Alyssa Milano got a pixie cut: cute or looks like Kris Jenner?

Short hair don't care.

It seems like a lot of celebrity women especially are mixing up their hairstyles for the holidays. There’s the ever popular lob, and a few are going for more radical cuts. We just saw The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan cut her hair into a pixie, and now Alyssa Milano, 43, has gone for a more piecey pixie cut, similar to Anne Hathaway’s old ‘do or Kris Jenner’s current look. Alyssa posted the photo above to Instagram, with the caption “short hair don’t care.”

Some outlets are pointing out that she’s giving off Elizabeth Taylor vibes in the photo above. I think it’s the heavy makeup along with her expression. She looks like Liz with one of her knowing looks in a perfume commercial. No one gives face like Liz Taylor though, even in her last years.

People Magazine reminds us that Alyssa also rocked this look in the early 2000s when she was on Charmed. I’m around her age and that doesn’t seem like that long ago. I’m so glad these tiny eyebrows are no longer popular. They made us look manic.

I think Alyssa’s new cut will look better with toned down makeup. It was brave of her to chop off her hair and this looks good, but the makeup is throwing me off here. She looks too similar to Kris Jenner. Also I realize she could theoretically look like Kris Jenner and look cute, but that’s a long shot.

Here’s Alyssa’s hair before her radical change. I really like her with darker hair, I don’t think the lighter color suited her.

Also I checked Alyssa’s IMDB and she doesn’t have any acting projects listed or scheduled since leaving Mistresses last year, although she did make appearances on Project Runway All Stars and The Talk. I stopped watching Mistresses after she had her baby and left. It was trashy fun with her on, but it was a mess in the first couple of episodes this season and just wasn’t the same without her.

My glam squad, but most importantly, my sweet friends. I love you @scottpatric and @linhhair.

Kris Jenner because I’m feeling sadistic. At least Alyssa’s hair isn’t this messy.

    I think she looks great. It’s a good style for her.

    • JudyK says:

      She looks SO MUCH better with short hair, really pretty.

      So sick and tired of housewife hair…looks as plastic as they do.

  2. Betti says:

    The resemblance cannot be unseen but it suits her. Have never rally been a fan of hers, always found her irritating and fake, not to mention the rep she had of sleeping with her male Charmed co-stars. Didn’t she have relationships with Julian McMahon and Brian Krause?

    • Elizabeth says:

      It was Shannon Doherty who dated Julian McMahon.

    • Joaneu says:

      Alyssa had a fling with Brian Krause and I believe his marriage broke up as a result of it. Their relationship eventually ended and, if I’m not mistaken, there was talk that she got him fired from the show because things became “uncomfortable”.

      • Alex says:

        Really?! I mean he was on till the last episode but maybe that’s why he was missing for a few eps in the last season.

      • Luca76 says:

        He was on Charmed for years after so I doubt that. He was in only half of the last season but that was more because of budget issues.

    • SpunkyMama says:

      Wasn’t she a co-producer? So not hard to do, I would think, if she really wanted him gone.

      • Luca76 says:

        There just isn’t any truth to this they dated in the second and third season and he was let go in the second part of the ninth (along with a few other regulars) but returned for the final episode. I’m a Charmed expert lol.

      • Trixie says:

        Luca,

        You’re not as much of a Charmed expert as you think, they didn’t have a ninth season. They only had eight seasons.

  3. Elisabeth says:

    she looks cute…nothing like Kris Jenner. perhaps it’s the soul in her eyes that Jenner lacks

    • Little Darling says:

      I think it’s more like the 100 year old style of Lisa Rinna that Brandi mocked one time.

      She has a gorgeous face.

    • Santia says:

      Before I even read the write-up, I thought “Elizabeth Taylor.” I think it would nicer with more prominent highlights. Right now, it ages her, whether it be La Taylor or Lucifer’s homegirl.

    • Sabrine says:

      It’s cute. I like it. Why the comparison with Kris Jenner? They look nothing alike.

  4. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I kind of like it, and I don’t think she looks anything like Kris Jenner. For one thing, she looks much younger than Kris and her face is much prettier, and there are no horns or 666 tats on her head.

  5. Mimz says:

    I will forever have a soft spot for her, since her Charmed days and I was such a huge fan… She seems very sweet, very kind eyes.
    But I digress, I also didn’t like the heavy makeup, but i agree, dark hair suits her.
    She’s one beautiful woman.
    About Mistresses, yes the show took a hit with her departure, but they managed to keep it crazy and interesting, at least to me. But I did miss her most of the time.. her sister is kinda annoying (her sis on the show).

  6. Locke Lamora says:

    The haircut is nice, and it will look better with less intense makeup. I love a good pixie cut, if only I could pull one off.

    I watched all 4 seasons of Mistresses and while it’s trashy it’s also fun. Jennifer Esposito and Yunjin Kim are such pretty women, although Karen Kim’s storylines get weirder and weirder.
    The British original was better, though.

    • Mimz says:

      I know, Karen Kim’s stories are the weirdest ever. Everything happens to her. But they are stunning, actually I think Rochelle Aytes (April Malloy) is such a beautiful woman, I could stare at her for days. It is highly entertaining, I agree.

  7. Kerry says:

    Just watched her in “fear” and that was one the wildest things I’d ever seen.

  8. Tulsa says:

    Looks great on her, she has the bone structure to carry it off. Hate the make up in the first shot but love it with the softer lip. She does not resemble Kris in any form…..which I find to be an insult.

  9. Nunya says:

    Alyssa looks way better than Kris Jenner as she doesn’t have that manufactured look.

  10. Nancy says:

    She looks adorable. She doesn’t age. That old bat PMK only wishes she could look like Alyssa…same for her spawn. Alyssa has a natural beauty that hasn’t changed since Who’s The Boss?

  11. Erinn says:

    I’ve never really liked her in anything I’ve seen her in. She could be a lovely person, for all I know, but there’s something about her that just is off putting to me.

    Her hair IS like Kris Jenners – but she’s styled hers a bit neater. I think the short hair is cute on her, but I always though that the shoulder length was really nice.

  12. ojulia123 says:

    She’s one of those people who could do just about anything to her hair and still look beautiful.

  13. grabbyhands says:

    I guess if the goal was to age herself by 15 years, then well done you!

    Possibly it is a bad makeup/light combination that is making it look unflattering.

  14. Breakfast Margaritas says:

    She was one of those people who didn’t look her age, until now. The cut is okay but now she looks closer to 50 than 39.

  15. frankly says:

    I wonder if she had to cut it because Wen damaged her hair – the timing is right on with the lawsuits.

  16. Jayna says:

    I don’t consider that a pixie cut, a short cut, very long on top and sides and long bangs. She looks good.

    When she got that pixie cut years ago, the very short on top and sides and very short bangs I wasn’t a fan.

  17. Jen43 says:

    I think she looks great. And, yes, a bit like Kris Jenner, but Kris is very prettty even though she is in bed with Satan.

    • Mimz says:

      I agree too.. very unpopular opinion but the lady is beautiful, beautiful (tweaked) features, but she’s in great (tweaked) shape. But I think her original self was also pretty to begin with. And she made some beautiful kids too, even if they are super tweaked.

  18. Hadleyb says:

    I must be the only one I think she looks awful. She looks 10 years older and the heavy handed makeup is doing her no favors.

  19. snowflake says:

    Looks cute on her! Wish I could pull off a short cut!

  20. lisa says:

    she looks older and harder like she is auditioning for a real housewife show

  21. Elisa the I. says:

    That’s not a good look, it really ages her. IMO she looked better with the long blond hair.

  22. Alyssa’s hair got too thin to wear it long, you can see her scalp.

  23. FingerBinger says:

    She looks like Gloria Allred. She just needs highlights. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ba/d5/21/bad521206901a3c438dbddaa5258b8b5.jpg

  24. Snflwr0918 says:

    I wonder if the pixie cut has anything to do with the Wen (she’s a spokesman) class action lawsuit. Hmmm…

    • Celebitchy says:

      Damn I didn’t know she was a spokesperson for Wen. I’m so glad I never used that.

      • Kitten says:

        I’ve never used them either but I’m very curious as to what could cause such severe hair loss. I mean, exactly WHAT kind of chemicals could a shampoo contain that would do that? Anybody have any info?

        I use only sulfate-free stuff myself, but it’s hard for me to imagine something that is essentially just soap being so harsh that it would make your hair fall out….

      • Eden75 says:

        Could be a reaction that some people are having to the ingredients.

        I never understood why people buy a “celebrity (insert profession here)” product. Chaz maybe a hair dresser to the stars but the man is not a chemist. What does he know about creating a product? Sweet pi$$ all.

      • Vic says:

        Wen doesn’t cleanse the hair, it’s like washing your hair with lotion. which means clogged hair follicles. She probably got the haircut to hide the balding from using WEN. I don’t like the cut at all. Totally ages her.

      • Snappyfish says:

        Went to Westminster Dog show in February 2015 & saw WEN for dogs. Was interested & went to ask about it. Was told by the sales person it was originally for dogs!!

        Oh & my grandmother used to say “the thinner the eyebrow the crazier the woman”…think about it!

        Happy holidays all!!

      • lisa says:

        i’ve used wen for years, so has my mom

        i havent had any problems. i’ll continue to use it. my hair became much healthier with it.

      • Breakfast Margaritas says:

        Hasn’t she had a baby a few months ago? Pregnancy hormones give you glorious hair for 9 months then you watch it all shed…tearfully.

    • tealily says:

      Oh yeah! I forgot about that.

    • Alyce says:

      @kitten I read that it was blocking peoples pores and that in turn caused the hair loss. It didn’t burn off the hair or anything. That’s how I understood it anyway, though I could be wrong!

  25. tealily says:

    She looks totally unlike herself in that top photo, but I really like it in the lower one. She is gorgeous and I love short hair on her. Gah, maybe I need to chop mine again!

  26. benchwarmer says:

    Yes to the hair. I like her hair and Kris Jenner’s hair, they’re examples of cool looking short hair do’s. No to the heavy makeup, heavy lip and heavy eye and visible blush and darkened brows. Stop masking a beautiful face with way too much makeup. It makes people look older and dated to wear all that stuff.

  27. saras says:

    I agree that it ages her and bad for Wen buisness due to the lawsuit.

  28. kri says:

    That hair looks awful. The cut is all wrong. I love a good pixie, but that ain’t good, m’dear. Also, is her face just changed cause of makeup? I hope so. or that is some bad work.

  29. Karen says:

    I prefer her old pixie. That throwback pic doesn’t do the old cut justice. Hate the shaggy front and choppy cut off this one.

    And the colorist, oof, hates her. It’s black, brown and blonde chunky sections.

  30. Wren33 says:

    I thought it was Kris Jenner when scrolling down the homepage, so yeah…..

  31. Tifygodess24 says:

    She just aged herself by atleast 10 years. Look at how much younger and softer she looked with longer hair. Not a good look.

  32. lile says:

    She looks ADORABLE and not at all like PMK. Great style for Alyssa.

  33. Bridget says:

    I hate this particular haircut, but in general Alyssa is so lovely she can get away with a short do.

  34. word says:

    She also had a similar cut during the final season of Who’s the Boss.

  35. db says:

    too long. I think baby bangs might look work on her

  36. serena says:

    She’s so beautiful any hairstyle would suit her!

  37. Byte Me says:

    I love this new short style on her, big improvement and WAY cuter that KJ.

  38. iheartgossip says:

    PMK WISHES she looked this good. Sorry, no. And the Kard’s don’t need to be in every post, do they?

  39. katie says:

    Nothing like PMKs. What an insult to a beautiful woman.
    PMK can’t even smile without her nose disappearing because she’s pulled so tight!!

  40. EM says:

    She looks more like Lisa Rinna, but with deflated lips.

  41. Sara says:

    Is it just me or does that last photo of Alyssa Milano look as though her hair is thinning considerably on the upper right side of the pic? Not nit picking I just hope nothing is wrong with her hair and that’s why she cut it. She’s got a great face and can definitely pull it off. Might just be a bad photo.
