You may recognize Shay Mitchell from her recent television and film roles, such as Velma, Something from Tiffany’s, and Dollface, but you may not know that she has been in the spotlight for more than a decade. During that time, she made many red-carpet appearances and had many noteworthy hairstyles.

Classic is the best term to describe Shay Mitchell’s hairstyles, such as her striking retro hairstyle at the “Barbie” world premiere, the fun and flirty curly updo from the REVOLVE Festival, and the formal textured ponytail showcased at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. But every so often, she likes to surprise us with something unexpected, like the fun and flirty wigs she has sported on a few occasions.

We have taken a look back at all of the actress’s appearances and chosen our favorite hairstyles.
