What’s Up with Amy Adams’s New Hairdo?

Well, here’s one hairstyle we won’t be including in our Instant Makeover tool! It’s Amy Adams‘s voluminous updo. But before you jump to judgment, know that it’s for a role — and it’s a wig.

The actress was photographed wearing the faux mane last Thursday during the opening night production of Into the Woods (part of the famous Shakespeare In The Park series in N.Y.C.). The musical combines six Grimms’ fairy tales into one story, and Adams plays the baker’s wife.

Though the New York Times was complimentary of her acting skills (“a lucidly spoken and sung performance”), they felt a tad differently about her hair, calling it a “furry tea cozy of a wig” and a “handicap” she had to overcome onstage. (We would add that it looks like Adams had to walk through a wind tunnel to get to the set.)

But we really can’t hate on her hair. In fact, we sort of love that Adams was open to going all out for a role, even if it meant hiding her gorgeous hair under a messy wig. Tell us: What do you think of Adams’s wig — wild or wonderful? Do you like when actors ‘hide’ their beauty for a role?

AMY ON AUGUST 10! Get a life!! You surely need one. You sound illiterate and who knows what else! Ignore Amy.

If you work for the website that published the article about Amy Adams and her hair, give up on life. This reporting is like the Inquirer except you guys admit you’re lying in the third paragraph, rather than not admitting it at all. It’s pathetic. Not angry or annoyed with you, just sad that this type of article apparently gets you views. Sad for everyone.

Oh my. At first I thought she was playing a part for some kind of member of the FLDS.

I saw her in the show last night- it fits the character. She’s still fantastic. :)

Gaga and Pink still sport big hair!

This is a cross between a muscrat, a ushanka and a beehive.

One of my sister’s BFFs is in this show, playing one of Cinderella’s evil stepsisters. She literally has a taxidermy squirrel attached to her wig. The hair and costumes for this show are CRAZY, but it works with Sondheim.
