VOTE: Do You Prefer Anne Hathaway’s Short Cut or Pixie Wig?

Anne Hathaway Hair
Splash News Online; X17 Online

Anne Hathaway‘s short cut came as a shock to many when she unveiled the look in London over the weekend (left). But it’s not the first time the star has sported a close crop for a role: in 2010, the actress wore a wig (right) to play Emma Morley in the movie One Day.

Though Hathaway’s One Day wig was quite feminine — almost Audrey Hepburn-esque — her new haircut is a bit grittier. It has a darker backstory, too; it was chopped for her role in Les Misérables, in which she plays Fantine, a single mother who sells her hair and turns to prostitution to feed her child. Perhaps the seriousness of the role is behind the actress’s decision to go short?

Hathaway is pretty enough to pull off any look, but we want to know what you prefer — her short cut or her pixie wig. Vote in our poll below!

Maybe she liked the way short hair looked when she had the wig before and so this time decided to cut it for real? I think it looks cute!

It’s a shame – she really looks unhappy. Could be the paps in her face, but she also seems like she is trying to hide her haircut. She is beautiful no matter what. And her hair will grow back.

Who cares if it looks good, she did it for a role. If any of you knew about the character she’s playing, then you’d be glad she cut her hair like that. Besides it’s not like it hasn’t been done before. Natalie Portman and Demi Moore shaved their heads for V for Vendetta and G.I. Jane.

gah anything to distract from GIANT clown features – that ‘joker’ slash of a mouth, the creepy black shark eyes?? Jesus I don’t understand how this woman is in entertainment, I’d use her to scare kids into eating their veggies

I wonder how all these people making the rude comments would feel if as many people ripped on their hairstyle?

Tammy on April 9th, 2012

If the cut is for a role, it’s understandable. But IMO, very few women can pull that cut off. She can’t. It’s just too boyish and not a good look for most girls/women.

I think she looks fantastic… Almost an Annie Lenix look…

that short of a haircut is not pretty on a girl…

Donna on April 9th, 2012

I am shocked she had it chopped so short with a wedding coming, yes hair does grow, but she won’t have that beautiful long mane anytime soon, because she’ll have to keep her hair short for the entire run of the play.
