As well as being an Oscar-winning actress and gender equality activist, Brie Larson is known for her long blonde tresses. The Captain Marvel actress has walked down many a red carpet with her cascading golden waves as a signature part of her look, but now she's changed things up.

She looked over the moon with her transformation, as she sported an ultra-short pixie cut. The cut saw her hair falling in angular pieces around her ear and over her forehead.
Black-and-white photos appeared to allude that not only had she cropped her hair, she'd dyed it a darker shade as well. Showing off the new look, she sported a casual off the shoulder sweater and minimal makeup as she posed next to a white wall, showing off her side profile.

"This suits you so much I'm OBSESSED and can’t wait to see you bring elektra to life in the new year," one person commented.
Another person added: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOVED THE HAIRCUT!!"
A third person agreed: "OH MY GOD WHAT ???? YOU'RE ROCKING THAT HAIRSTYLE MA'AM"

She'll star in Elektra, Anne Carson’s adaptation of Sophocles’ Greek tragedy play. The play tells of Elektra's struggle for justice following the murder of her father, Agamemnon. This will be the first time the play has come to the West End since 2014, with Brie filling the role previously played by legendary British actress Kristin Scott Thomas.
"I couldn't be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson. Storytelling has always been the way I organise life, feelings and experiences," she confessed about taking the role.
For Brie, this dip into stage acting will be like going back to basics, as she first got her start at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Auditioning aged six for the training program, she became the company's youngest student.
