The best part: her hair stylist Riawna Capri took to Instagram to dub her new do the “nob” AKA the Nina-bob. 03 of 27 When She Went Sleek And Straight Todd Williamson/WireImage Dobrev's more of a textured and wavy-haired kind of gal, but seeing her with this shoulder-length pinstraight 'do makes us want to see her stylist pick up the flat iron more often. 04 of 27 When She Winged It Out Nina Dobrev. Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Nina's dramatic skinny winged liner was a major moment at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The best part: her makeup artist Spencer Barnes dragged the onyx liner two thirds of the way along her bottom lash line for a super cat-like effect. 05 of 27 When She Matched Her Lipstick to Her Dress Steve Granitz/WireImage Wearing the same makeup shade as your outfit has become a thing in Hollywood recently, but Nina jumped on this trend early. Here, at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, the orangey-red tone of her lipstick and gown are a perfect pair. 06 of 27 When She Had Bangs Steve Granitz/WireImage These didn't last long, but Nina's long side-swept bangs gave off a youthful and playful vibe at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards. 07 of 27 When She Debuted Her New Bob Getty In honor of her 28th birthday, the star turned to Riawna Capri to chop her hair into a textured, beachy bob that she debuted at the premiere of xXx: Return of Xander Cage in January 2017. 08 of 27 When She Wore Pretty Hair Pins David Livingston/Getty Just a few days after she cut off major length, Nina styled her bob with four jeweled star-shaped hair clips that pinned back her new shoulder-grazing locks. 09 of 27 When She Paired Her Eyeshadow with Her Dress Dave Hogan/MTV 2016/Getty The actress pulled off the matchy-matchy makeup look at the 2016 MTV Europe Music Awards by pairing a deep plum smoky eye with her pastel lilac dress. 10 of 27 When She Went Bare-Faced Christian Witkin Although she's a lover of makeup, the actress knows when it's time to take it all off and give your skin a break. Case in point: when she posed makeup-free for PEOPLE's World's Most Beautiful Issue in 2017. “I like to let the skin breathe and not wear makeup for that reason,” she previously told PeopleStyle, “because when you keep piling it on the pores get clogged and you’ll break out and then you’ll need makeup.” 11 of 27 When She Pulled Off A Feathered Headband Jason Kempin/Getty Not many people are brave enough to accessorize with a peacock-inspired blue feathered headband, but Nina pulled it off like no other at the 2010 CW Upfronts. 12 of 27 When She Embraced '60s Mod Hair Tommaso Boddi/WireImage Nina channeled her inner Brigitte Bardot at the Let's Be Cops premiere in 2014 with this unique braid-headband hybrid. 13 of 27 When She Tried A Bold Berry Lip Steve Granitz/WireImage While this leggings-loving lady usually sticks with a pale pinky-nude hue on her lips, we're not opposed to her sporting a deeper burgundy tone more often, like she did at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards in 2015. 14 of 27 When She Embraced Her Wild Curls Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Nina has naturally wavy hair, and we're in love with the effortless, textured style she wore in 2015. 15 of 27 When She Went Ombré Kevin Mazur/WireImage We're still waiting for the star to go full-fledged blonde (or any other shade for that matter!) after seeing her test the waters with golden ends in 2014. 16 of 27 When She Twisted Things Up Jason Merritt/Getty There's no arguing Nina's got a knack for rocking braids, but this look was totally unexpected. Her undone twisted side ponytail at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards was a refreshing take on the usual style — and easy to DIY at home. 17 of 27 When She Wore Minimal Makeup Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage Right at the start of her Vampire Diaries rise to fame, Nina was an (almost) barefaced beauty with her fresh, lightweight makeup. 18 of 27 When She Rocked a Messy High Pony at the Oscars Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Although the Academy Awards are known as the moment stars bring out their most intricate, over-the-top updos, Nina's undone, textured, high ponytail moment was the perfect change of pace on the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet. 19 of 27 When Her Cheekbones Stole the Show Billy Farrell/BFA/REX/Shutterstock One year later, the star went the opposite route at the famous Oscars afterparty, wearing her hair sleek and straight, and rocking a chiseled contour Kim Kardashian West would surely approve of. (And her makeup artist Spencer Barnes showed us exactly how to get the look!) 20 of 27 When She Went Half-Up, Half-Down Taylor Hill/FilmMagic Can't decide between wearing your hair up or down? Follow Nina's lead, and style it in a girly half-up 'do like she did at the 2015 CFDA Awards. 21 of 27 When She Did Old Hollywood Glam Lester Cohen/WireImage Sweeping Marilyn Monroe curls, bold brows and a vibrant crimson lip are the key to achieving classic Old Hollywood glamour, which Nina nailed at the InStyle Golden Globes afterparty in 2017. 22 of 27 When She Wore a Unicorn Braid Jason Merritt/Getty (2) "A little #UnicornBraid for my favorite unicorn," Nina's hair stylist Riawna Capri captioned her Instagram photo of this fun braided look. 23 of 27 When Her Stylist Hid Braids in Her Updo Jason Merritt/Getty The coolest part about Nina's romantic hairstyle from the 2016 InStyle Golden Globes afterparty? The fact that her hair stylist Riawna Capri subtly blended a side braid into it. 24 of 27 When She Wore a Pop of Color Head-to-Toe Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic (2) Yet again, the star matched her look in an unexpected way, pairing her cranberry pointy-toe lace-up booties with a satin lipstick in the same color family. 25 of 27 When She Went Ultra-Edgy Kevin Mazur/AMA2016/WireImage Hairstylist Riawna Capri's added touch to complete Nina's rocker American Music Awards look last fall? Silver metal twine twisted into the two braids. "I get distracted by shiny things, do you?" she captioned an Instagram photo of the look. 26 of 27 When She Styled Her Hair in an Architectural Updo Getty (2) Nina amped up an average ponytail by sectioning off hers in three sections for a pretty, outside-the-box look. 27 of 27 When Her Highlight Was on Fleek Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock Nina looked like a glowing goddess at the Met Gala in 2016, with champagne-colored highlighter dusted just along the apples of her cheeks, beneath her brow bone and in the corners of her eyes.
