Brie Larson has undergone a striking hair transformation as she prepares for her role as Elektra on London’s West End. Known for her long blonde hair, the Oscar-winning actress took to Instagram on November 25 to reveal a dramatic new look—a dark, piece-y pixie cut that makes her nearly unrecognizable. The actor shared two black-and-white photos, along with a close-up on her Instagram Stories, where she announced, “Elektra is here.”
Although the black-and-white photos make it hard to pinpoint the exact color, Larson’s hair appears to be much darker than her usual golden blonde. The dark shade complements the off-the-shoulder black top she is wearing in the photos. A black heart emoji shared in her Stories may also hint at the deeper hue.
While Larson has sported short hair in the past, such as during her role in Captain Marvel, this latest cut is a far bolder change. The transformation is especially noticeable since she posted a photo of her long blonde hair just a day earlier.
Fans have reacted to the new look with mixed responses. Some are confused by her portrayal of Elektra, thinking it refers to the comic book character, while others have voiced disapproval of the pixie cut. However, many followers are excited by Larson’s bold commitment to her role, with one commenter saying, “This suits you so much, I’m OBSESSED and can’t wait to see you bring Elektra to life.” Another added, “You look sooooo beautiful.”
The new hairstyle has certainly caught attention, and fans are eager to see Larson’s Elektra in full color next year. In the meantime, it’s clear: Brie Larson pulls off the pixie cut effortlessly.
