subject: 2012 -the Year In Celebrity Hairstyles [print this page] 2012 was the year of the chameleon as celebrities all embraced their ever changing style personas and experimented with their hair. From royal fringes to bold colours, celebrity hairstyles have hit the headlines over the last 12 months. We look at the top styles of 2012 and predict just what we will be seeing once 2013 is in full stylish swing!
Whether you call them fringes or bangs, 2012 saw celebrities all across the globe reaching for the scissors to create this popular style! One of the most famous fringe reveals came from the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. Her glossy locks were snipped into a more contemporary side fringe style which looks fantastic coupled with her new pregnancy glow! Taylor Swift also settled into her own signature hair style, a thick set of bangs complimented with smooth curls that settle on one side of her face. A classic look that has proved popular with fans and Taylor copycats.
Miley Cyrus may have been known for her teen idol status however in 2012 she debuted a shocking new punk look that has had many fashionistas reaching for the clippers. Her long caramel hair was replaces with a peroxide blonde pixie cut reminiscent of Gwen Stefani. Her new hair complements her new edgy dress sense, a true reinvention! Another celebrity who went for a dramatic chop was Anne Hathaway who shaved off her hair for her part as Fantine in the film adaptation of Les Miserables. The actress is known for her dedication to her craft and had previously cut her hair short for her role in One Day.
Although she is loved as a red head, Emma Stone dyed her hair a soft brown for her role in the Amazing Spiderman. Channelling Gwen Stacey, the actress proves that there is not just one hair colour that suits you the best. Whether red, blonde or even brunette, Emma Stone looks absolutely fabulous. One celebrity who is going back to her red roots is Lindsay Lohan; the wild child may have had a rough year however her switch from platinum blond to her natural soft ginger had everyone reaching for their copies of Mean Girls.
With 2013 just around the corner, we predict that the New Year will bring even more dramatic hair styles and changes. With Rihanna apparently incapable of keeping one style for more than a month and plenty of blockbuster films awaiting release, our eyes are firmly fixed on the red carpet.
