A bowl cut, fake baby bangs, a brunette bob — you name it, and Charlize Theron‘s probably rocked it at one point. The latest addition to her ever-growing list of beauty transformations? Curly red hair. On Tuesday, Theron provided a glimpse at her new look while introducing fans to Lady Lesso, the character she’s set to portray in Netflix’s The School For Good and Evil, an upcoming movie based on a book series of the same name. For her role as dean of the school for evil, Theron has voluminous, shoulder-length, side-parted hair in a fiery orange color — and it should hardly come as a surprise that she looks incredible, per usual.
Theron’s go-to hairstylist, Adir Abergel, is responsible for her Lady Lesso metamorphosis, although he has yet to specify whether actual hair dye was involved or it’s simply a very convincing wig. While sharing the fruits of his labors on Instagram, Abergel wrote, “The secret is out why I’ve been locked in Ireland. There aren’t many people I would have quarantined for….but for Lady Lesso, I would do anything. It has been so much fun creating this look with my genuis boo @charlizeafrica.”
