VIDEO: Penelope Cruz stars in The 355 trailer
Images were spotted of the star shooting in Modena, Italy for her part as Laura Ferrari, the wife of Ferrari founder Enzo.
She looked the part with a timely look, donning a simple blue patterned dress with a distinctly 1950s silhouette, paired with sheer black tights and a cardigan.
However, what really stood out was the change with her hair, as Penelope traded in her luscious deep brown locks for a jet black bob, bouncing along with her as she moved about the set.
Director Michael confirmed that filming on the project had begun earlier in the week with a photograph from the set he shared on social media.
Penelope went for a black bob for Ferrari
Ferrari went through production hell ever since Michael announced it in 2015, and currently stars Adam Driver in the lead role, with Shailene Woodley, Jack O'Connell, and Patrick Dempsey also making up the cast.
The change comes on the heels of another massive hair transformation for Penelope, the massive red curls she sported for the Spanish-Argentine comedy, Official Competition.

The project serves as a commentary and satire of the movie-making machine, featuring many references to popular film industry hallmarks like critical reviews, awards, complicated dynamics between co-stars, and more, and has received rave reviews since release.
