As a woman, growing out a buzz cut isn't easy -- just ask Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore and Natalie Portman. But it looks like Charlize Theron is taking a cue from fellow Hollywood blondes Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan when it comes to her transitional hair maintenance.
Theron has had her decidedly short 'do for a while now -- she buzzed it for a movie role back in June 2012 -- but the actress appears to be in the growing-out phase, debuting bangs during a United Nations meeting today. As her hair has gotten slightly longer, she's been able to change it up from the spikey buzz to the pushed-back faux hawk to this new Miley-esque style, complete with swoopy bangs. (Though, like we said, we think she's got more of a Williams/Mulligan blonde pixie vibe going on now.)
So we think it's safe to say: Bye-bye, Charlize's buzz cut! You were fun while you lasted. Take a look at Theron's hair evolution below and tell us what you think of her latest iteration.
