A look back at Demi Moore&rsquo;s most iconic hairstyles through the decades.

From the flirtatious bounce of '80s curls to the razor-sharp <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/the-most-iconic-pixie-cuts-of-all-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pixie</a> from Ghost, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/who-is-scout-larue-willis-surprising-facts-demi-moore-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Demi Moore</a>&rsquo;s hair has long been a vessel of reinvention, with each chop marking a new chapter of her evolving iconography.
Moore&rsquo;s voluminous curly hair was a signature in her early career, as seen in films like St. Elmo&rsquo;s Fire (1985) and About Last Night (1986). By the mid-&rsquo;80s, she embraced her natural texture&mdash;full of bounce, body, and movement&mdash;before trading spirals for the sleek, straight silhouettes that would become her hallmark look.
Then came Ghost (1990), in which Moore made a dramatic shift to an ultra-short (and absolutely iconic) pixie, styled by salon maverick John Sahag. The bold, youthful cut marked a radical departure from her long locks&mdash;one that went on to make pop culture history.
Through the '90s, Moore&rsquo;s hair mirrored the era&rsquo;s wildly popular minimalist aesthetic. In films like Indecent Proposal (1993) and Disclosure (1994), her glossy, pin-straight hair became synonymous with power and sensuality. Even as her career evolved, transformation remained central to her beauty narrative. She famously <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/all-of-the-actors-who-shaved-their-head-for-a-role-emma-stone-bald" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shaved her head</a> for G.I. Jane in 1997, proving she could break the rules and still be ultra-chic. Earlier, she had already turned heads with a blonde, sculpted crop&mdash;a rare detour from her signature dark hair.
In the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/destinys-child-floral-bustier-bra-low-rise-jeans-outfit-mtv-icon-tribute-2001" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2000s</a>, Moore&rsquo;s waist-length dark hair became her red-carpet signature, often styled in effortless waves. The sleek look defined her appearances at premieres and awards shows and inspired a wave of minimalist elegance in Hollywood. She carried the same sleek aesthetic into the 2010s, including Met Gala appearances and her surprise runway debut at Fendi&rsquo;s Spring 2021 couture show in Paris, where her jet-black hair framed her face with architectural precision, as always.&nbsp;
In more recent years, she has returned to her signature long, sleek hair with occasional fringe or soft layers. She was most recently seen with blunt bangs in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-the-tiger-film-demna-debut-campaign-demi-moore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci&rsquo;s The Tiger.</a>
