Celebrities are constantly and chronically changing up their hairstyles. But sometimes, they hit on a cut, a style, or a color—often a combination of all three—that becomes synonymous with their brand. From Marilyn Monroe's golden curls to Diana Ross' waves and even Elvis' voluminous swoop, we're talking about the iconic hairstyle that springs to mind when you visualize your favorite stars.
Which isn't to say that these hairstyles are—or were—permanent. (With stylists on hand and so many colors and cuts to play with, why limit yourself to a single look?) But more often than not, the celebrities in question return to their trademark style time and time again. In some cases, their signature hair moment is more than just a great hairstyle: it represents feminity, risk-taking, or even transgression.
