12 of the Best Celebrity Mullets of All Time

There isn’t a hairstyle more controversial than the mullet. Still, for decades, celebs in Hollywood have been definitely rocking the confusing hair trend that can’t decide whether it wants to be long or short. Still, with the right graduated layers, colors, and proportions, a mullet can be surprisingly chic and edgy. When it’s done wrong, however, it’s provocative in all the wrong ways. Either way, mullets are back with a vengeance, and it’s time to pay tribute with the most iconic celebrities who jumped on the mullet bandwagon at some point (or permanently) over the years.

1. Miley Cyrus

Miley debuted this look back at the beginning of 2020, and since her dad is a country mullet icon, we can’t say that we’re surprised by this homage. However, with her cool girl sunglasses and cowboy boots, she made this look casual yet sophisticated. Back in 2008, an interviewer asked her if the mullet would make a comeback, and she enthusiastically said yes. 2020 Miley obviously still agree!

2. Billie Eilish

With a healthy dose of slime green highlights, Billie Eilish tackled the mullet trend in a way that was…well, signature Billie. She wore the look effortlessly with a loose, silk suit, but according to Eilish, her mullet was an accidental result of a dye-job where half of her hair was burned off. Either way, this mistake trend still looked on point and is proof that the singer can make a trend out of literally anything.

3. Taylor Momsen

This Gossip Girl actress wore a mullet back in 2008, when she attended the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This shaggy mullet, like many on this list, featured graduated layers and long bangs so that the look was not too severe.

4. Scarlett Johansson

Scar-Jo rocked her mullet at NY Fashion Week back in 2005. With a face like that, you can pull anything off. But she was giving us some serious country cowgirl vibes with this look. Thank goodness for those dreamy eyes and pouty lips to provide some distraction.
