Brie Larson just debuted a startling new haircut and it’s giving Mrs. DeLauer from ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’

Brie Larson has just revived a classic trend, debuting a chic pixie cut with a dramatic twist, and fans are loving it. The actress recently shared black-and-white photos on social media showcasing her new, darker, and shorter hairstyle, complete with baby bangs and face-framing sideburns. The transformation is quite surprising, especially considering that just a week earlier, Larson had shared photos of her long blonde locks, typically associated with her Captain Marvel character.

This bold new look is in service of Larson’s upcoming role as Elektra in a West End revival of the Sophocles play. The show will open in London in a few months, and Larson is taking on the iconic Greek tragedy character, exchanging her superhero suit for the attire of ancient Greece. She’s joined by a talented cast including Stockard Channing and Marième Diouf, and Larson has expressed her excitement for the role, emphasizing her passion for storytelling in both her career and personal life.

The pixie cut has also stirred up nostalgic references, drawing comparisons to characters like Mrs. DeLauer from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, who also sported a fringe-heavy look. It’s not the first time Larson has turned heads with her hair — she joins a long list of celebrities like Emma Watson, Zoe Kravitz, and Rihanna who’ve embraced the chic, tousled pixie cut over the years.

Fans are already praising her new look, with many commenting on how the style perfectly complements her features and adds to her dynamic presence. As for her role in Elektra, the internet is buzzing with anticipation, especially as Larson’s previous posts have often gone viral, whether she’s sharing behind-the-scenes moments or fans campaigning for her to play other iconic roles like Tinkerbell. If her performance in Elektra is anything like her captivating style transformation, it’s sure to be a showstopper.
