Selena Gomez is basically never not busy. When she’s not throwing bachelorette parties and giving emotional wedding speeches, she’s out promoting her latest projects, like her Coach collaboration. She also hit up the Cannes Film Festival and made a surprise performance appearance at Coachella—and the year’s only half over.Basically we’ve been blessed with over a decade of Sel—and her ever-evolving hairstyles. This is a woman who doesn’t know the phrase awkward teen years—she’s never had a single bad-hair day as far as we can tell. In honor of her twenty-seventh birthday, we’re taking a look back at the past 12 years of nothing but gorgeousness. Side-swoop bangs of the aughts included.
2007 Straightened, layered, with side bangs—Selena had the cut so many of us failed at achieving back in the mid-aughts.
2008 Corkscrew curls: always a classic.
2008 When you think of Selena in Wizards of Waverley Place, this is the look. Red highlights and all.
2008 A chic look at any age, but it kind of hurts how much cooler she was than us at 15.
2008 Blunt bangs, baby! Selena really wore this look so well. 2009 This adorable bob with just a few highlights inspired tons of girls to make the chop.
2009 Side-swoop bangs, still going strong. This time with extra help from extensions.
