Zoey Deutch Chopped All Her Hair Off and Dyed It Platinum Blonde – See Photos

There's an unofficial blonde pixie cut hall of fame filled with famous women who wore the look so well — and some who still do — so stunningly that it made us seriously consider it for ourselves. If someone built a museum honoring the look, you'd find portraits of Michelle Williams, Jean Seberg, Charlize Theron, Katy Perry, Mia Farrow, Cara Delevingne, and Carey Mulligan, among a handful of memorable others. And as of today, there's a new member of this special club: Zoey Deutch.

For as long as Zoey Deutch has been in the public, she's been a bona fide hair chameleon. Although I personally picture her with long, auburn hair, that's really only been her hairstyle and color some of the time over the last decade. Her hair has been bronde, strawberry blonde, rich brunette, honey blonde, and most recently, she's worn her hair long and dark with blunt bangs. And speaking of length, although her hair is usually on the long side, she's dabbled in fun bobs and lobs. But never have we seen the actor with hair so short and so light.

Remember how I mentioned Jean Seberg as one of the premier blonde pixie icons? That's not a coincidence. Deutch will be playing the late actor in an upcoming Richard Linklater film. Colorist Tracey Cunningham and hairstylist Bridget Brager were trusted with the transformation, and a video Cunningham posted shows that Deutch was an active participant in the process, taking scissors to her own hair at one point.

To achieve the retro, nearly platinum color, Cunnigham used Redken Shades EQ and will be keeping the look fresh with Redken's Acidic Color Gloss Activated Glass Gloss Treatment, which can be used at home to keep hair conditioned and shiny.

Considering what Deutch told Allure about super-short hair back in 2016, it seems this new look is an especially major moment. "In kindergarten, I had all my hair chopped off. I guess I didn't have a feminine look at age six, because everyone thought I was a little boy, which is hard to take as a little girl," she said. "Thanks to that slight identity crisis, I haven't cut my hair even remotely short since." Until now. And we're so glad she got over that childhood wound because she looks absolutely incredible.
