If Dakota Johnson's signature brunette locks and bangs haven't had you debating whether to cut a fringe, you have more restraint than us. She's got great hair: a fact. Which is why we had to do a double take when we saw pics of her sporting a short platinum blonde bob. (Dakota, is that really you??)
In the new pics, the actress is seen with what Cosmo U.K. thinks is her shortest hair to date and what's more, it's bright blonde. Of course, she's kept her signature fringe but the Barbie-esque shade is a game changer.
It's not the first time we've been teased with this particular movie hair transformation. We got the first sneak peek late last year (pic below for a trip down memory lane) but this new sighting looks all the more official.
Let's not forget that Dakota has turned to the blonde side previously. If you have a good memory for useless things (like us), you'll remember she was originally a blonde in her big film debut, The Social Network.
The actress has come a long way since then and starred in a lot more movies, but it's cute to see her returning to her blonde roots. Plus, she looks just like her mom, Melanie Griffiths, right?
We're sad to report this hair transformation is most likely just temporary *sigh*. The pics were taken on the set of Dakota's new film, Daddio, so we're presuming this hair change is just part of her character.
There seems to be an ongoing trend of celebs experimenting with bleach. As we've recently seen Kaia Gerber and Kim Kardashian trying out the lighter shade. Coincidence? We think not.
Nonetheless, it's settled our speculation of what Dakota would look like if she had completely different hair, like the exact opposite, of her long brunette locks.
