At the iHeart Radio Festival in Sept. 2012, Miley Cyrus had just chopped off her hair. While fans and style critics were concerned that she would lack versatility and femininity with such a close-cropped look, she showed that it was anything but one-note.

The platinum, white hot color was bold and grabbed your attention, but that blown-back pouf on the top? It was edgy and punk rock, elevating the super short style to fashionable in one fell swoop.

The coif called attention to all of her facial features, as she could no longer hide behind hair... not that she ever needed to!
