This month's Harper's Bazaar Magazine speculated that the pixie haircut may be a trend to emerge this summer. But how likely is it to happen? Michelle Williams recently cut her locks into this pixie do, as seen at the Indie Awards.

However, she has added hair extensions during the shoot of the film Incendiary in London but I think she really did pull off the pixie-cut look. The baton, for now will have to be passed to next-top-models, Agynes Deyn and Cecilia Mendez, two much-in-demand models who have a fan base. (Harper's Bazaar mentioned Agynes Deyn as a model creating buzz for this look) Actors and Performers lead trends more so than models now, compared to the the Supermodel era of the 1980's and 1990's and the person who popularized belly baring tops may get in on this possible trend also.

The site LaineyGossip.com has scoop that none other than Britney Spears is preparing for a photo shoot that features her clean cut new look. (You can see her new growth underneath the wig in the first photo) In any event, that's one photo editorial I'd like to see . Maybe she can pull it off - maybe as well as the others have since she is said to be tiny in person and is getting back into shape. A woman often critiqued for her fashion sense, and who likes faeries may be at the head of the pixie cut trend - if there is one. Only time will tell. But as the summer heats up, a cool hair style like this could be oh so freeing. (as usually the case, click on thumbs for full size pics)
