Diamond Face Shape Celebrities in 10 Hair and Beard Looks to Adapt

Robert Pattinson, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and he is often photographed with tousled, textured hair.

Texture and volume placed at the temples, rather than height at the crown, is what adds apparent width above the cheekbones, if that is your goal.

Short stubble kept full along the sides of the jaw adds a little visual weight to the lower face; keep the chin short too if you do not want extra length.

Wider collar spreads and lapels are a wardrobe choice rather than a face correction, so choose them for your neck, tie knot and jacket first.

Former One Direction member Zayn Malik, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and he has often been photographed with a full, neatly shaped beard.

A beard that keeps fullness along the sides of the jaw and connects up towards the cheeks adds visual width to the lower face; how much of that outline you can grow depends on your beard coverage.

Malik has also worn many hairstyles, including styles with volume at the crown; crown height adds apparent length, which is a different effect from adding width at the temples.

Jared Leto, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and he is often photographed with longer hair.

Longer hair that falls around the temples and jaw softens the outline and can add apparent width at forehead and jaw level, if that is the effect you want.

He has often worn centre-parted styles, which place equal weight on both sides of the face; whether a centre parting sits well on you depends more on your hairline, cowlicks and growth direction than on your face label.

Leto has also worn beards at times; a medium-length beard adds weight and some length at the chin, so keep the chin shorter than the sides if you want width rather than length.

Ezra Miller, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and has often been photographed with shorter hair; a short cut that keeps some volume at the temples adds apparent width above the cheekbones.

A clean-shaven face leaves the cheekbone and jaw outline fully visible, while a side-swept fringe covers some of the forehead; both are options rather than requirements.

High necklines and structured collars are wardrobe choices, so pick them for neck comfort and occasion first.

Game of Thrones actor Michiel Huisman, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and is often photographed with a full beard.

Medium-length hair with subtle layers and movement at the sides adds apparent width around the forehead; if you want less width, keep the sides closer and let the length sit on top.

A beard trimmed to taper gradually from the cheeks to the jaw keeps the side outline neat; where the cheek line can sit depends on where your beard actually grows.

Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and is often photographed with a short, textured crop.

A textured crop that keeps a little fullness at the temples adds apparent width above the cheekbones while staying close to the head.

Clean-shaven, the cheekbone and jaw outline stay fully visible; if you like that echo of your own outline, a clean shave is as valid a choice as a beard.

Shorter styles need more frequent perimeter maintenance at the barber, while longer, textured styles need more daily styling, so choose by the upkeep you want.

Channing Tatum, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and is often photographed with short sides and more length on top.

Short sides with volume on top add height at the crown, which lengthens rather than widens the outline, so keep some fullness at the temples if width is your goal.

Light stubble adds a little definition along the jaw without adding length at the chin.

A classic short haircut with slight texture is also a simple option if you prefer a polished, low-effort finish.

Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and is often photographed with a closely shaved head and a short, neatly shaped beard.

A short beard with a defined cheek line and neckline adds structure along the jaw, within the limits of your growth coverage.

A closely shaved head leaves your whole outline visible, cheekbones included, so it echoes your natural outline rather than altering it.

Colombian singer Maluma, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and is often photographed with neatly defined facial hair; facial hair kept fuller along the sides of the jaw adds visual width to the lower face, while a longer chin adds length instead.

He has worn various hairstyles, including textured crops with height; height on top adds volume at the crown and lengthens the outline, whereas texture at the sides is what adds width at the temples.

Beard lines that follow your natural cheek and neck contours look neat without masking your outline; place them where your growth allows.

NBA star Jimmy Butler, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a diamond face shape, and has been photographed with dreadlocks, among other hairstyles; locs or other hair with volume at the sides add width around the upper face, while volume on top adds height instead.

A full beard kept at a medium length adds weight around the chin and jaw; trim the chin shorter than the sides if you want width rather than length.

Coily, textured or locked hair can hold volume where you place it, so tell your barber or loctician where you want the width to sit.
