Taking the chop seems to be the latest trend over the past few years. Tons of celebrities have traded in their long locks for lengths ranging from shoulder length to pixie cuts! These bold looks make quite the statement and are inspiring people to take the plunge and go for a short cut as well! We picked these five celebrities who we think rock the short hair look the best!

1. Taylor Swift

Pop queen Taylor Swift took her look from sweet to sassy when she chopped off her long hair! Perhaps her best friend Karlie Kloss’s look had something to do with inspiring Taylor, but either way, we are loving it! Taylor Swift is always on the move, dancing on stage, and doing quick outfit changes, so a low maintenance, short cut is perfect for such an active superstar! Her cut frames her face perfectly and gives her a vintage-funky vibe! We approve Taylor!

2. Emma Watson

Emma Watson transformed from innocent to sophisticated with her short, pixie look. After she finished filming the Harry Potter series, this movie star needed a change, and we love her choice in haircut! She totally vamped up her look and made girl want to make the dramatic chop just like her! Emma definitely rocks the pixie look!

3. Kristin Wiig

This comedy queen can do no wrong, are we right? Her short bob is perfect for her face-shape and definitely appropriate for her personality! She looks super sassy, which we all know she definitely is, and the reddish-brown color is feisty and definitely suits her! Her chin-length bob is fresh and clean and we totally dig it!

4. Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley would be gorgeous no matter what hair style she chose, but we absolutely love her with short hair! She took a major risk by chopping of her beautiful,long hair and going for a sleek, short look. This haircut may have been for a movie roll, but man can this girl rock it! The slicked-back look makes her face stand out and really shows off her eyes! We totally approve of this sleek, sexy look!

5. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is one badass chick who can take any look and totally roll with it! Her look transformed when she cut her long hair and chose a short, layered look! She is so confident and her haircut makes her look so free and funky! Jennifer is the Dior spokes-girl, and her short, choppy cut really shows off her high-fashion Dior gowns on the red carpet! She would be lovely with any length of hair, but this short look really seems to suit her spunky personality! We love Jennifer’s look!
