Star Wars features many unforgettable and eye-catching hairstyles for its characters, particularly its princesses. Leia Organa’s side buns and Padme Amidala’s decorative headdress stand out among them all as examples. Recreate this look easily with either box braids or bubble pigtails – and it’s an awesome way to show your Star Wars fandom!
Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars characters are famed for their eye-catching hairstyles – from Princess Leia’s buns to Padme Amidala’s decorative headdresses, they make for eye-catching characters in any universe! However, many iconic hairstyles from Star Wars characters contain deeper meaning and symbolism behind their appearances than just being stylish looks. Anakin Skywalker has long used his hair as an integral component of his character. From traditional Padawan braids to his signature long locks, his locks have symbolized his journey from promising Jedi Knight to powerful Sith Lord. Ewan McGregor has stood up in defense of his mullet from Attack of the Clones, noting its effective placement on him. Hayden Christensen also supported this haircut when LADbible played them an agreement-to-disagree game.
Qui-Gon Jinn
Qui-Gon stands out among Star Wars characters with beautiful locks due to his long black locks that were perfect for his role as Jedi Master. He always looked fashionable during all of his movie appearances. Anakin had a very different learning style to his Master; he was insecure and frequently sought approval, creating an unhealthy family dynamic between them both.
Rey
Rey is one of the most iconic characters from Star Wars. Her unique hairstyle was instantly recognizable – wearing three top knots with style was both fashionable and functional for her job as a scavenger. Princess Leia bun hairstyle is another trendy look you can easily recreate at home, perfect for anyone aspiring to channel their inner princess. Padme Amidala was known for sporting various hairstyles during her time in the prequel trilogy movies, but none more impressive than her crown braid hairdo which showed off her royal aesthetic.
Jyn Erso
Jyn Erso has quickly become a fan-favorite for her role in Rogue One. As the leader of an elite group of rebels fighting to capture Death Star plans from Scarif, Jyn plays an unforgettable character who fans have come to love. K-2SO is an unforgettable character who inspires young and old fans alike with his irrepressibly charming banter, perfect for her tough demeanor and rugged looks. Their back and forth banter endears her to both young and old fans alike.
Mace Windu
Mace Windu is an inspiring Jedi master with plenty of style. He often tucks his long locks into buns, while keeping short locks combed back. This look makes an excellent example for anyone aspiring to become an aesthetically-pleasing Jedi master. Rey is the central character in the new Star Wars films and can be seen sporting a range of hairstyles inspired by Qui-Gon Jinn – with many being inspired by him alone! One such look stands out. Ahsoka Tano-inspired braids feature box braids shaped like Twi’lek head tails for an eye-catching style that stands out.
Finn
Finn’s new haircut indicates that he may have finally achieved inner peace, and can choose his appearance without worry from now on. Additionally, its longer locks indicate he could be moving away from the First Order altogether. Star Wars Jedi Survivor offers hairstyles as cosmetic items that you can equip on Cal Kestis to alter his appearance, though some options are locked without an obvious way of unlocking them. Some hairstyles also provide additional perks that might make it worthwhile trying them.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi master who could use Force choke tactics and cut through enemies with ease. He donned a brown cape, hood, chrome silver hilt lightsaber with blue blade, as well as an orange hairpiece which gave him his distinctive appearance. Braids are an iconic look from Star Wars, appearing on many characters including Ahsoka Tano and Queen Amidala. You can achieve this style using box braids, bubble pigtails, or standard Dutch braids. Disney Plus’ new Obi-Wan Kenobi series stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as young and old versions of the character respectively, wearing longer hair in Attack of the Clones before shortening it for Revenge of the Sith.
