Actress Robin Wright, who filed for divorce from Sean Penn this August, revealed her newly brunette hair at a screening of her upcoming film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, Sunday night (Nov. 15) in L.A.
That’s such a breakup-y thing to do–to totally change your hair. But it can be cathartic. Robin told More magazine in their September issue,”I hit that crossroad a while ago. I know what I don’t want.”
And apparently, Robin no longer wants blonde hair! I don’t love the brunette color on her. She looks really gorgeous as a blonde–it brings lightness to her face and suits her coloring perfectly. Robin looks like she’s probably a natural blonde and just got a little help to brighten the color. So, yeah. I’m not thrilled about the darker shade, but I feel where she’s coming from. Sometimes changing your hair helps you move through difficult situations in your life. It reflects a sort of metamorphosis.
Have any of you dramatically changed your hair during a period of transition in your life? Whether it be a break up or any other major changes? Let me know!
i agree. the blonde compliments her.
Jamie, yeah… She is pretty either way, but I like the blonde. I wonder if she will stay brunette?
I would change my hair color every couple of months if I had the money. Never did it for a specific reason though, just because I wanted to. And I totally agree with you, Valerie, if anyone was born to be a blond it’s Robin Wright. Technically, she’s pretty enough to pull off the brunette, but when you put that photo next to her rocking the blond you see how much better she could look. I predict she’s back to blond w/in a year.
Chris, I think she will go back to blonde too. She’s just too perfect as a blonde… It’s just a phase. Kill me now, but I cannot help think of SJP in the Sex in the City movie.
I actually think the brunette ages her a lot, although this pic is better than the other one I saw. I totally dig her as a blonde. It really compliments the angles of her face.
And yes, my friends used to joke that you could tell when I broke up with a guy because I would cut and/or dye my hair. But last time I had a bad breakup I actually started growing out my hair (three years later, my boyfriend is thanking my ex for the long hair!)… then again, I also pierced my nose…
Alyssa, the dark color is a little aging. and piercing/tattooing is another breakup thing!
