Michelle Williams Catches Pixie-Cut Fever: Love It Or Hate It?

It looks like Hollywood has a case of pixie cut fever: Joining Jessica Stroup, Renée Zellweger, and Hayden Panettiere, Michelle Williams is the latest star to go super short for summer. The actress, who’s currently at Cannes promoting her film Blue Valentine, showed off a freshly cropped, platinum pixie with long side-swept bangs at the French film festival today. Though she’s no stranger to short hair, having famously chopped her locks into a dramatic Mia Farrow-esque do in 2007, the 29-year-old’s new lighter, brighter neck-baring style is a marked change from the honey-colored, collarbone-grazing waves that she’s been sporting recently. The indie film darling is reportedly in talks to play Marilyn Monroe–could her new color be a nod to the iconic blonde bombshell? Tell us: What do you think of Michelle’s new bleach-blonde pixie cut? –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

I love it–I have one too.

She looks great.I wish I had the nerve to do that.

LOVE the cut. Wish the color was slightly warmer. I think this particular tone washes out her skin tone, which is a shame, because in this picture there is otherwise a beautiful vibrancy to her face. Either darken up the hair color a bit, or her stylist/makeup artist should add just a smidge more color to her cheeks.

LOVE IT!! Good for her! She looks so vibrant and full of life. It’s nice to see.

She looks adorable ~ I love it!

It’s adorable! But I wish people would quit calling cuts like this a “pixie” cut, because it isn’t. A pixie cut is far shorter on top as well.

Um, this isn’t new. Her hair looked like this in the fall when she was on the cover of Vogue.

Sandy on May 18th, 2010

Love it on her . . . she looks much better than she did with the other style.

Colleen on May 18th, 2010

LOVE! She’s fantastic. Effortlessly pulls off the look.
