China’s youth may not use the same social network platforms that we enjoy in the West, but that doesn’t mean Chinese teens haven’t been able to make their mark on the web.

A new dessert has hit the streets of Chongqing and Chengdu, large cities in southwest China, and the youth are queuing down the streets to get their hands on a tasty flavor combination: vanilla soft serve ice cream topped with a spicy Sichuan chile oil.

Jenny Gao, a chef raised in the West but born in Chengdu, told Food & Wine that the newest craze “first hit the Chinese internet around July 20th.”

“I found it through an article on WeChat about a store in Chongqing that was serving it. The idea then spread to some shops in Chengdu. There was also a TV segment where China Daily interviewed some people from Sichuan about the idea, and they were all, ‘yup, this is totally up our alley. We ‘stan this.'”

That’s no surprise, seeing as Sichuan Province is famous for its spiciness. Chendu is located in Sichuan Province, while Chongqing is located in the next province over and is also greatly influenced by Sichuan cooking. Southwest Chinese province is perhaps most famous for its distinct cuisine, which is characterized by a uniquely tongue-numbing spiciness. This is due to the Sichuan pepper.

Despite its going viral in China — and possibly the rest of the world soon — as a culinary trend this does not seem to have caught on outside of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Chef Gao, on the other hand, is completely behind the combination. She’s planning on serving the sweet and spicy treat on December 1 in Urban Outfitters, Los Angeles. For what occasion, you ask? The release of her own line of Sichuan-style chili crisp oil, which will combine dried chilis, Sichuan peppers, ginger, garlic, dried mushrooms, kombu, and spices.

Up until the 1920s, it was simply unheard of for a woman to have any hairstyle other than long, untouched tresses. Fast forward to the 21st century, and more women than ever are making the chop. Here are 25 stunning celebrities who showcase just how fabulous the Audrey Hepburn look can be!

Kate Hudson only recently went for the chop, and in our opinion, she has never looked chicer. While the daughter of Goldie Hawn had always emulated her mom by keeping her wavy blonde tresses as one of her hallmark features, she had to get a buzz cut in 2018 for a movie role. She’s been rocking the growing-out stages ever since, including this ombre textured pixie cut that is enormously flattering to her face and brings attention to her mesmerizing green eyes.

Ever since Jennifer Lawrence burst onto the scene with her debut in The Hunger Games, this sultry star has become a fan favorite. She may be an incredibly talented actress, but her goofy, down-to-earth persona also makes her extremely relatable. In real life, “J-Law” seems unafraid to make a fool of herself and never takes herself that seriously, making her all the more lovable. The edgy haircut she’s been sporting for the past couple of years looks fabulous on her, no matter how she styles it.

Anne Hathaway’s beauty is somehow classic and unusual at the same time. She sported minimally-different versions of the same long, brown lustrous locks for many, many years, so it was a shock to everyone when she took the plunge and cut it all off. The result is that Anne looks more radiant than ever, as her elegant, classic pixie cut has just highlighted her lovely features and her megawatt smile. She’s definitely channeling Audrey Hepburn and fans are loving it!

Charlize Theron is a classic beauty who loves playing strong female characters. Since she famously shaved her head – by herself! – for her role in Mad Max back in 2012, Charlize has really embraced the crop and has worn it in all sorts of ways. Recently, she has been spotted with a new, ultra-modern ’90s-inspired bowl cut – a famously hard haircut to pull off and not look like an awkward teenage member of a boy-band. But if anyone can do it and look super elegant in the process, it’s this superstar!

Singer and entrepreneur Rihanna is the ultimate fashion chameleon and is not afraid to experiment with her looks. This Caribbean beauty has made some wild fashion statements in her time, and that is not limited to clothes – her hair has been pretty much every length, style, and color under the sun. We are loving this cute pixie cut that compliments Rihanna’s sultry eyes and dainty features. While the ever-transforming style icon surely won’t keep it for long, this haircut is a win!

One of Hollywood’s most striking natural beauties, Keira Knightley has doubtless been the object of infinite celebrity crushes since Pirates of the Carribean propelled her to stardom. This British beauty rocked a girl-next-door look for many years before she took the plunge and wowed us with this shaggy, honey-hued pixie crop. Unsurprisingly, this ‘do has become one of the most-copied celeb hairstyles out there, as it perfectly showcases Knightley’s amazing bone structure and enviable pout.

Beyoncé Knowles Carter is, without a shadow of a doubt, a powerful lady and cultural icon. As her music career has evolved, she’s become more and more outspoken about women’s empowerment, and her short-lived short haircut was definitely a statement. If anyone could rock barely-there hair, it’s this stunning lady; taking a break from maintaining her giant mane of tresses probably gave her more time to focus on her music career and being a busy mom and entrepreneur. We hope she goes back to rocking a pixie one day!

This stunning actress has been through a lot in the last decade. As the ex-wife of megastar and Scientologist Tom Cruise, Katie went through a transformation inside and out with the breakup of her marriage and the controversy surrounding it. It looks like she’s finally come out the other side, and her fresh short haircut sends the message that she is a free, empowered woman who can handle anything. We love both the casual windswept version and slicked into glammed-up finger waves.

Many would say Natalie Portman is synonymous with natural beauty. When the talented actress played a freedom fighter in V for Vendetta in 2006, she shaved her head to better portray the strong, fearless female character. But instead of rushing to grow her hair back out, Portman took her time and embraced a closely cropped pixie cut that highlights all her best features. She may be sporting a trendy blunt bob these days, but we think the super-short hair suited her best.

Model, entrepreneur and TV host Tyra Banks has a bold and outspoken personality, so an edgy, choppy cropped hairstyle definitely suits her. But it took her a long time to try out the daring hairstyle that she so admired. When she finally took the plunge back in 2015, the photos she posted on her Instagram page – along with the caption “Mom, I finally did it!” – earned over 100,000 likes. You can add one more “like” to that: we love how the piece-y golden style showcases her stunning hazel eyes.

This child star of the Harry Potter movie series chopped her hair off when the series was finished filming. Predictably, the media went mad. “I didn’t get to experiment with dyeing and chopping off my hair like most teenagers,” she said in an interview. “I’d been on Harry Potter for ten years so I needed to mark the end of it in some way. I needed a drastic change and that’s what the crop was all about.” She confessed in another interview, “It’s the sexiest I’ve ever felt.”

Kay Perry is one pop star who’s never been afraid to change her look drastically. In fact, she’s had her hair in so many different lengths, shapes, and colors that we would dedicate a whole article to her hair alone! However, when she went ultra-short and white blonde back in 2017, fans were all extremely impressed, as a short choppy ‘do always gives the impression of a powerful woman who’s not afraid to depart from conventional beauty norms. That having been said, Perry will always look stunning, no matter what.

Kristin has come a very long way since she starred in the Twilight series as a young adult. Ever since she came out of the shadow of her relationship with co-star Robert Pattinson, Stewart has been experimenting in all kinds of new ways. The actress has been blessed with gorgeously delicate features, and it seems that eventually, she realized that her face was calling for a short cut. The result looks absolutely stunning, making her beautiful green eyes the center of attention.

This actress has rarely been seen in anything except a pixie cut since 2007. But as she revealed in an interview, there’s a good reason for that: growing out a short cut is really hard! “I think I’m ready. It’s on its way, slowly but surely,” she told E! Magazine. “That’s why I’ve stayed with short hair for so long. The mid-stage is insufferable.” Even though she may be getting tired of her cute cropped look, we think it’s the most flattering look for her face!

This petite beauty is relatively new on the celeb scene; she was practically unknown before taking on the role of Daenerys Targaryen on the hit TV show Game of Thrones. Her trademark elaborately-braided, ice-blonde wig became so closely associated with the actress that it surprised many people to find out that actually, she was naturally a brunette. Now that the series is over, Clarke marked a fresh start in her acting career with this sexy disheveled cropped hairstyle.

While these photos are clearly a blast from the past, we would feel remiss if we left out this iconic actress from the list. As one of the original celebs to make a cropped ‘do a popular trend in her generation, Winona Ryder was the perfect candidate for this haircut, which highlights her sparkling eyes and lovely jawline. She made the pixie cut a popular ’90s trend, and although she now sports a more traditional shoulder-length cut, she’s surely proud to see so many actresses follow her lead decades later.

Zendaya might be one of the newest actresses on the block, but she is quickly gaining lots of attention for her natural beauty and incredible acting talent. The former Disney channel kid now stars in the edgy teen series Euphoria, and she’s been owning the red carpet with her spot-on fashion statements and equally stand-out hair. Zendaya is not afraid to make a statement – from sporting long dreadlocks with a red-carpet gown to her new edgy blonde crop, Zendaya’s look is always on point.

The Big Bang Theory star loves to change up her hair, rocking different lengths and colors all the time. “Just blink and it might be blue or something,” the actress recently said in an interview. “I always do something stupid to it. It’s hair! It grows back.” Even though as a celebrity she is always in the public eye, it’s refreshing to hear that she has such a laid-back attitude to hair experimentation. Of course, it’s much easier when you can afford to get your hair styled professionally all the time!

Although this stunning Oscar-winning actress has been in the public eye for over 30 years, it somehow seems like she hasn’t aged a day. The stunning, eternally young Berry was another original short-haircut queen back in the ’90s, making it one of the most popular hairstyles among African-American women. Although she has experimented with all kinds of styles since she first debuted her short cut, we think the pixie is still her most iconic hairstyle of all.

We’ve watched Miley Cyrus grow up before our very eyes. To say the former Disney Channel star has evolved would be an understatement; she seems to get a kick out of changing her public persona every time the wind blows. If you know anything about Cyrus, it won’t come as any surprise to know that she’s chopped off all her hair and styled it in a variety of funky ways. Her short blonde pixie looks equally chic whether whispy and demure or with a slicked-back, rock’n’roll edge.

Shailene Woodley had the haircut heard ’round the world when she had to lop off her locks for her role in The Fault in Our Stars. The young actress was committed to authenticity, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t sad to see her long hair go. But she decided to make the best of it by donating her hair to Children With Hair Loss, a charitable organization that collects hair to make wigs for kids who’ve lost their hair due to various conditions and encouraged fans of the film to follow suit.

Dancing With the Stars champ Julianne Hough was an unlikely candidate for a short pixie cut. Everyone’s definitely used to seeing the actress with relatively conservative chin-length or longer blonde tresses, so she really gave people a surprise when she showed up in 2014 with this ultra-short ‘do. We think she looked more gorgeous than ever, and proved the point that when you have a stunning face, a magnetic gaze, and a dancer’s physique, long hair is sometimes just a distraction.

The child of rocker Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, this fresh young Hollywood star is no stranger to fame, good looks, and talent. Up until recently, Kravitz sported long braids that were similar to her mother’s iconic style, but now the actress has broken out of her shell with a bold, closely cropped platinum blonde hairstyle. She admitted in an interview that she had been “hiding behind” her long hair and now that she’s cut it short, she has been able to access a “different part of her femininity”.

As a busy model and actress, Cara Delevingne is quite used to changing her looks drastically. But when she had to get a buzz cut for her role in a movie, she really learned a thing or two. “I feel like I definitely was more aware that you could pretty much hide behind your hair, but it was really liberating to realize that you don’t need hair to be beautiful and to feel like a woman.” If that’s not the best reason of all to chop it all off, what is?

This screen siren has a stunningly beautiful face that can carry anything off. She always manages to make her crop look ultra-feminine with soft blonde highlights and plenty of accessories.

After a 10-month break from social media, actress Hayden Panettiere debuted a dramatic pixie cut as she returned to Twitter. This isn’t the first time Hayden has rocked a short hair-cut – Kirby Reed, her character in Scream 4, also had very short hair. Panettiere was longing for a radical change for a while, but her work commitments prevented her from doing so. The length of her hair isn’t the only change she made – her hairstylist added that her hair was silver, a contrast from her long blond locks.
