The 22 Best & Worst Celebrity Beards of 2015

Best: David Beckham

As People’s sexiest man alive, Becks can do no wrong. But we’ll never forget his frosted tips. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Harnaam Kaur

Harnaam Kaur owns her beard and embraced the flower beard trend at her beautiful wedding that went viral earlier this year. (Photo: Instagram)

Worst: Chris Pratt

We can’t slam Chris Pratt too hard for this one. The beard is fake and the moment was captured while he was filming on set for an upcoming movie. His beard is normally on point. (Photo: AKM/GSI)

Best: Jared Leto

Leto loves the love he gets, and posted this photo to Instagram this year, featuring his signature, full bearded look. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Kanye West

Kanye takes his hair very seriously, and gets a $500 haircut every single day. It’s safe to assume the hair on his face gets the same treatment. (Photo: Instagram)

Worst: Brad Pitt

The internet recently freaked out when they found out that Brad Pitt’s hair in Angelina Jolie’s By the Sea is in fact not a wig. Not much speculation has been made about his beard, but based on the goat-like goatee he had in 2010, the beard seems real. Maybe if he tried it with a different haircut? (Photo: Splash)

Best: Drake

Drake changed up his look this year, and his facial hair took on the length he normally sports on his head, and vice versa. We approve. (Photo: Getty)

Best: Zayn Malik

The ex-1D star has had a big year. He’s now dating Gigi Hadid, and earlier this year he sported a beard and man bun, both on fleek. (Photo: Twitter)

Worst: Shia Labeouf

We’ve watched child star Labeouf’s mugshots progress, and this beard seems to be his worst yet, but we can’t attest for how it looked when he wore a paper bag over his head on the red carpet. (Photo: Austin Police Department)

Best: George Clooney

Best: Waris Ahluwalia

Sikh model and designer Waris Ahluwalia’s beard is always perfectly groomed. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Jon Hamm

Don Draper opts for a clean shave, but Jon Hamm sure can pull off a handsome beard. (Photo: Instagram)

Worst: Andrew Garfield

There was a fair amount of drama surrounding Andrew Garfield’s beard this year. He said that it’s for a role, but admitted he likes it. We assume it’s for his role as a Jesuit priest in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film Silence. This just goes to show that a little maintenance goes a long way. (Photo: Getty)

Best: Michael B. Jordan

The Creed actor keeps a tight beard and stache. (Photo: Twitter)

Best: Chris Evans

There is an entire Twitter account dedicated to Chris Evans’s beard. @EvansBeard, ‘nuff said. (Photo: Twitter)

Worst: Chris Hemsworth

Hemsworth pulled a Tom Hanks in Castaway for his new movie In the Heart of the Sea, so this beard is not something we can blame him for, but we definitely prefer his signature clean shave. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Charlie Hunnam

The pointiness of this beard is a little strange, but we still approve. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Idris Elba

Idris Elba’s face was made for this salt and pepper beard. (Photo: Daniel Berger/Instagram)

Worst: Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo’s short-lived lumberjack look featuring a long beard and man bun (not attached by sideburns) is not his best. (Photo: Action Press/REX)

Best: Tom Hardy

We’re admittedly a little on the fence about this beard. Shortly hereafter, it became pretty huge and scraggly, but this was a nice stage in its development. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Jamie Dornan

Christian Grey knows a good beard. (Photo: Instagram)

Best: Jake Gyllenhaal

We hate to be biased, but this may be the best celebrity beard of all time.(Photo: Getty)

2015 has been a big year for facial hair. The ever-growing trend of fluffy faces means beards are looking better than they ever have, but with more beards come more ups and downs. From just-beyond-5-o’clock-shadow to full-on Castaway, here are a few of the best and worst beards of 2015.
