Beyonce shares snaps of her bold new pixie cut after ditching off her trademark long locks

Beyonce Knowles stunned fans on Wednesday as she unveiled a drastic new hairdo.
The superstar singer who is known for her trademark honey coloured tresses has finally ditched her long hair for an edgier short pixie crop.
To launch her new look the  31-year-old songstress posted pictures to her Instagram account showing pictures of herself gazing in the mirror.

What do you think? Beyonce shared a snapshot of her updated 'do after chopping off her long locks on Wednesday

The Crazy In Love singer can also be seen from behind feeling the back of her head where her long hair used to be.
Dressed in a short sleeve printed T-shirt and gilt choker, Beyonce shared another snap showing her pixie cut from the front - slightly combed back and parted the side, complete with dark roots.
Beyonce has been a diehard long weave wearer for years - and will no doubt have thought hard about taking this new direction.
Comparisons to Rihanna - who has wore the shorter look on and off for some years now - will be inevitable.
The Pour It Up singer has also recently unveiled her shorter natural hair after removing her weave.

Having regrets? The star posted another picture of herself apathetically looking in the mirror as she felt her new pixie cut

Beyonce has rarely sported anything other than big, bouffant looks in since blasting onto to the music scene with Destiny's Child.
Her wig collection was once estimated to be worth $1 million. Beyoncé’s wigs are mostly handcrafted and custom made for the star out of real human hair, and a single wig is reportedly worth $10,000 each.

But while it's unclear if her new look will last, the singer is donates her worn pieces to an organization that provides wigs for chemotherapy patients, so they should expect something of a bonanza shortly.

Artsy: Queen Bey posted another photo in black-and-white to portray an edgier vibe

Beyonce still had her long locks as she performed her last show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Monday.
Working up a sweat beforehand, she said:  'I biked to Barclays for my last show in Brooklyn!'
Sharing photos to prove she was truthful, the mega star made a collage showcasing her make-up free face hidden beneath a white trilby hat and aviator shades.

Before: The Bow Down singer was rocking long, thick curly locks

  

Knowles seamlessly blended in with the New York crowd while clad in a star-spangled T-shirt and denim cut-offs.
It was a refreshingly ordinary moment for Queen Bey, who has literally amassed a billion-dollar fortune with her husband Jay Z - who joined her for a bit on-stage Monday.
Beyonce - who also has a daughter Blue Ivy with Jay Z - will next take The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour to the UK's Hylands Park in Chelmsford on August 17.
Her fifth studio album hits shelves later this year, but she's already teased snippets from Bow Down/I Been On, Grown Woman (for a Pepsi advert), and Standing on the Sun (for a H&M advert).
The record is said to feature collaborations with Ne-Yo, Timbaland, Missy Elliott, The-Dream, Pharrell and Justin Timberlake.

Jeepers peepers! Helen Flanagan makes bold exit from hotel with dramatic turquoise eye shadow and tropical inspired trousers

She likes to turn heads when she steps out in public – usually with the help of a cleavage baring skintight dress.
And on Monday Helen Flanagan did it again but this time she found a rather novel way to be the centre of attention – with a blindingly bright ensemble. 
Looking as if she was off to an Eighties themed tropical party the 22-year-old plastered her lids in a turquoise eye-shadow while she swamped her frame in a loosing fitting pair of brightly patterned trousers.

Eye-catching: Helen Flanagan stepped out on Monday in Liverpool in an extremely bright ensemble

She wore her tropical-themed trousers high around her waist, with a blue vest top tucked in and a denim jacket with rolled up sleeves.
The loose and colourful trousers were a little on the long side and Helen was left lifting them up so she didn’t trip revealing her black strappy heels beneath.
It wasn’t just the trousers which turned heads, her eye make-up also made an impact – accentuated by the fact her hair was scraped off her face in a large bun. 

Blindingly bright: Helen piled on the bold eye shadow to brighten up the dull day

Clashing: Helen's bright trousers clashed with her small bag as well as eye shadow and top

And as if there wasn’t enough going on she carried a small handbag covered in red and pink roses which clashed with the print on her trousers.
The former Coronation Street actress was accompanied by her new best pal and Celebrity Super Spa co-star James Argent.
The TOWIE star showed he does have a gentlemanly side after all as he carried an umbrella beside her, almost going unnoticed in his all black T-shirt next to Helen’s colours.

What a gent: James Argent was seen holding an umbrella up for as they left their hotel to head to filming

Too long: Helen was forced to lift up her trousers as it looked as if she might trip due to their length

Laughs: As per usual Helen and Arg looked like they were getting along like a house on fire

Newly single Helen may have opted for the fun outfit to celebrate the beginning of what she described as her ‘birthday week’ on Twitter on Monday morning. 
The look was in stark contrast to how she appeared on Friday when she resumed filming of Mouse And Cat. 
Sharing pictures of herself on Twitter, she appeared make-up free and with what appeared to be black markings around her eyes. 

Back to acting: Helen shared a picture from the set of Mouse and Cat which she resumed filming last Friday

The thriller stars Helen as Sophia, a woman who fights back against her abusive uncle by locking him in a torture room.
The short film has been adapted from a short story by Ben Kalcher and is directed by Christopher Rogers.

There are worse jobs: Rihanna's bodyguard forced to babysit scantily clad star from midnight till 6AM as she dutty wines at Carnival

e tried to keep a low profile but it was hard to avoid seeing his hulking constant presence next to the scantily clad popstar as she gyrated away with abandon.
Solid as a rock and clearly focused on his job - Rihanna's bodyguard kept a close watch on the party animal as she 'dutty wined' her way around the Crop Over Festival Foreday Morning Jam in Barbados.

Dancer: She caused quite the stir as her bodyguards watched on

Down on all fours: Rihanna showed off her backless detail on her white and silver sheer leotard as she engaged in a floor dance on the street at The Foreday Morning Jam party

Party hard: Rihanna sported a typically revealing costume, distinctive sunglasses and a veil for carnival season in her native Barbados at a party on Saturday

  

While she is in her hometown, clearly the singer was taking no chances as she accompanied by two boydguards from midnight to 6am as she partied till daylight on Saturday morning in the island's capital Bridgetown.
In his checked summer shirt, with an earpiece connecting him to some distant control room, Rihanna's bodyguard had the arduous task of watching her party all night - drink in hand - rather raucously.
But let's face it, there are worst jobs.

Daylight: Rihanna parties during carnival season in her native Barbados. The Foreday Morning Jam party, which started at midnight and ended at 6am on Saturday

Catching a ride: Her other bodyguard took the strain as the night wore on

Flamboyant: All eyes were on her as she got involved while dressed in her quirky get-up

Party time: Rihanna threw her hands up in the air as she partied the night away with the locals

The 25-year-old singer looked typically striking in a nearly sheer white monokini, decorated with sparkling metallic panels.
Green face paint, blue and silver sunglasses, practical baseball boots and a white veil over her new short curly hairdo completed the look.
The star clutched a drink in one hand as she grinded behind several other partygoers at The Foreday Morning Jam party.
At one point, she also showed off the backless detail of her ensemble, getting down on all fours for a signature calypso 'wining' move.

He's behind you: Rihanna seemed on good form as she let her hair down in her native Barbados - but her bodyguard was behind her for every move

Up close: She seemed to get more involved and more merry as her night went on

Energetic: Rihanna showed off her moves as she got down and dirty with fellow carnival goers

The bash, which took place on the street, began at midnight and ended at 6am, with Rihanna seemingly in it for the long haul.
'Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in de street all morning!!! #Barbados #FOREDAYmorning CROP OVA almost here!' she wrote on her Twitter on Saturday after her night out.

However, there was time for recovery for the singer, who tweeted that she was back to work, taking part in a new cover shoot - 'Glam starts now,' she wrote.

Rihanna was showing off her new curly hair style, switching from a menagerie of long wigs she has been sporting on stage during her Diamonds tour.
The star is currently on a two-month break from her world tour after recently jetting back home to Los Angeles from Europe.
She will travel east next month for shows in Macau, Manila and Singapore.

Matching: She dressed the same as her girl pal as they made their way around the street party

Smiler: She looked ecstatic to be back with her best friends in her local neighbourhood

Pleased to meet you: Rihanna was taking part in the Foreday Morning Jam party, which started at midnight and ended at 6am on Saturday

It comes just after Rihanna narrowly avoided bumping into her ex Chris Brown#'s former flame Karrueche Tran while out partying once more in Hollywood.
The two women, both 25, narrowly missed an awkward encounter when they both went on a night out to Play House in Hollywood on Thursday night.
While it is unknown whether the pair had partied together inside, they both exited the venue separately.
Rihanna had snuck out the back entrance of the popular late night venue, while Karrueche departed with a male pal at the front, alongside other party goers.

Slim star: She showed off her slim physique in the minuscule outfit on Saturday night

Energetic: She didn't stop dancing all night long as she kicked off the annual festivities

Disco: She stuck her derriere out while wearing her veil and sequinned monokini

It is very unlikely that the pair had exchanged words inside after having both enjoyed romances with R&B singer Chris consecutively.
Karrueche is the last one to have picked up where Rihanna left off and is currently dating the bad boy star.
Chris and Karrueche sparked rumours of an official reconciliation in June when the pair cosied up for a picture together.
The photo showed Chris fondly placing his head on Karrueche's shoulder while she patted his shaved head.

Party tweet: Rihanna doesn't need an excuse to hit a party

Get this party started: The star wore practical baseball boots to help her dancing moves

Bare-faced chic: Jennifer Aniston, 44, uploads revealing make-up free photo

She has been busy promoting her new film We're The Millers which she stars in alongside Jason Sudeikis and Emma Roberts.
So Jennifer Aniston could be forgiven for letting standards slip in the wardrobe department.
But the 44-year-old actress showed no signs of fashion fatigue on Saturday when she sported not one but two outfits while attending press conferences in New York to promote her latest film.

Fresh faced: Jennifer Aniston proves she doesn't need make-up to look good as she appears fresh faced in a photo posted on Instagram by her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan

Ladylike: Jennifer stuck to the black theme for a more demure outfit which she wore to the second press conference later in the day in New York

  

Her first outfit was on the edgy side, with Jennifer showing off her perfectly toned pins in an all-black ensemble, which consisted of a racy leather mini-skirt and chic blazer.
The star accessorised with some bling in the form of a chunky gold chain necklace and black and gold spiky heels.
For her second outfit of the day, the 44-year-old actress again opted for her favourite colour - black - this time wearing an ankle length silk black dress which had a flowing skirt.

Demure with an edge: Her dress had sheer cut-out parts fitted around her chest which gave the demure look a sexy edge

Greeting her public: The rom com queen gave a hearty wave as she left her Soho hotel after the press run

She teamed the look with a fitted denim jacket and gold snakeskin wedges and carried a large black quilted handbag with gold chain detail straps, while clutching a black and white printed silk scarf.
While her second outfit was much more demure than the look she had gone for earlier in the day, it still had a subtly sexy edge to it as the top of the dress had cut-out sheer parts that were fitted over her chest.
It seems Jennifer had her beauty team around her helping her with the demands of the different looks as her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan posted a picture on Instagram of him posing with the star.

Ssssstylish: The actress accessorised her more casual look with summery and comfortable snakeskin wedges

Presumably the actress was between outfit changes as she looked make-up free and wore her hair in a loose ponytail with her glasses perched ontop of her head.
Jennifer's appearance on Saturday came two days after her stunning arrival at the New York premiere where she wore a plum satin Burberry strapless dress.
Although she walked the carpet solo, she was later spotted emerging from the film's afterparty with fiancé Justin Theroux.

Favourite hue: Jennifer rarely departs from more conservative colours, on Saturday teaming her ensemble with a chunky gold necklace

The couple have been engaged for a year, and Jennifer recently explained that they are in no rush to tie the knot.
She said: 'We just want to do it when it's perfect, and we're not rushed, and no one is rushing from a job or rushing to a job. We have yet to set any date.'

The movie is due to be released in the US on August 7 and the UK on August 23.
