We always knew that Zendaya was something of a beauty trailblazer, but it was not until last night at the 2016 Grammy Awards that we realized the full extent of her mettle. A David Bowie–inspired mullet? On the red carpet? On a 19-year-old Disney protege? Consider headlines made.
It’s true: David Bowie, alongside fellow ’70s mainstays like Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney, brought the mullet from the backwoods to the mainstream four decades ago, but they weren’t the first nor the last to make a “look” out of the “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle. The mullet can never truly go out of style because it’s never in style. How’s that for a look with lasting power?
With that in mind, we dug deep into the recesses of our celebrity-minded brains to round up 15 iconic celebrity mullets—some we’ll always remember (Rihanna!), and others we (and they) wish we could forget. We also ranked them from best to worst, because, you know, mullets.
