6. Miley Cyrus – Cutting It Off
Miley Cyrus, talented daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, grew up before our eyes. She was THE Disney star, launching her brand as Hannah Montana. But as Miley started to grow up, she didn’t want to be the young girl on the Disney Channel anymore. She wanted to grow up and out of her persona and she started to let her true personality shine. Miley is a free-spirit hell-bent on shocking everyone. Coming from the girl-next-door image on Disney, Miley began to choose a different path for herself as she emerged as both an acting and singing sensation. And in 2013, Miley shocked the entire world with a Twitter post featuring a new haircut she concocted with her hairstylist, Chris McMillan. The long flowing Hannah Montana hair was all done as Miley Cyrus officially broke free of her Disney-created persona and became a carefree singer. Miley cut off all her hair and emerged with a choppy platinum pixie cut. She Tweeted, “Never felt more me in my whole life.” We can certainly respect that. Miley then followed that up with years of half-naked (or completely naked) photos of herself just in case we didn’t get the memo that she doesn’t want to be called Hannah Montana anymore. Miley continues to send picture after picture online, many of which feature a tongue wag for enjoyment. Go on with your bad self, Miley. Who are we to judge?
