| In celebration of the most superlative holiday of the year--10/10/10, that is--we’ve rounded up the ten best hairstyles from the past ten years. Some of them were shoo-ins: Halle Berry’s roughed-up pixie is such a classic that she’s still sporting it today. Katie Holmes’s graphic bob has been the top tried on style in our Hollywood Makeover Tool for as long as we can remember. A few of the picks, however, were more of a surprise--click through our gallery to see if your favorite stars and haircuts made our list. (And because we couldn’t help ourselves. We chose an 11th style as a treat!) (CREDIT: Tim Whitby/WireImage; Gregg DeGuire/WireImage; Sipa Press; Robin Platzer/Twin Images/Liaison) More of the Best Haircuts |
