    “Angelina Jolie may have been the breakout star of Girl, Interrupted, but Winona’s cheeky homage to Jean Seberg is equally iconic—and one of the top 10 pixie cuts of all time, at least in my book.”

    “This photo has been dominating my Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram feeds for years, but I still love it. Ryder’s jet black shoulder-grazing hair, pale skin, and red lips are close to perfection.”

    “Winona as a bubblegum-blowing, tough-talking, chain-smoking cabbie in Night on Earth, driving Gena Rowlands around in L.A., cigarette tucked behind her ear, baseball cap worn backward.”

    “The best thing about Winona’s hair is that it’s always primed for throwing her hands through it in the sort of brooding pensive way that gives her so much charm on-screen. I already have a knockoff nonchalant Winona bob, but I wish with all my heart I could pull off her choppy, home-haircut-esque grown-out pixie from Reality Bites. It’s smart, feminine, and totally fearless. Wino forever.”

    “All-time favorite: the shot of Winona at the end of Heathers with her hair exploded and ash in her face. Second best? Her look in the same film when she and Heather number one go to the college kegger.”

    “Is there anything better than Winona and Johnny in this picture? Her hair’s a little sweaty, so is his. They’re so young, so cool, so far from the perfectly styled red carpet-ness of today.”

    “I have always had a soft spot for How to Make an American Quilt Winona: perfect summer don’t-give-a-shit hair and a majorly underrated movie.”

    “Her Golden Globe look in 1991 is interesting because she looks so grown-up compared to how she looks in the movie she was nominated for, which was Mermaids, with Cher.”
