Reese Witherspoon with Flippy Choppy Hair in Sweet Home Alabama

Occasionally--very occasionally--we see an inspired movie hairstyle that transcends the silver screen and is actually worth copying.

Reese Witherspoon provided us one such example in 2003 with her hit romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama.

Reese played the character of Melanie Carmichael, a New York fashion designer originally from the South (Alabama). And, as you would expect of a fashion designer, she had a cool, stylish haircut.

Mandy Moore's short cut was spotlighted one more time, although it hasn't changed much in recent months or years. (She's one of the more daring teen actresses willing to cut her hair short and keep it short.)

Lisa Rinna is back on the cover of a hairstyles magazine; the only difference is she now has a piecey fringe (although it's only two pieces).

Jaime Pressly's chin-length bob is a radical new look for her, but it's ultra-low maintenance.

Julia Stiles grew out her hair a little; instead of a chin-length bob, she now has a short version of The Rachel; or you could call it a "shoulder-length bob," a short- to medium-length haircut that gently frames her face.

Sharon Stone, a short hair model for many years, now has a new style that is sassy and still layered but with much more volume than before. She wore this hairstyle for an evening look.

Halle Berry's short haircut makes an encore appearance for the women of color with thick hair seeking hairstyling ideas.

Catherine Bell looks cuter than she ever has in a short hair cut with sweet waves; it's even shorter than chin-length.

SH mag shared its opinion on what its beauty editors believed were Hollywood's 10 sassiest new hairstyles.

We saw the results of the latest long-to-short hair makeovers, including the new looks of Rebecca Romijn, Samaire Armstrong, and Charisma Carpenter.

Finally, for those women interested, or who think men might care about how their hair looks, SH revealed the male point of view for the top five ladies' hairstyles.
