When we think back to the major pop culture moments of 2008, a few things come to mind. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed twins. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were officially out as a couple. And then of course Kate Gosselin‘s famous spiked asymmetrical pixie cut.

Kate has since transformed her look, going from short to shoulder-length to her latest style: long, straight, chest-grazing strands. The mom of eight was snapped this weekend and editors did a double take when they saw her fresh look. We also started to brainstorm styles she could pull off now that she has that majorly long mane.

1. The Kate: With all that lengthy, we think Kate should channel the other Kate famous for her hair and go for a bouncy princess blowout with soft waves.

2. An Edgy Braid: Okay, we doubt she’ll take on something this specific and trendy, but we really wanted an excuse to talk about the star’s upside down “zipper braid” and chic top knot. However Kate, if you do decide to try it, please write about it for us.

3. The Half-Up Ariana Grande Special: It’s a strong possibility that 14-year-old twins Mady and Cara Gosselin have exposed their mom to the pop star’s music and famous look. But would Mady and Cara endorse this hairstyle for her? Unclear.

What do you think of Kate’s super-long strands? Love her look? Time to return to the pixie? Share your thoughts below.
