Florence Pugh looks unrecognisable as she says goodbye to trademark long blonde hair

There are few things more rejuvenating than a new hairstyle, as Florence Pugh is discovering.

The actress, 25, has unveiled a very different look as she says goodbye to her trademark long, blonde locks.

In a post on Instagram, the Little Women and Black Widow star looked unrecognisable as she showed off a shorter, brunette do after treating her mane to a bold cut.

Captioning two pictures of the fresh look, she wrote: "I did a thing... #chopchopchop"

The new style was popular with Pugh's fans, who left more than two million 'likes' on the images – with a number of famous faces also commenting praise.

These include singer Ariana Grande who wrote: "I am crying. Stunning."

The actress Gemma Chan commented: "Yessssss."

And actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld shared: "Absolutely."

Pugh – who is dating actor Zach Braff – appeared to swap her blonde hair for a brunette shade back in the summer, for her upcoming role in film The Wonder.

However, this has marked the first time she has debuted a much shorter look, and it is unclear if it's also for a future movie part.

She isn't the only Hollywood star to opt for a drastically different new hair style of late.

In July, Andie Macdowell turned heads when she showed off her new silver-grey locks on the Cannes red carpet.
