5 Celebs Who Have Rocked The Trendy Butterfly Haircut

The iconic layered cuts of the '60s, '70s, and '80s have a special place in our hearts. Of course, when it comes to fashion, nothing is ever really gone for good. The butterfly haircut has been popular on social media and has created a feathered moment among celebrities and their followers.  

The butterfly haircut creates dimension by combining short and long layers, including wispy layers around the chin to frame the face. This look can work on a variety of hair types, including super curly hair, and for different lengths, even short hair. This type of cut can also be a good way to create contouring for people with a rounder face.

For those who want to try the style out for themselves, here are a few celebs who rocked the style and looked amazing doing it! You could even show a few of these pics to your stylist for inspiration.

Country legend and icon Shania Twain has been known to push the envelope not only in music, but also style. So, it's no surprise that her hair has always been a moment. Twain has rocked the popular butterfly haircut several times and she owns it. She recently sported the style at a 2024 Forbes event where she accepted the "Know Your Value Award," and she just seemed to glow. On her social media, Twain shows that she is still not afraid to push boundaries when it comes to hair, sometimes sporting brightly colored wigs while on stage.

Ayo Edebiri is beautiful and multi-talented actress who has become a real rising star in Hollywood. Not to mention, her red carpet looks have us asking for seconds! Edebiri looks effortlessly stunning with the butterfly haircut, truly showing that the hairstyle can be rocked on so many hair types. She's also unafraid to rock her gorgeous natural hair, representation that is important for young people who don't often see people who look like them in the media.

A butterfly haircut list would not be complete without the queen herself, Sabrina Carpenter. The songstress is rarely seen without her blond tresses and bangs in bouncy curls. Carpenter looked amazing throughout her "Short n' Sweet" tour in 2024, which really amped up the popularity of the butterfly haircut. She certainly served as inspiration for countless fans, who've been begging their hair stylists to "please, please, please" replicate the look. 

Sofia Vergara. Do we need to say anything else? The actress is effortlessly stunning no matter what she wears or how she styles her hair — and we're going to need her to drop the location to the fountain of youth. Of course, she looks amazing in the butterfly haircut, which doesn't come as a surprise. Vergara told People that she can't go a day without washing her hair. "A lot of women ask me, shocked, how I do it everyday, but if I don't wash my hair, I don't feel like I wake up."

Kelly Rowland, the legendary songstress and former member of Destiny's Child, has been known to rock all sorts of looks, usually short. She's had blond and even blue hair, but we must say, the butterfly haircut really suits her! In this photo from Paris Fashion Week in 2023, Rowland's hair is enviably curly and cascading. She makes us want to call our stylists ASAP.
