Charlize Theron just got a bowl haircut
She makes the decidedly uncool chop look chic
By any measure, the good 'ol bowl cut gets a bad rap. It's the style associated with those cringe-worthy preschool kids photos that you want to bury and never resurrect. But here to change everyone's opinion on the decidedly uncool chop is Charlize Theron. Over the weekend, the actress bravely took the plunge and brought her bob into bowl cut territory. On Instagram, Theron posted a photo of herself rocking a short layer of fringe that neatly wrapped around the entirety of her head. She added some dimension with honey highlights.
Charlize will be reprising her role as cyber-terrorist Cipher in the Fast & Furious film franchise. "She’s baaaaack #Fast9," she captioned the shot.
According to Adir Abergel, the man responsible for Charlize's glorious cut, he was inspired by "early images" of '90s supermodel Linda Evangelista shot by photographer Peter Lindbergh, and there's definitely a resemblance between Charlize's freshly shorn locks and the pixie cut that defined Linda's career.
Here's hoping Charlize plans on keeping the edgy new look post-filming.
