What Is a "Bixie" and Do I Need One?
1) Liv Tyler, 1998
Tyler's wispy short style looked perfect with her oval face shape, one of the best fits for the look, according to Giannetos. “A pixie bob looks amazing on oval, heart, and square face shapes because it enhances bone structure," says the hairstylist, adding that "It’s great for fine to medium hair types since the cut naturally adds volume and lift."
2) Halle Berry, 2001
One of the most iconic haircuts of the early aughts. (Bring it back, Halle!)
4) Victoria Beckham, 2007
One thing the Victoria docuseries had us nostalgic about, aside from a Spice Girls reunion? Victoria Beckham's angled cut circa the mid-aughts.
5) Joan Smalls, 2021
The supermodel's crop at the "In America"-themed Met Gala was a shocking foil to her usual long, flowing hair.
7) Emma Stone, 2025
Ever since she debuted a pixie at the 2025 Golden Globes (a result of shaving her head for her film Bugonia), Stone and her hairstylist, Mara Roszak, have given a masterclass in how to grow out your hair. Case in point: her ear-length bixie at the Venice Film Festival.
8) Anok Yai, 2025
The model added a sharp center part and full curl to her look, proving that this style is as versatile as it is face-flattering.
