Trust Us, You Will Not Recognise Elle Fanning With This New Red Hair Transformation

Spotted last week [June 11, 2024], Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet were not only looking pretty cosy but both rocking major hair transformations, too...

OK, dramatics aside, if we're getting real, the pair were seen out in the streets of New Jersey together but not in the way one would assume (aka, there's no need to crack out the tiny violin just yet for both Elle and Timothée are still in relationships with their separate partners). As stars of the upcoming movie, A Complete Unknown, the actors were on set filming and in character with somewhat dramatic beauty makeovers.

Now, as much as we love the tone and are all for declaring it as a new trend for summer 2024, it doesn't look like Fanning's hair change is permanent. After all, wigs, extensions and hair pieces are crucial for quick and easy transformations in film and TV. Days later the actor was spotted on two separate red carpets with her signature blonde bob:

So, before making like Elle and booking in for the next available salon appointment to colour your tresses, why not consider your options with a trial run wig? She says, being the furthest thing from a commitmentphobe...

Race you to the dye, hair chameleons!
