Celebrity haircuts keep popping up and the list never stops. Brie Larson is the latest A-lister to debut a new crop, and her switch-up is quite impressive. Larson has been rocking blonde hair for most of her career, in varying lengths and styles, dating back to her preteen days in projects like Raising Dad. But this morning, she showed off a new way of doing things that will make you do a double take.

The Roomster’s new chop isn’t as dramatic as her iconic pink Captain Marvel mohawk, but it still makes her look unrecognizable. Larson shared several black and white snaps of her new look on Instagram. In the photo, she’s all smiles as she shows off her ultra-cropped pixie cut with baby bangs and a slightly longer side piece around her face. In addition to the crop, she ditched her lightened hair for a dark brunette, her darkest shade in years. Larson looked as chic as ever in a black off-shoulder sweater and minimal makeup.
“Electra is here,” she simply captioned the post.

The devoted actress ditched her signature long blonde hair ahead of her debut performance in a retelling of Sophocles’ Electra. She will play the title character on stage in London’s West End.
Directed by Tony Award nominee Daniel Fish and translated by Anne Carson, the film depicts the days following the assassination of Elektra’s father. According to Playbill, she and her estranged brother Orestes have returned to seek revenge against the patriarch.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be starring in this Greek drama,” Larson said in a September statement shared by Playbill, adding, “Storytelling has always helped me organize my life, emotions, and experiences.” We look forward to sharing the space with the West End’s amazing audience as we explore this timeless story.”

Larson is clearly gearing up for the play, but yesterday she had another Broadway show on her mind. Yesterday, she shared a mirror selfie on Instagram in honor of the Wicked movie with the caption: “Channeling my inner Glinda @ArianaGrande😚.”
In this snap, she wears a brown Prada minidress with a built-in belt over a white T-shirt, paired with white ankle socks and black Miu Miu platform loafers. In this photo, taken before she got her hair cut, the Chemistry Lessons star can be seen with her shiny golden locks cascading over her shoulders, pushed back by a gray headband.
