Selena Gomez is always on the move. Whether she’s hosting bachelorette parties or delivering heartfelt wedding speeches, the singer-turned-actress is constantly promoting new projects and making surprise appearances. She recently attended the Cannes Film Festival and even performed at Coachella. Throughout her decade-long career, Selena’s hairstyles have undergone a metamorphosis. She has never experienced awkward teen years, as far as we can tell. To celebrate her 27th birthday, let’s take a trip down memory lane and admire the stunning hairstyles she’s sported over the past 12 years, including those iconic side-swept bangs of the early 2000s.
Selena’s hairstyle in 2007 was enviable, with its straightened, layered look and perfectly placed side bangs that many of us struggled to replicate during the mid-2000s.
In 2008, Patrick McMullan stated that corkscrew curls will always remain a classic hairstyle.
Neilson Barnard captured a defining moment of Selena’s look in the popular show Wizards of Waverley Place. The red highlights added spice to her appearance.
The photo from FilmMagic taken in 2008 showcases a stylish appearance that can be appreciated at any age. However, it’s hard not to feel envious of how much more fashionable she was than us at just 15 years old.
In 2009, the popular hairstyle of side-swoop bangs continued to thrive, but with a little assistance from hair extensions.
The photo captured by UK Press via Getty Images in 2010 shows Selena looking absolutely glamorous. Her hair is styled in voluminous Hollywood waves, and she has a noticeable deep part.
Selena displayed a remarkable sense of style that was way ahead of her time. Her outfit from 2010 looks like it was designed for the present year. She was truly ahead of her time.
In 2010, there was a moment when the waves disappeared and she took advantage of it by letting her hair fall straight.
In the year 2011, it was a time when the trend of having “Cali hair” was at its peak.
In 2011, Jun Sato styled Sel’s hair to perfection with a collarbone-length cut that featured subtle waves at the tips. The end result was simply stunning.
