We’ve all been privy to a questionable haircut at some point during our lives, unless you’re Angelina Jolie of course. The Hollywood veteran has never been one to shy away from a little experimentation in the hair department, meaning a transformative beauty moment is always on the card for the actress. 

Back in 1998, Angelina debuted one of her most dramatic hair transformations to date. The star rocked a buzzcut for the premiere of Playing God at the Criterion Theater, opting for a black dye job that served up punk princess.

Angelina completed her new look with a vampiric makeup look. A porcelain complexion, a silver-blue eyeshadow blend, a flutter of mascara, and a perfect peachy pout contributed to her cool-girl aesthetic.

She wore a longline leather trench coat boasting a nipped-in waist, a masculine fit, a floor-skimming silhouette, and large lapels. A selection of delicate gold chains adorned her neck, adding a glint of sparkle to her Matrix-inspired attire.

 Angelina’s hair archive spans buzzcuts to blonde, curls to bangs, and many more styles that mean we are never short of some hair inspo when we feel like switching it up in the haircare field.

 To this day, the actress likes to switch up her tresses, be it with some color, a cut, or a new style. To mark the beginning of the summer, the Hollywood star has opted for a new look.
