Outside of her acting fame, Dakota has gained a reputation for her hair and her bangs can take all the credit. Whether she's on the red carpet for a film premiere, attending the Academy Awards, or on the sidewalk, Johnson's hair steals the show. Most recently, her fringe is styled with a centre-part and her naturally straight hair is left loose.

However, over the years she's swayed between wavy and straight hair and played around with the length. Dakota's cultivated a signature look whilst also keeping it fresh and updated. The versatility of her hair is the best part - she's rocked her signature curtain fringe, edgy bobs and sleek up do's while maintaining her essential style. But her fringe is the common denominator - it's her thing and she's sticking with it.

Here are all the different hairstyles and colours she’s worn over her many years in the spotlight.

JANUARY 2013

Before she became renowned for her long, brown hair, Dakota was a blonde. Back in 2013, she wore her hair with loose curls and a long fringe.

SEPTEMBER 2015

She dramatically switched up her hair in 2015, opting for a full fringe and subtle blonde highlights. This straight, sophisticated bob made its debut while Dakota was attending a photo call at the Venice Film Festival while promoting her film, Black Mass.

SEPTEMBER 2015

For another event at the Venice Film Festival, Dakota swapped her straight bob for cork screw curls. Her look for the evening was rock-chic with a texturised bob and matched with smoky eye makeup. Sandy from Grease vibes, anyone?

SEPTEMBER 2015

Within the same month, Dakota managed to pull off three dramatically different looks. Channelling serious Audrey Hepburn vibes, here Dakota's bangs have been pushed to the side and her short locks are pinned back in a sleek bun.

NOVEMBER 2015

Dakota wore her hair in a styled pony with a swept fringe for the LACMA 2015 Art+Film Gala.

JANUARY 2016

At the 2016 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles, Dakota went for a glossy lob with choppy ends and natural waves. The loose flyaways give her hair a more relaxed, romantic look.

AUGUST 2016

Here, Dakota has opted for a subtle double swept fringe and tied back locks with loose strands.

FEBRUARY 2017

For the premiere of Fifty Shades Darker, Dakota went for darker hair colour to match the tone of the film. Her hair was styled in a thick, long braid with a mix of small and big knots filling out the plait. Her hair had plenty of texture in the back and a parted fringe to balance it out.

FEBRUARY 2017

At the UK premiere of her film Fifty Shades Darker, her hair was styled in a simple, practical up-do. Dakota without her fringe is a rare sight, but this pinned-back, carefree top knot is a timeless look.

FEBRUARY 2017

Dakota's look for the 2017 Academy Awards was an elegant half-up, half-down. With her fringe pinned back again, her hair takes a step back so the the collar of her gown can shine.

SEPTEMBER 2017

On the red carpet during Milan Fashion Week in 2017, Dakota was almost unrecognisable with darker hair and a side swept fringe.

NOVEMBER 2017

Dakota's hair was styled in an old-school chic up-do with a wavy side fringe at the 2017 LACMA Art + Film gala in Los Angeles.

NOVEMBER 2017

For the 21st Annual Hollywood Film Awards, she wore her hair in loose waves and pushed her fringe back.

JANUARY 2018

Dakota brought back her signature fringe back for the Academy Awards, with her hair coloured a ligher brown than in recent years. Her bangs were paired with a textured ponytail, filled out with kinks and blonde highlights.
