By the time of the 2013 Costume Designers Guild Awards in early 2013, Lily had taken some major length off her hair so her brown locks fell just past her shoulders. For the event, she went with beachy waves--a simple complement to her plunging black dress.

For a fall 2014 "Marie Claire UK" photo shoot, the bob was back, but this time straight and with a ton of texture at the ends. Renato Campora, the hairdresser for the shoot, incorporated volume into Lily Collins' short hair with a deep side part and a long, forehead-sweeping section.

Lily took the plunge with a truly short haircut in 2015. She stunned at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscars party that February with a voluminous cropped cut. The style was cut close around the ears and neck, but longer pieces on top were dramatically swept to the right, giving fullness to the look.
