Glamour Hairstyles For Short Hair

When looking for a glamorous hairstyle for a special occasion, the best place to go is the red carpet. Celebrities are increasingly wearing their hair shorter, thanks to the flexibility a short cut provides. A short hairstyle, with very little care, can appear both glamorous and casual, depending on the setting. If you are looking for a short style, consider a few looks sported by these celebrities.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham has made glamor her signature to the point that when she was singing with the Spice girls, she adopted the moniker "Posh Spice." These days, she's dyed her dark locks blonde and sports an asymmetrical cut, with side-swept bangs that blend into chin-length layers, and a short, clipped and textured back. Victoria created this look to help her husband launch a line of fragrance.

Natalie Portman

While Natalie has worn some odd hairstyles in her role as Queen Padme for the "Star Wars" franchise, she created a buzz while filming "V for Vendetta" due to her shaved head. Since then, she's sported a close-cropped pixie cut that showcases her features. The pixie cut is an ideal look for women who have thin hair. Add volumizing mousse to wet hair and follow up with a light shaping spray.

Amy Lee

The lead singer of Evanescence has been known for her Goth hair: long, flowing, curly black locks. Recently, she shocked her fans by shearing off all of those curls for a short curly bob that is reminiscent of the 1920's flapper look. A number of celebrities with longer hair have recently emulated this style by pinning their longer hair into a low updo with curls.

Katie Holmes

Since becoming linked to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes has become a trend setter. Holmes favors shiny, sleek bobs that vary from ear to chin length. This style can have flippy ends or sleek, face hugging locks, a side part and a thick fringe of bangs.

Selma Blair

This actress is best known for her supporting role in the science fiction film "Hellboy." Selma sports a short, beveled cut with angled, side-swept bangs. Where short cuts can appear masculine, the beveled cut softens the edges and makes this cut look feminine.

Christiana Ricci

In addition to her acting talent, Christina Ricci is known for her fearlessness in changing hair color and shape. Some of Christina's hairstyles have been emulated by teens looking for a Goth appearance. These days, Christina Ricci is sporting golden brown straight hair in a chin-length. Ricci frequently disguises her wider forehead with thick bangs.
