Carey Mulligan sported a really cute Pixie Cut at the 2010 Oscars ceremony. The pixie cut hairstyle, that is very fashionable this year, really suits her face shape. She has a kind of elfin look, an oval shaped face that suits most hairstyles, and the dimples in her cheeks are accentuated by this short crop hairstyle.

Carey Mulligan has gone from long wavy classic styled hair, to this really modern look and it looks really great!


This is quite a daring cut, as previously Careys hairstyle was alot longer as seen in the next picture ..

Carey won a Bafta earlier this month for her role in An Education and was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for best actress. But the British newcomer lost out at the awards ceremony last night to Sandra Bullock, for her performance in The Blind Side.

She definitely was not outshone in the hairstyle department though!

Pixie Hair Cut tutorial - 20s hairstyles

A pixie cut refers to a short woman's hairstyle generally short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top. Women began exploring shorter hairstyles in the 1920s.

It has since been a rollercoaster trend and has been reappearing and disappearing frequently throughout the years. In the past year the pixie cut has been brought back into the spotlight, being worn by world famous stars and models such as Alyssa Milano, Keira Knightley, Rihanna, Katie Holmes, Agyness Deyn, Elisha Cuthbert, Victoria Beckham, Ashley Greene, Lauren Holly and others.

Pixie cuts work best on women with thin straight hair. Fine features, such as high cheek bones and large eyes, are accentuated with this hairstyle. Depending on the style, pixies range from as short as a half inch in some places to two or three inches long in others. Pixies are very easy to care for and can be worn casually, or dressed up for special occasions.
