A majorly dramz change, yes, but way too harsh for usually-blonde Robbie. And those brows are giving us the willies.

Jessica Biel, 200711 of 25

Jessica Biel, 2007

This was 8 years ago and yet Jess looks older than she does NOW. Dry, moussey hair > ageing, bbz.

Remember the kerfuffle Jules' cornrows caused back in the 90s? We're feelin' them now. But not for the Oscars.

Jennifer Lawrence, 201421 of 25

A corkscrew perm fringe? Nah. Nope. Never.
