Olivia Wilde Debuts a Short New Do

Olivia Wilde Haircut
Marion Curtis/Startraks; FameFlynet

New love … new look? Olivia Wilde — recently linked to Jason Sudeikis — visited the Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood Thursday, and left with a wavy new shoulder-length do. Though the In Time actress has long been known for her lengthy locks, she did keep her ombré hair color and sweeping bangs.

Wilde was spotted at a University of Kansas basketball game with Saturday Night Live‘s Sudeikis in December, and cozied up to him again earlier this week in New York City. Perhaps the actress — who officially divorced her husband of eight years in October — is ready for a fresh start in more ways than one?

Wilde (along with Emma Stone) recently made her debut as a new face of Revlon cosmetics, so we’ll expect to see her new do play a role in future ads. Tell us: What do you think of Wilde’s haircut?

Love it. Love her! :)

Kelly on January 6th, 2012

Don’t love it. It amazes me when a celeb pays all of this money at a salon, and walks out looking like nothing was done to style their hair after the cut. Eh.

Annabella on January 6th, 2012

There really isn’t much of a difference in the length. Not sure why it was even mentioned.

Ginger on January 6th, 2012

Not my idea of a “short do” at all.

Sharon on January 6th, 2012

The way the article sounds, I thought she was going to have her hair cut to her chin, but there is not that much of a difference.

terri on January 6th, 2012

hate it!!!

Gina on January 6th, 2012

She could be bald and still look beautiful.

Linda on January 6th, 2012

It looks like the exact same haircut with just 4 inches or so taken off. For someone just leaving a salon it does not look like the stylist even took the time to style it nicely. Oh well, she is pretty anyway.

Joanna on January 6th, 2012

I’m really underwhelmed. I’m sure she paid plenty for this “cut”, and it looks like she just rolled out of bed.

helen on January 6th, 2012

I love Olivia but this is not news. She barely cut 2 inches off. It most be a slow gossip day. NEXT!

babalette on January 6th, 2012

Wow! Looks like she did it herself!

Chrissi on January 6th, 2012

A better picture might help, in this one you can’t really see her face. Going off of this, I’m not liking it for her!!

Jester on January 6th, 2012

A couple of comments: First of all, she is not sporting a SHORT cut. You can go into any salon and look at the hairstyling books and will not find this length hair catagorized under SHORT styles. Looks to me that she got a trim and that is all. Secondly, the photograph of her with her new ‘do’ probably wasn’t taken after she left the salon, so it’s kind of silly to presume that she did not have it styled after paying for the cut.

Tara on January 6th, 2012

cute! i think i’ll get this cut the next time i’m at the salon.

sunnie on January 6th, 2012

A haircut is big news??? Why?

Felicia on January 6th, 2012

Every woman likes a change now and then, it’s only hair and will grow back. Either way she’s beautiful.

boohoobytch on January 6th, 2012

hasn’t this chick been linked to the entire planet at this point? not very becoming

Melissa on January 6th, 2012

Honestly, you can completely tell she got at least 3 maybe 4 inches taken off. I think it looks young and fresh. I also completely LOVE her hair color.

rlb237 on January 6th, 2012

The headline doesn’t say “short” do, it simply says “shortER.” And as someone with long hair myself, trust me, parting with 4 inches after having such long hair, IS a lot. It doesn’t seem like much to anyone else (and when I got a similar amount cut off mine recently, nobody really noticed one way or another), but it seemed like a foot to me. It’s all relative.

Beth on January 6th, 2012

Oh for goodness sake, maybe she was in a hurry and didn’t have time to have it styled. I have done this many times. Maybe on the way to work out etc and she probably had it cut for a movie role.

guest on January 6th, 2012

healthy lookin-looks fab!

ELC on January 6th, 2012

PLEEZE!Such a pretty talented actress-what did she do to her hair or should I say what did she let her beautician do? That new do does nothing for her. Its o.k. to try to looks but her beautician has eyes behind their head…and I’m sure she paid a pretty penny for such a flat blah look. Grow your hair again Olivia-it was much more attractive on your head.

Ruby on January 6th, 2012

My goodness Olivia…who did you let shear your
hair? Forget the color it does nothing for you..and the cut-well I guess your beautician is breaking into the business. Truly, I think you should change hair stylists because the one who did your head really has no talent at all. May be they think they do and they talked you into something different-unfortunately, this style and color does absolutely nothing for you. Your hair was long and beautiful before why bother cutting it?

Melinda on January 6th, 2012

Without a doubt, she has the best eyebrows in Hollywood. The hair is OK, too.

Jenn on January 6th, 2012

What’s the matter, didn’t she have time to put in her extensions before she had to run down to the laundromat?

Brandy on January 6th, 2012

Omg she got her hair trimmed!!!! *gasp*

Seriously?

heidi on January 6th, 2012

She merley took her extentions out….duh!

Jenn on January 6th, 2012

I see the comments on this store lost steam about as fast as the story on the Radcliffe kid from Harry Potter about his dating life. His love life is as dull as her hair color.

Kathleen on January 6th, 2012

Looks like she just had her extensions removed. I hope she will start a trend – I’m so sick of seeing those long pelts of flat, fake hair on everyone.

kat on January 6th, 2012

Why does the media act like a celebrity has gotten a haircut when they remove some extensions? Bewildering.

Fiona on January 7th, 2012

It looks to me like she’s had hair extensions removed, thus the choppy, mid-length do. Not a look I care for.

Robert on January 7th, 2012

OLivia Wilde could cut off all her hair and go completely bald and the number of guys wanting to date her and marry her wouldn’t decrease by 1. She is a stunningly beautiful woman with a great face and body and how long her hair is/isn’t is so inconsequential to guys.

Shanna on January 7th, 2012

I kind of like the new do. Now this may not be the best photo but f or those of you who can’t see a differenjce, your eyes may be even worse then miine. I would bet it is easier to care for.

Nat on January 7th, 2012

I like it! Its obviously not a huge change but she definitely cut a good 4 or 5 inches off!

Marcia on January 7th, 2012

That’s not “short”. It’s kind of a cute cut, makes her look younger. But your title is misleading.

tillie on January 7th, 2012

Thats what you call short.

nebu on January 8th, 2012

“Short” do??? Looks the same. Haircuts should only be stories if its for a good cause. IE- if someone donates their hair.

LN on January 8th, 2012

Olivia had such beautiful, long hair. It’s a shame she chose to lop it off. It is totally unimpressive and I am sure she paid a fortune to get that “bed head” look. Don’t know what she was thinking, really!
