Pink, Miley Cyrus Hair VMAs

When Miley Cyrus and Pink showed up to the MTV Video Music Awards sporting similar hairstyles, the claws came out … among fans. But as it turns out, Pink is flattered that Cyrus is trying something new — and wishes other women would follow suit.

“Everyone has long, brown hair,” Pink said Tuesday morning during an appearance on Today. “When two girls get fearless and shave their heads, it’s a big deal. I think we’re just a little more daring.”

When asked how it felt to have Miley “steal” her look, Pink replied that she’s actually a fan of the young pop star.

“I think she’s beautiful,” she said. And as for the hair, “I think she rocks it way harder than I do.” Tell us: Have you ever tried a daring new hairstyle?

Pink you are one classy lady! Love you!!!

jurby on

i understand Pink’s supportive comments BUT of course she’s going to like the way Miley looks because it’s exactly the way SHE looks!

Suzanne on

This is why I love Pink so much! She’s not as proud and obnoxious as every petty person wants her to be. She doesn’t assume that she owns the rights to a certain sense of style and she encourages others to follow their own (even if it’s been done before!) Good for her!

Girlie on

She’s being nice. She knows Miley is a copycat.

K on

I just love her!

Klassy on

Always, always classy and mature and seeing the bigger picture. Who would have thought years ago we’d be talking about that girl with the pink hair being such a role model. Love you, Pink!

Lauren on

Love Pink, shes so classy and down to earth. She could have turned it into some big cat fight but she kept it classy!

Suzie-Q on

What is it with you American’s & long hair… It does not make you look younger you know!!!

Tanya on

‘No’ ‘jurby (below) – Pink responded this way because she is an adult, a mature adult (not a child).

Mommyof3 on

Class Act Pink! Props to you:)

Tanya on

‘No’ ‘jurby’ (below) – Pink responded to Miley’s hair this way because Pink is an adult, she is not a child.

Steph on

Way to be a classy lady Pink!

Amy on

They both look fantastic. Who cares if they’re hair is alike, why not get yours cut like someone’s you love? Isn’t that what most people do when they bring in a picture of a hairstyle to the hair dressers?

Susie S on

This is why Pink is awesome.

Julie on

Imitation is the best form of flattery…Miley is a young girl trying out different looks and so what if it is a famous person. I had a Dorothy Hamel cut, who didn’t try out Jennifer Anniston’s cut or Farah Fawcett give the girl a break.

Tamara Lane on

Way to support a sister, Pink! I’m an even bigger fan now!

KiaNicole on

Pink knows that she owns that style and doesn’t feel remotely threatened by Miley, nor should she! Pink is one amazing gal and is incomparable to anyone out there!

Becky on

I Love both these women. They are who they are. It’s not for me to judge. I also love the fact they are daring enough to be different. You both rock Pink and Miley.

markus on

Miley & Pink looks great. Miley is a gorgeous either long or short. Liam is a lucky man. We Love You guys!!

Shamma on

I love Miley! and I love her hair…

Lauren on

Pink needs to shut her mouth and act a little more like a woman than a rebellious teenager. She does have a daughter she needs to be a role model for.

kitty62862 on

Miley looks like Pink Jr. in this picture :D

Miss B on

Love them both. Obsessed with Pink’s new song

Jen T on

I LOVE Pink, she is my fave artist/performer! She is definitely keeping it classy and being nice here. Miley totally copied Pink 100%. I’m all for short hair styles and trying new things but this is the EXACT hairstyle of Pink. Color, cut, style, EVERYTHING. Be your own person Miley!

SarahSmith on

Of course Pink approves! A girl who doesn’t look like a girl! Why wouldn’t she.

magnolia on

Big Whoop! One wierdo approving of another?

celebratethehorse on

Isn’t it wonderful that the world is in such great shape that we have nothing to think about besides whether Pink likes Miley’s hair!

Kim on

Love Pink and her sassy attitude. Really enjoyed watching her on the Today show this morning.

DebbieLG on

However Pink may really think, she’s a class act all the way.

Kristy on

Miley looks like Gottfried in the face now

DG on

“Pink needs to shut her mouth and act like more like a woman than a rebellious teenager?” Let’s see top selling albums, worked through problems in her relationship because she was in love and refused to give up easily, cover girl, speaks her mind about being strong, supports younger artist because she is daring and doesn’t want to look like a clone of the other artists…I would say she is a pretty good role model for any girl and her own daughter.

James on

Miley Cyrus should not rock the shorter do! Her ears are too big and mis shaped to be rockin that short of hair. Cover those dumb-bo’s up MILEY!

Denise on

Celebratethehorse – if you are so concerned about the world, why are you sitting at your computer, reading a gossip story on People? Shouldn’t you be out, chasing windmills or something meaningful?

Pink is a class act, she is the perfect role model for young women. She has been through a lot in her life and has come out on top. She doesn’t engage in the mud slinging that so many do (disregard her tiff with Linda, that was not something SHE went out of her way to talk about).

I am glad my daughter loves her music as much as I do. And we both hope that she and Carey are one of the wonderful exceptions in the celebrity world and will be together for life.

guest on

Get over yourself already….Can’t stand this woman. Shaving your head & getting tattoos just means that crave attention.

drgrady on

Pink remains an impressive woman…

R Robbins on

Looks great on Miley — and PINK RULES

Meghan on

but pink is right! miley has the guts to break the status quo, and try something no other woman her age in hollywood is doing, and she’s proud of how she looks. i commend pink on her maturity and support, and miley on her transition and her guts

fanofboardwalkempire on

Love them both with their short cuts- they look fresh and fashionable for sure!

pinkfan on

Love Pink…one of my very favorite singers! She is so nice…this article makes me like her even more.

livy337 on

pink is simply a class act, two words i personally think miley will never understand, but whatever…

kim on

i love pink. class act.

thecat61 on

Was not a big Pink fan before but I am now. Class act. Oh yeah I am also a Miley fan. You haters need to cut Miley some slack.

It is lovely to see such a positive, non-catty comment from Pink. :) As an aside, similar styles have been around quite awhile, of course. :-D I did something akin to this ( complete with pink bangs) in the early to mid-80s. It IS nice to see something other than stick-straight brunette.

Cecilia on

I used to have waist length dark brown curly hair. On a whim, I decided to buzz it all off until I had a verrrryyy short close to the head pixie cut. I loved it, and everyone was shocked. It is nice to do things like that from time to time, and I think both Miley and Pink look great.

ladymatika on

I’m not too crazy about that hairstyle on Miley but I guess she’s wants to immulate Pink in a admiration kind of way , the girl went from country to pop rock , she has to have somebody to look up too in the pop rock era seeing how her daddy and the rest of the family wanted her to stay country and she wants to change and go pop rock , she’s trying to get out of that Hanna Montanna cycle which some people seem to want her to go back too , but hey Miley is all grown up now and doesn’t want anything more to do with Disney or Hanna Montanna but some people just don’t understand when a child star grows up they don’t want to play the same person they were as a child ya know .
it’s time to let the child star grow up and be what she wants to be .
