bob or lob. Use a curling wand to this regal look.

Closed-Cropped Sides
This super-sophisticated take on the undercut allows for enough length on top to give you endless styling options, from flipping it to one side like Tilda Swinton, to creating curly, gravity-defying looks like some of the ones ahead.

Behind the Ear
If you have a slightly overgrown pixie cut, try this easy-to-achieve style. All you need to do to get hair like Margot Robbie is straighten your hair, give it a deep side part, and tuck it behind your ears.
23 of 50
Beachy Waves
"Beachy hair" doesn't have to translate to "long hair" — short-haired girls like Naomi Watts can rock beachy waves, too! Whether you use a curling iron or a hair straightener, this is an easy style to achieve.
24 of 50
Gravity-Defying Curls
No matter your hair color, this look stands out from the rest thanks to the combination of big retro curls on top and a modern buzz around the sides and back. You'll need a strong-hold hairspray to keep your curls as lifted as Mary J. Blige's.

Modern Mullet
Don't let the word "mullet" scare you. Greta Gerwig's loose interpretation is far more flattering than the original iteration, with the back being only slightly longer than the top and front.
26 of 50
Wet Look
Another trend that's not slowing down any time soon is the wet look. The key is to use gel to get the appearance of fresh-out-of-the-pool hair, like Julianne Hough.
27 of 50
Braided Bangs
A fun side braid is an easy way to keep your bangs out of your face — or disguise any unevenness while you're growing them out. Allison Pill demonstrates how to wear this plaited style.

Side Braids
Growing out a pixie cut can be frustrating. Enter: These simple pulled-back pigtail braids, seen on Taylor Hill. It's an easy way to revamp your haircut, even during that awkward in-between stage.
29 of 50
Pompadour
Amp up the volume with a full, round pompadour that shows off your gorgeous face shape. Take it to the next level with bold eyeliner, like Katy Perry.

Topknot
You may think this ultimate lazy day hairstyle isn't for short hair, but behold — it's possible! When you just can't be bothered to wash your hair, try spritzing some dry shampoo and popping your hair up into this sleek topknot, like Kate Mara.
