Caribbean Queen
When Rihanna busted onto the scene with her 2005 dance hit 'Pon De Replay,' her look was simple and sweet. Yet, her run-of-the-mill outfit and cheap-looking wig were far from her current cool, refined style. (Photo: GeorgePimentel, WireImage.com) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Young, Black and Fabulous
At the start of her career, Rihanna used her modest means to enhance her considerable beauty. This styling technique, the flat twist, dresses up an otherwise simple 'do. (Photo: Peter Kramer, Getty Images) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Mo' Money, Mo Hair
After becoming an international pop chart success, Rihanna was able to buy a better weave and went on a shopping spree. While her hair here has a more natural-looking cut and color, it looks super-heavy, and does not bring out her looks. (Photo: George Pimentel, WireImage.com) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Wet and Wild
Rihanna experimented further with the mega-weave in the early part of her career, this time adding crimped waves. Her look is still "urban pop princess," sporting hoop earrings and brassy colors. (Photo: Kevin Winter, Getty Images) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Playing Dress Up
After some time in the spot light, Rihanna began to step up her hair style game. She experimented here with wispy bangs and a high, full pony tail. Her clothing and accessories have also taken on a more mature tone. (Photo: Frazer Harrison, Getty Images) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
A Cleaner Look
By the time of the release of her second hit, 'S.O.S.,' Rihanna's look had evolved into a cleaner and simpler style. Her hair is very elegantly layered and her highlights enhance her face. Overnight, Rihanna went from cute to classy. (Photo: Frank Micelotta, Getty Images) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Letting the Weave Go
Taking her clean look further, Rihanna wore this very simple bob to the 2007 Grammy Awards. The length suits her, looking neither too heavy with weave nor too young with waves and embellishments. (Photo: Lester Cohen, WireImage.com) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Rihanna Wows 'Em
Taking her short look further, Rihanna continued to work the chin length bob to perfection in 2007. At the BET Awards, she set herself apart from the typical starlets by dying her hair black and donning tousled ringlets. (Photo: Jason Merritt, FilmMagic.com) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
Mystery Girl
At the 2007 World Music Awards in Monaco, Rihanna wore a fuller version of her dark curled style, this time with a sensual emerald-toned gown. The cut and color of her hair help her to look both mature and mysterious. (Photo: Chris Jackson, Getty Images) - Rihanna Hair Transformation
The Curls Continue
This time sporting a super-sexy plunging neckline, Rihanna shows the versatility of this feminine style, here curlier than usual. (Photo: Stephen Shugerman, Getty Images)

Hawaiian Silky?
Maybe. At any rate, Tyra Banks goes for the free flowing care-be-darned look with an exotic flower as an accent. A burnt sienna mix of reds and browns are the colors she chooses on this day. Frank Micelotta, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Flapper

Pretty & Tousled
With barrel ringlettes and hints of cranberry and auburn, Tyra shines as she keeps her make-up light so that the real star (her hair) can shine. Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Twosome
Somehow this look of two seemingly separate hair styles ("bump-rows" and hair out in the back) works -- kind of a sophisticated shag. Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Glamour Puss
Tyra's giving us old Hollywood glamour with soft cascading waves parted on the side. That come hither look is dangerous! Frank Micelotta, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Razor Sharp
With blonde streaks peeking out of a wispy, mid-length precision cut, Tyra is channeling the edgy girl she's not known to be. Chris Weeks, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Foxy Brown
With a more subdued brown all-around, Tyra is picture perfect with medium sized ringletts and eyelashes that pop. Thos Robinson, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Blonde Ambition
Going outside of her usual repetoire of browns and reds, Tyra throws a straight blonde look on with a dark lip to match her brown cap. Lawrence Lucier, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Pony Up
Keeping it classic with a twist, Tyra gives a new nod to the ponytail with barrel curls pinned up and a wisp of hair on the side to keep it modern. A smoky eye finishes the chic-ness. Peter Kramer, Getty Images - Tyra Banks Hair Looks
Bangin'
Tyra always makes fun of her 'eight head' and this simple cut with bangs straight across her brow keeps it covered nicely. Frazer Harrison, Getty Images
