Katie Couric's Hair: A Retrospective (SLIDESHOW)

If you watched the Monday night broadcast of "CBS Evening News," you probably noticed anchor Katie Couric's haircut. This new 'do is one of many different styles Couric has sported through the years. In the nineties, she kept her hair short and an all-business shade of brown. Then, from 2000 to 2004, her locks got progressively longer and blonder. Since 2004, her hair has stayed shoulder-length...until she opted for change and chopped it all off. Below, a brief history of Katie Couric's hair.

Say what you will about her, she did a GREAT job for the country, with her TIMING and disbelieving looks, during the Bible Spice interview. Plus, her job during CBS's post debate pod-cast were TERRIFIC!!!

One of the best pair of legs in the biz. She could be bald, love her legs.

2004, 2005, 2006 were her best looks.

as Stewie would say "not a good tooth-to-gum ratio"..

I have always loved Katie. She should never have left NBC.

Why are people complaining about this? It's the style page. If you want real news go to another page.

That being said, I like the new hairdo.

I agree. Lighten up people! If you're not interested, then don't click on the link.

However, I disagree with you on her new do. But maybe I need some time to let it grow on me.

Welcome to the Freak Show.

[GetoffMylawn]

She has a mouth like a horse.

LOL

It appears that Bush getting elected in 2000 somehow caused her hair to turn blonde.

WOW...Huffpo has reached the level of absurdity I never imagined it could...and that's saying something...

I don't give a s--t what her hair looks like...she is a lousy news reader who should go back to entertainment Tv where she, Bill O., and Oprah permanently belong...

[bellabeach]

Have to agree with you, her hair is the least of her problems...she makes way too much money to report the news, as a matter of fact there are MANY who make way toooooo much money to report the news!

[max]

it's fun...lighten up

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

She wears way too much make up.

I am hoping that by the time my three year old daughter is old enough to understand inane pieces such as this one that she won't be subjected to inane pieces such as this one.

One can hope, right?

why is this news? why does anyone care what couric's hair looks like? to even out the double standard, let's have a slideshow of the history of sam donaldson's toupée, or some other male newscaster.

[nellie]

She looks best with some curl in her hair.

[Topfeeder]

I agree. It softens her. Glad she stopped that tanning too.
