Back in July, (which now seems like a lifetime ago, no?) Nicola Peltz surprised us all with a dramatic hair transformation, dyeing her bleach blonde locks a dark brown tone. And as much as we loved the look, now, just short of three months later, she's switched it up once again with a style that we, as well as fans, think is her best yet. Proving to us that she could, in fact, go even darker, Nicola has only gone and got jet-black hair.
Taking to the Academy Museum Gala red carpet in L.A., Nicola stepped out to debut her brand new locks alongside her husband, Brooklyn Beckham. And although the change is not as drastic as her last, the brunette colour is most certainly a shade or two darker.
Celebrity hair colourist, Daniel Moon was the genius behind the colour, who along with stylist David von Cannon created the following masterpiece.
In terms of the style, David opted for a sleek half-up half-down 'do, complete with a classic middle parting. It's giving snatched model Bella Hadid vibes, wouldn't you agree?
Oh, and did I forget to mention that she now has razor-thin eyebrows?!
Now, whilst I do luuuurve the look on Nicola, I don't think my mum (her 'brows never recovered from the tweeze-happy '90s) or my pain tolerance could forgive me for ridding of my long-grown feathery arches.
Everyone's clicking on...
As am I, fans, too, are divided on the trend, leaving their opinions in the comments section of her post. Many are here for the skinny 'brow, writing:
"90s brows 🔥"
"Keep the brows!"
"🙌🏼also: eyebrows 🙌🏼"
"your best look yet xx"
"Love your brows 😍😍😍😍😍😍"
Whilst others are still in need of convincing:
"You are beautiful but where are your ideal eyebrows? Now you look different"
"What's with the eye brows?"
"So thin eyebrow is now a new trend?"
Well, I guess I'll leave you with one final thought: to pluck or not to pluck – that is the question.
