2015 might as well be known as the year of the celebrity couple breakup. From Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s divorce to short-lived flings like Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas, it quickly became hard to keep track of all of the uncouplings in Hollywood throughout the past twelve months. While many people would argue that the best way to deal with a breakup is with a pint of ice cream, a lot of stars opted to embrace their newfound single status with a drastic new look. A fresh start has never looked as good as with our favorite celebrity break-overs of this year.
