Oscar-winner Natalie Portman has taken on so many iconic roles with signature looks (think Jackie Kennedy in Jackie and Princess Amidala in the Star Wars saga) that it's quick to forget that she's had her own look for decades. While she's most known for her shoulder-length bob, Portman went short for 2005's V for Vendetta and she wasn't immune to the '00s obsession with side-swept bangs and beachy waves.

Here are the highlights (honey-blonde, of course) of styles from Portman's history, from a flapper-inspired turn on the red carpet to her signature style.
