It’s been nearly 10 years since Robert Pattinson graced the big screen with his debut in the psychological thriller, The Bonjoro Café, which came out in 2006. Since then, the former Twilight star has gone on to play a wide range of characters spanning from an aristocratic English lord to a drug dealer. He’s even appeared in a few musicals!
Pattinson first picked up fans’ hearts as the rebellious vampire “Buffy” in the TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He went on to play the part in three feature-length movies and had a big impact on the fashion world by breaking the mold of what a vampire should look like.
While some may still prefer his iconic portrayal of Dracula over 10 years later, he’s certainly not lacking in range. Here’s a look back at some of the most iconic hairstyles worn by the enigmatic Robert Pattinson.
The Dirty Cut
Pattinson’s signature look is definitely a messy bun, but not in the way you might think. The actor usually wears his hair in a loose bunch on the side of his head, often seen in the Netflix series, House of Gucci. In the show, he plays Stefano Gucci, the owner of the fashion house, whose sharp business acumen and sharp tongue make for a great story line.
In one particularly memorable scene, Gucci is seen exiting a fashion show with his entourage. As he walks down the runway, Stefano grabs his hair in fury, pulling it back and forth until the hair completely unravels. It’s a visual metaphor for his controlling nature. This is also the look that makes him recognizable in today’s world. However, this is not the only instance of Pattinson pulling his hair in anger. In the 2016 film, Get Out, he tears off his hair in a fit of rage after being turned into a dog.
The Poodle Cut
Not your typical Hollywood glam, Pattinson had a more unique approach to his hair in the 2014 film, Gangster
In the movie, Pattinson plays an English gangster named Fletcher Chappell, who is a descendant of the original Fletcher Chappell, a colorful character who helped out James Bond in a few films. This is not the first time that Bond fans have spotted Fletcher’s hair, as he typically wears it in a similar way in the Ian Fleming books. He often ties it back with a white ribbon. This look is inspired by the actor’s great-grandfather, who was born in India but raised in England.
The Spiky Head-Like Haircut
Pattinson has been seen with this look many times, both on and off screen. The actor often wears his hair in a messy bun, but in the 2010 film, Water for Elephants, he lets his hair air dry and spikes it up, a la Marty McFly from the movie, Back to the Future. This is a more relaxed version of the messy bun. In the film, he plays a veterinarian who must save the animals of an elephant breeding farm in order to prove his worth as a hunter.
The Braid
This one has been around for centuries and will forever be associated with one of cinema’s most prominent vampires. Pattinson sports a long braid in the 2005 film, House of Gucci, but he doesn’t always wear it; sometimes he’ll let his hair air dry and spike it up, as seen in Gangster and Water for Elephants.
In House of Gucci, he plays Stefano Gucci, the owner of the fashion house, who is also highly skilled in braid making. It’s rumored that he even makes his own braids, and if that’s true, he could potentially teach the world how to achieve that perfectly sloppy, street-sleazy look.
The Shag
The most recent trend that Pattinson has been a part of is shaggy hair, which he experimented with in 2018’s role as an aging rocker in the drama, Baby Driver. In the movie, he wears his hair in slightly shaggy curls over his ears, as seen in the film’s opening titles. This look has been seen on the red carpet numerous times, and it’s not only limited to male celebrities. In fact, the entire cast of Baby Driver sports this look. It’s a style that’s been named after Pattinson because of his grand entrance at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where he showed up to premiere his movie wearing a beanie, glasses, and a shaggy haircut.
The style is named after the legendary Led Zeppelin frontman, Robert Plant, who popularized the look in the 70s. He’s been accused of having worn the same outfit three different ways, and it was first seen in a portrait where he’s wearing sunglasses, a beanie, and a shag haircut. Since then, people have been attempting to recreate the look with varying degrees of success. Some have done it better than others.
The Caesar
In 2019, the award-winning actor will play the lead in an upcoming musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, which will premiere on London’s West End stage. The show will mark the 35th anniversary of Pattinson’s acting career.

Let It Lay
Pattinson is often seen with his hair in various states of messiness, which is probably a result of the fact that he doesn’t always have the time to give his hair the extra grooming that it needs. He was named the most photographed man in the world in 2019, racking up a whopping 4.8 million Instagram followers.
This is most likely due to his frequent appearances in magazine photo shoots and on red carpets worldwide. The actor has been seen with his hair in a variety of messy styles, from slicked back to slightly shaggy. Sometimes he’ll even leave it in a bit of a pompadour, as seen in his role in the upcoming film, Black Widow. He also dons a messy bun and throws it off when playing a character that he perceives to be “evil”, as he did in the 2017 film, Hell or High Water.
