We’ve seen some crazy hair transformations over the past year, from Charlize Theron’s gothic black bob to Ciara’s daring orange look. While we adored the dramatic changes, this unexpected one from Blake Lively might be one of our all-time favorites.
You’ve probably heard that Lively will be one of the stars of the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel It Ends with Us. But for a while, people weren’t so sure if it was real news, that is, until Lively confirmed the news by posting a snap of herself rocking a brand new do.

In a previous interview with The Cut, Lively admitted that she’s a somewhat shy person and sees her hair as her “shield.” When asked about doing something as daring as a pixie cut, she said, “Hmm, I don’t know.
