It's not every day that we're granted a celebrity hair transformation, so, when Megan Fox debuted a 'far-from-her-natural look' blonde bob and fringe hairstyle just a mere few hours ago, an audible gasp could be heard for miles... read: I was (and still am) catching flies.
But ICYMI, allow me to fill you in. Overnight, the actor took to her Instagram Story (as one does to share such shocking info) with a selfie that had us doing a double take. Baaaasically she looks completely unrecognisable with the new look but more notably, without her long dark tresses. She's saying bye-bye to her trademark style and hello to the very on-trend uptown blonde bob.
Whilst the cut – that sits just below her shoulders – isn't as chin-skimming as Hailey Bieber's, it's most definitely a lot shorter than her usual hip-grazing lengths. The blunt fringe that frames her face is also very off-brand for Megan, though, don't get me wrong, we're so here for it. Take a look at all that I'm describing below:
And yes, just to be clear, that really is the Mrs (to-be) Machine Gun Kelly.
The blonde tone may not be as polarising as her once-Barbie ice locks but again, it's certainly a difference. And for more of a natural look, a dark root has been blended seamlessly with the lighter lengths.
Now, having gushed about said new look, it has to be acknowledged that this may be *deep breath* a wig [insert Eastenders 'duff duff' for dramatic effect here]. I mean, with such a demanding job like Megan's, on top of snazzy events and red carpet appearances, a quick change here and there is often needed.
Everyone's clicking on...
Nevertheless, it's still giving all that needs to be given... aka, an inspo pic for our next trip to the hairdressers.
