Kelly's hair always had so.much. VOLUME. We wonder how long it took her to do every morning!

Is there any hairstyle more iconic than Marge's huge hair? As well as the incredible bright blue hue, the sheer volume of her hair never fails to impress us.
Rex FeaturesMia Farrow’s Crop - Rosemary's Baby, 1967
Almost 50 years ago, Vidal Sassoon was filmed chopping Mia’s lengthy locks into a jaw-droppingly-short crop for Roman Polanski’s new flick, Rosemary’s Baby. The rest, as they say, is history...
Rex FeaturesSigourney Weaver’s Shaved Head - Alien 3, 1992
Quite simply as ‘bad ass’ as they come. The first woman to shave their head for Hollywood, nobody gives grade one like our Sig. Should you ever wish to replicate her awesomeness, the steamy mirror and blunt razor are mandatory. Dangerous criminals and homicidal alien optional.
Rex FeaturesThe 'Rachel' – Friends, 1995
The cut that launched a thousand copycats - Jennifer Aniston's signature choppy bob, complete with face-framing highlights, became the style that defined a decade. Almost twenty years on, this iconic cut is possibly the most famous TV tress-fest of all time, and although Jen has since confessed she hated it, we’ve still got a soft spot for Rachel Green’s bouncy shag.
Rex FeaturesGwyneth Paltrow’s Crop - Sliding Doors, 1998
Gwyneth went from unassuming side-act to style-savvy leading lady (and Brad Pitt’s fiance, no less) in one swing of a stylist’s chair when she showcased themust-have crop of 1998. Even Brad himself copied it...
Rex FeaturesJulia Roberts’ Red Curls - Pretty Woman, 1990
We all sighed with relief when Viv ditched the blonde hooker wig in favour of this wild mop of bouncy red curls. "Better," agreed Richard Gere bluntly. Indeed.
Rex FeaturesCameron Diaz in ‘that’ moment - There's Something About Mary, 1998
"Is that hair gel?" she asked. Not exactly... Nor is it a look we’ve been tempted to recreate, with regular strong-hold gel or, ahem, otherwise, but it’s still possibly Cameron’s most infamous and iconic ‘do to date.
The Edward – Twilight, 2008
Robert Pattinson’s carefully-dishevelled deliciousness is just one of the reasons we love him so. Many have tried to emulate this look (just check out the amount of how-to vids on youtube, featuring guys who sadly, look NOTHING like R-Patz), but failed. How we'd love to get our fingers tangled up in that sexy mess.
Rex FeaturesPatsy Stone’s Smuggling Beehive – Absolutely Fabulous, 1992
Remember that moment when Patsy shook out her signature blonde beehive to reveal enough narcotics to floor a rhino? British TV gold.
Rex FeaturesDemi Moore’s Androgynous Crop – Ghost, 1990
Cast your minds back to 1990. We ALL wanted Demi’s spunky pixie crop with peekaboo fringe. 'Course, we also ALL wanted Patrick Swayze, a pottery wheel and a shedload of soggy clay...
Rex FeaturesDemi Moore’s Jarhead - GI Jane, 1997
Just seven short years later, Demi was shaving her noggin and shouting "suck my d*ck!" as a Navy SEALS recruit – proving she wasn’t afraid to go to great lengths for a role. It’s not her best look, admittedly, but you can’t deny it’s a memorable moment in Hollywood hair.
Rex FeaturesSamantha ditches the wig – Sex and the City s6, 2004
Sam came, she saw, she kicked The Big C’s ass! And we witnessed one of the greatest moments in SATC history when Ms Jones – so ‘over’ the hot flashes and with her face running all down her couture – dropped the F-bomb repeatedly and ripped off her wig on-stage at a Breast Cancer Benefit, with all the other women following suit. Just. Awesome.
Rex FeaturesNatalie Portman REALLY shaves her head – V For Vendetta, 2005
Nat’s dis-tressing (pun, intended) on-screen razor-ing is so infamous, an indie rock / electronica band from Seattle even named themselves Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. True story.
Rex FeaturesJohnny Depp’s Captain Jack - Pirates of the Caribbean, 2003
When we heard that JD was to be sporting beaded dreadlocks and a questionable beard for his role as an irreverent pirate trickster, we were convinced he was trying to make himself as unattractive as possible. Then we saw him. And yes, we still fancied the scurvy pants off him.
Rex FeaturesAudrey Hepburn in the rain - Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961
Movie romance can ask for no better a wingman than rain, but hair – not so much. However, Hepburn’s signature, iconic beehive may have been flattened by the torrential New York downpour in that kissing scene, but boy, did she pull it off!
Rex FeaturesDolly Parton - Steel Magnolias, 1989
Has there ever been a better example of the ‘80s power perm than that of the fabulous Dolly? Gravity-defying and coiffed to perfection. "I usually wrap my entire head in toilet paper when I go to bed, so it usually gets pretty smooshed down," she said. Genius.
Rex FeaturesHugh Grant’s Floppy Hair – Four Weddings and a Funeral, 1994
Making ‘public school boy chic’ sexy for the first time in, well, ever! Hugh’s thick head of ever-floppy hair was almost enough to distract us from Andie Macdowell’s total inability to deliver a line...
Rex FeaturesSandy’s Perm – Grease, 1978
So the fast-track route to instant cool was a perm, some leather and a pack of cigarettes all along – who knew? Tell us about it, stuuuuud.
Rex FeaturesUma Thurman’s Karate Chop-py bob – Kill Bill, 2003
Kill Billwill forever have a place in our movie buff hearts for many a’reason. A stellar cast, kick-ass soundtrack, and some super-stylish mise-en-scene– yet it was Uma’s contradictory blunt yet choppy 'do that rewrote a hundred hairstyles. As cool and as covetable as they come.
Rex FeaturesSienna Miller’s Bardot Babydoll – Alfie, 2005
Sienna may have been making waves in the fashion world for her ‘boho’ style circa the mid-noughties, but it was when she got her Bridgette Bardot on - with lengthy waves and peekaboo bangs - opposite Jude Law that she smouldered her way on to our hair-style radar.
Rex FeaturesCarrie's Curly Bob - Sex and the City s5, 2002
When Aiden left, little Miss Bradshaw really did wash that man right outta her hair – losing a whole lotta length but gaining a whole new lotta style points in the meantime. Her corkscrew curl take on the classic ‘Pob’ had curly girlies the world over rejoicing, and rushing to the salon to follow suit.
