Cameron Diaz

As Cameron Diaz graces the cover of V magazine, apparently channelling the soul of Madonna (circa cone-like boobs era) and gives her girly, beach babe, long golden locks the flick in favour of a platinum quiff and tattoos, we take a look at other A-listers who have turned from elegant to edgy with the help of a hairbrush.

Agyness Deyn

Agyness' sleek, chic short bob is an elegant way of wearing her grown out, punky, bleached blonde crop.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker's severe, centre-parted, poker-straight ponytail has an edgy, fashion-forward feel compared to her grown-up highly coiffed updo, with pretty but twee sparkling barrette.

Natalie Portman

It doesn't get any edgier than shaving your head and, in the glamorously girly world of Hollywood, this was a seriously brave move for the young actress, proving her acting means more to her than a spread in a boys' mag.

Scarlett Johansson

With her blonde locks and full, luscious lips Scarlett regularly looks like '50s pin up on the red carpet but she still isn't afraid of mixing things up with styles like this super choppy Bowie-esque crop. We didn't say we liked it however.

Kylie Minogue

Kylie's extreme, futuristic updo looks modern and funky compared to her voluminous waves and curls.

Emma Watson

The Harry Potter star has grown up recently appearing in the Burberry adverts looking more like a woman and less like a Hogwarts schoolgirl. And even though fresh-faced prettiness comes so easily to this Brit, we can't help but love the dirty roots and messy mid-length style she rocks so well.

Marion Cotillard

The French actress opts for slicked back sides and high quiff to promote her film Public Enemies, a modern move away from the chic curls she usually sports.

Pink

The punkiest of pop princesses reveals her ladylike side with this pincurled, '40s-style do.

Kate Moss

Elegant isn't usually a word we associate with perhaps the world's most famous supermodel, but even rock chick Kate Moss can work an elegant updo when required.
