It's true, you don't have to be a mom of young children to rock an angled bob or pixie cut. It's just a happy coincidence that these carefree styles happen to pair well with a hasty comb-out, a random splattering of spit-up, and a couple days' accumulation of natural oils.

Many celebs, including star mamas like Olivia Wilde, have been going for shorter styles -- and not just after unfortunate chewing gum accidents. And, while we don't know what prompted Selena Gomez to make the cut, she is the latest star who recently majorly chopped her long dark hair for a messy chin-length look that is totally cool.

These cute cropped looks are easy to maintain, perfect for spring, and range from sweet to seriously sexy. Lucky for us, there are plenty of great cuts trending right now worth trying out.

Get ready to put your ears on show, ladies!

Kristen Stewart

KStew shocked fans when she buzzed off her hair and went for a bleached, barely-there 'do. This "I'm making a statement" look could be the answer to simplifying busy mornings ... but on the flip side, growing it out likely won't be a piece of cake, so make sure you're committed.

A dark-rooted undercut paired with a long blond flip looks ultra modern and très cool on avid wig-wearer Katy Perry. It might be a look that's a tad on the extreme side for the everyday gal, but you've got to agree it's got major moxie!

Bobs might be commonplace, but as Kerry Washington proves, they don't have to be ordinary. She rocked the long bob (aka "lob") on the red carpet for the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Blunt ends on this sleek bob make for a fresh take on the classic -- we love this look!

Selena Gomez is the most followed individual on Instagram -- and it's no surprise as to why. The pop singer shares glimpses of her personal life through selfies and behind-the-scenes pics, including this shot of her brand new spring-ready haircut. We love her carefree look (one we certainly have rocked ourselves -- albeit not quite so on-purpose, and not so flawlessly!).

Raise a glass to Viola Davis -- the talented actress was recognized for her brilliant work in Fences at this year's Academy Awards with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She also happened to be rocking the cutest bob with black and brown dimensional highlights, swept sweetly over her eyes. A showstopper, indeed.

When Sarah Paulson debuted her new, reddish-brown-hued hair at the 2017 SAG awards, the speculation was that she found hair inspiration from her character in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Marcia Clark. We can't confirm if that's true -- but we can confirm a sleek, side-parted bob is on trend in any color.
