Drew’s New Two-Tone Do: Love It Or Hate It?

09/10/2009 at 01:50 PM ET

Ryan Miner/Splash News Online

Drew Barrymore certainly isn’t tame when it comes to her beauty looks. In the last year alone, she’s rocked everything from an exaggerated Marilyn Monroe-inspired bob at the Golden Globes, to streaks of blue paint for an indie music event. So when she switched to a conservative blonde bob recently, we knew it couldn’t last long. And Drew lived up to her daring ways last night, turning out in Boston to promote her film Whip It having dipped the ends of her long bob in black dye. Her two-tone do works with her punky plaid shirt and heavy liner, but will we see her sporting it to next week’s Emmy Awards? What do you think of Drew’s latest beauty change-up?

OMG that looks horrible! It would look better if black on top and blonde on bottom, but it just looks like she spilled ink in her hair!

LBW on

Hair can only take so much. I’ve seen women go bald from constant dying. Sure don’t want to see that happen to her.

FlightOfTheDreamer on

It look like ****! She tries WAY to hard to be all “rock’n roll”. It’s just not her. Let it go Drew.

Mandy on

I don’t like it ….

Tara on

Like her… hate the hair

HVDxox on

Hey leave her alone , I like it, it’s different & it shows she is her own person and you know what if she likes it then gud for her :). Also to the people who left the previous comments I just want to say if that was your friends hair you’d say it was nice, it’s because she is a celebrity your saying all of this! So Drew you go Girl it’s your hair be as creative as you want :)

Lil Cap on

It looks god aweful – your NOT 16!!

shan on

LUV her, yucky hair!!!!!

Hallie on

Bad picture… it looks cuter in other pictures i have seen. she is trying to channel in her 80′s for the WHIP IT!! I cant wait to see it!!! I love Drew!!!!

HVDxox on

she doesn’t have to be 16 to try stuff new with her hair am not 16 & I hav tried a few different colours on my hair, it’s called she can do what she wants , Drew is awesum :)

Shannon on

I think Drew rocks!! Not everyone can get away with it and I think it looks awesome on her!! She’s fabulous as always!!

Becky on

Its awesome. Edgy and not so common .. or trendy but out there.

Ellie on

It looks like a really cruddy blonde cut on top of a black background.

Hmmmm….she’s kooky…but I hope this is for a role.

Lulu on

are you sure that’s drew barrymore?? it doesn’t even look like her!

Linn on

The lead singer of the 80′s band Berlin: Terri Nunn. She made this “do” famous a loooong time ago. I think it looks cute on Drew.

me on

I like it. Good for her for trying something new!

Amber on

love her, not the hair. she’s had better, but also worse. she just loves to experiment so i say let her be!

mustard on

Why not have fun? When she gets tired of it, she can chop the ends off. I’d probably do it myself.

kw on

OMG add orange in the middle and she looks like a candy corn. this is the worst hair ever! ewww

heidi on

EWWWWWW! Im a hair stylist and would never do that to anyone!!!

Susan on

Not to worry. It’s only hair. I’m sure it’s for her new movie and she’ll either change it or style it appropriately for the Emmy’s. You gotta love people with the guts to change their look frequently. She’s adorable.

hareinPA on

This is so 1980′s Berlin. Nothing new. Just retro.

BobaFett on

Nonono… I’m sorry but I had my hair dyed like that when I was 13. Never again… Not a good look for anyone. :/

Rebecca on

Drew, don’t you know you’re not supposed to mess around with paint unsupervised?

Debi on

Who WOULDN’T want to look like Teri Nunn from Berlin?

TEXAS13 on

Love her & love the new sassy do…

kym on

Wow…not a great look for her. Change is good, though…but maybe not this change??
Oh well, she could have done worse!
(Tom Green, anybody?)

Cheryl on

Not her best look. As Hallie stated, it might look better in other views (or in person), but in this photo – YUK! It DOES look like someone dipped the ends in the ink well.

DB on

Love love Drew….she is awesome…not crazy about the hair…but have a feeling it won’t look like that for very long! LOL

Momma on

Channeling her inner Terri Nunn, who rocked it first and best. It still is cute, though.

Kate on

Angsty teenager much?

Sckatt on

This isn’t 80′s. 80′s was being all one color, bleach blond or dark or natural. It should be on the top as if it was a bleach blond who grew out their roots. The dark doesn’t go with what looks like to be strawberry blond on top in this picture. Gee, I hope it washes out. I hope she didn’t pay too much more than the price of a boxed dye to get this done, noone is going to be a signature trendy stylist as a result in my opinion (shut the place down, we don’t want to see any more of this) As far as Drew goes, I am getting to appreciate her more as she gets older and is growing out of the baby face looks, I think the shorter hair does her face more justice than the long hair she had in the past, it just brought her face down. Oh, well, had to get my two cents in.

C7 on

the word hiddious comes to mind…Anything to stay in the limelight…YUCK!

Lisa on

Who told her that was a good idea?

islandgirl on

This girl is a fruit loop and a half. She craves the attention and the kooky looks get it for her, plain and simple.

tamra on

i would not be happy, much less have photos of the mess!

Jules on

I have always been a fan of Drew, she is a free thinker and always does her own thing….. unfortunately this isn’t working for her.
She is a woman trying to look like a teenager…. kind of sad.

Callie on

One step forward and 10 steps back…

sandy on

LBW: I couldn’t agree more. It used to be that girls had long beautiful hair naturally. Now they are over dying, over straightening, extensions, etc, etc that naturally beautiful hair is a thing of the past.

HollywoodHud on

Love Drew, the hairdo is OK for a funky, fun change……….I hope she doesn’t keep it that way!

d on

She looks 40+ even without the hair. Drew is too old, she needs to dress like it. Besides she looks like Cruella Deville.

Karen on

I didnt even notice the black until i read it lol i thought her hair was just really short. dont like it

Z1 on

At first glance I thought it was a cool look, then I realized it was black on the ends, ruined it!!!!! But then again, Drew looks good in anything………………..

MrsH on

ATROCIOUS!!!

Stacey on

Isn’t that how Dee Snyder used to wear his hair when he was with “Twisted Sister”, back in 1982?

Liz on

I love Drew Barrymore but this is just horrible. It looks like she accidently put her hair in black ink. I hope its not permeant dye

Bella on

OMG I hate it!! Drew dye it back and let the bob grow out.

Lori on

It looked good if the year was 1985. Besides, she’s 30 something, she’s a bit old for that look.

Kathy on

Looks HORRIBLE!!!!

Rell on

Horrible, to say the least. It does not look good on her.

Erika on

Drew is my doppleganger so I will always love her. As for the hair…um, creative?!

sharon on

reminds me of that video “take my breath away” from the Top Gun soundtrack.

Wendy on

It is her hair – she can dye if she wants to -

elena on

the hair is horrible. it makes her look like an awkward teenager and i can’t really even stand to look at the picture *grimaces*

Pekay on

She looks like a marigold seed!

loveliam on

Who cares for god’s sake – she’s having fun, it’s just hair. If she’s happy, let her be happy.

Is it me or has anyone else noticed that she has been a little off lately

Leslie on

She always looks good. All of her looks reflect her cheery, open-minded personality.

alina on

wtf is that? damn its agly,,,,

Kelsi on

Well unlike everyone else…I like it!

Melissa on

Very few people can pull that off – and Drew is one of them. LIFE’S TOO SHORT to be taken too seriously. It’s HAIR. Get over it.

aj on

why oh why would you do something like that YUK!

Marianne on

Not my thing but whatever floats her boat…

Mandy on

She looks like a paint brush!

Logan on

It looks like the boy who sits behind her in class dipped her hair in his inkwell!

jj on

Hey Lil Cap….learn how to spell then, and only then will your comments count.

TerieRae on

I love it, although I will say she is a bit old for this look. She can do no wrong really…

Lindsay Cole on

Love her … but hate the new hair. weird, and not in a good way. please be a wig and not her real hair!

Mandy on

Love it! Always have :)

li on

Eww, she looks like a witch! It just looks like a someone dipped her hair in ink as a prank. Why just the ends? Granted, she’s a little old for the punk-rocker-Goth-edgy thing, but if she must, she should have woven a second color into her locks, and not black on blond, it’s way tacky.

Apryl on

AHHHHHH!! Horrible!! The line seperating the blonde and the black is too straight! That is horrible! OMG poor girl

HSR on

Love it…

Kate on

loveitloveitloveit…..this woman is an individual and willl undoubtedly start a trend. I give you the punk rocker salute Drew!

Lindsay on

i guess her box of hair color wasnt enough

Jen on

It works for her! She’s her own person. She doesn’t follow all the other “typical” hollywood trends. I like that it’s different :)

elisa beth on

first time I saw it I said:eww!

shavaricox18 on

I think she looks okay I like the shirt. But the hair not so much!

Kelly on

I think that she is pretty ballsy for trying something diffrent like this!

MissPat on

HATE IT! I DID NOT EVEN SEE THE BLACK UNTIL I READ THE ARTICLE! SHE IS SO CUTE AND I GUESS SHE LIKES TO BE SHOCKING. SHE NEEDS A STYLIST…SOMONE TO TELL HER “NO”. AND GVE HER SOME GREAT IDEAS. LIPSTICK, TOO RED!

Katrina on

EWWWWW that just looks terrible. I hope she goes back to blonde only. She makes a good lookin blonde

Madi W on

Drew doesn’t have any transition between the blonde and the black, so it look tacky

Isabel on

I LOVE IT- on her. Only she can pull this off because she’s so fresh and bubbly. Go Drew!

Domi on

Black and blonde?ARE YOU KIDDING ME.She looks best a redhead.

Mandilyn on

I admire her ability to be herself amist the pressure all women face to be a certain (& safe) brand of “beautiful!”
I am married to a master hair colorist, and he and I both love that she is a role model for women to push the envelope… to be who they want to be, not who others want them to be…
It doesn’t matter if I like it- I like that SHE likes it!
GO DREW!! xoxo

Jen on

Horrible!

Lora on

It’s not my favorite look on her but Drew is so pretty she can pull off practically anything!

Delvbe on

It is just hair – color can always be changed and it always grows back. If she likes it right now that is all that matters. From what I know of Drew she could care less what we think. She does what she wants and I applaud her for that.

almira on

hate it

jenlou on

i think eff all you who hate. im sure you all have normal, plain jane hair dooz. And anyone trying to be origninal is really only imitating someone else neways. i think ballz to the wallz drew! rock it cause you can and rock it cause you want too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

loon4u on

Drew’s a great actress. Let’s just keep it at that, Drew, and leave the fashion to the experts.
