Do You Like Jennifer Lawrence’s Dramatic New Hair Color?

Katniss is back! Jennifer Lawrence realigned herself with her iconic Hunger Games character this weekend, debuting a striking, darker ‘do at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The actress showed off her freshly dyed mane at the Sunday premiere of her new film, Silver Linings Playbook, offsetting her sleek brunette locks with a plum lip and killer tie-dye Christian Dior Couture gown. The result? A vibe we can only describe as “haute-goth-princess” — and we mean that as a compliment.

We think the dramatic hue looks pretty fab on her. Do you agree? Tell us: Do you prefer Lawrence as a blonde or brunette? Vote below!

i like Jennifer in Both colors :)

Jennifer on

Umm, she dyed it because They’re filming Catching fire. OBVIOUSLY.

Robin on

I like the darker hair on her. It really brings out her blue eyes. She looks like a totally different person, much prettier now!

govega on

she looks stunning with the dark hair.

Julie on

She is beautiful either way. I do prefer her with out bangs though, as she is in both of these photos.

s on

Love it!!! She is so beautiful and healthy looking. Hopefully won’t go on any crash Hollywood diets

CS on

BOTH! She’s a beauty.

Jane on

Her hair was colored for Catching Fire. It just started filming.

meme on

I think dark looks good on her, but so straight not so much. Dark and natural would look nicer.

Tammy on

BOTH colors look great on her! One is fresh and flirty, and the other is mature & stylish. Of course that is my own opinion…and I’m sure Jennifer Lawrence could care less. LOL

kasia on

it does not look good on her

stee on

I liked the shade of brown from the movie better. This black color seems really flat – like she dyed it at home. The brown in the movie had nice amber and red highlights with lots of dimension.

Kristen on

I’m getting so irritated with websites and blogs and whatever commenting on her “dramatic” hair change. She did it for The Hunger Games for crying out loud. Get over it.

Ari on

I like that what they consider “blonde” is definitely still brown, just a lighter brown.

Jenny! on

She looks pale in dark brown

juliebug04 on

It’s not so much the hair color, but the MAKE UP. I like the blonde look better simply because of her natural looking make up choices. That berry lip stain with the dark hair looks too harsh, although her eyes look gorgeous… Her dark hair looks nice on her though.

Grainne Gillespie on

She looks better with curls, the dark look would look better if it was the same style as the blonde

Sarah on

Katniss is a brunette. Filming started on Catching Fire, the sequel to Hunger Games, so she has gone back to brown for that role.

Amy on

They just started filming Catching Fire, no? She dyes it dark for her role. It’s next to impossible for this girl to be anything less than gorgeous.

tellinit on

She is a very pretty girl, so she can get away with anything, however, I feel the blonde hair is more appealing. The dark hair makes her look just a bit older. She’s still a beauty!

traycee on

I am sure it is for a movie. I have a 10 head so I can relate. This style is not flattering to ladies who have one. Need to keep it covered.

Kathy on

She looks good either way, I prefer the blonde on her though. Have to say I would not have recognized her right away if it didn’t have her name there, a dramatic difference.

TJ on

I actually think she’d look best with a color between these two! The blonde is too light for her and the brown is too dark. Neither are awful, I just think her coloring would be best suited with a warm, medium brown.

Sophia on

I love the blonde hair for a “girl-next-door” look for her but the brown is sexy. I personally love both! But to be honest, we all know she died her hair for her part of Katniss in the next Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire, which rumors say starts filming today, Thursday.

HGFan on

She dyed her hair because she’s filming the second movie in the ‘Hunger Games’ series. I don’t see what the big deal is. I dyed my hair, too, and I’m not a top story on People.

Laura on

She is so pretty, it’s hard for her to look badly in anything!
But the brown hair does make me excited for next November!! :)

Andi on

Hey this is what girls do. I like them both and if she gets tired of it try something else. That is why it is fun being a girl.

Jeanette on

I love her with both colors – her skin tone is good for both

kim on

personally, i think ANYBODY looks better with brunette hair.

hahaniceonepeople on

Soooo your writers make a mistake saying they “wonder why she dyed her hair so dark.. perhaps for a movie?”… then get corrected by their readers… and fix the mistake/article without thanking the kind/hillarious commenters for the correct info? Instead you deleted at least half of the corrective comments? Your readers expect better… you made a mistake. Own it.

Just me on

I love them both! She is such a beautiful young lady, with an exceptional sense of style and SELF. I like to see her rock some auburn tresses sometime…

Alicia on

The hair color look nice either way. She just has the worst bangs ever!!! Thankfully, we don’t see them in this picture!

really now? on

I like how whoever wrote this article didn’t do their research, not knowing that Katniss, in fact, has brown hair, and then when a bunch of readers commented on it and pointed out the mistake, their comments were deleted and the mistake was fixed like it never happened. Rude, People. This magazine used to be so on top of things, but now it seems to be going downhill.

Guest on

I think she would look better as a brunette, but I think this particular shade is too dark for her, so I voted blonde. That being said, she is stunning and I absolutely love her.

hahaniceonepeople on

So I post a comment about how this article has been revised.. due to your own reader’s comments correcting you and how you owe your readers a thanks for making you look in the know instead of oblivious… and almost instantly my comment is deleted!?! On what grounds? I did not cuss.. say anything mean or foul… just pointed out your writer’s little mis-hap. Own up to your mistakes.. it connects you with your readers. And each and every one of those correctional comments deserves a thank you.. not a deletion.

kerri on

i think it’s hysterical that they had no idea earlier this morning why she would have changed her hair color and now they’ve updated the article…

ES71 on

I don’t like either dark brown or blond here. It looks like her natural color might be light borwn and I think she’d look great with it.

miss prissy on

shes not that great looking i have seen prettier women ont he street.

norma on

With the brown hair color she would definitely make a GREAT Anastasia Steele for Fifty Shades of Grey!!!

Jenny on

Her face is just…unfortunate. The makeup artists always pile on the eye liner and eye shadow and foundation to try to disguise it, but they just can’t. She looks like a COMPLETELY different person without makeup on. That is not what I would call a “natural” beauty.

Mary Boyle on

I liked her hair, as the part of Katniss! That is my favorite hair color on her!!!

Rockie53 on

The darker hair makes her eyes look so much more brilliant. Great look!

Recie on

Not a good choice!

Jo on

The dark hair makes her look very hard and tough. Blond gives her a much softer and fresh look.

57 Stratman on

She looks so much more mature with the darker doo, and I LOVE the blood red lips…

Sunny on

I like her hair in the Hunger Game movie it looked great on her even her hair was natural blonde or brown.

Donna on

No.

janet miller on

i really love her in blonde hair but it comes down too what she likes it shouldnt matter what we think.

Marisol on

If she was showing teeth in both pictures; you would see that she’s much prettier with dark hair.

Marisol on

She looks healthier and natural with the dark hair.

Melissa on

I really don’t like the way the poll is worded. She looks beautiful in both colors and styles!

Olivia on

She had a nose job!!!! Look at the tip of her nose and her nostrils they are smaller. The holes of her nostrils are smaller and the tip of nose. She has had a nose job but I don’t know when. Can you all tell? I can usually tell and notice these things. I saw other recent pictures of her and her nose looks different in them too. She might have shortened her chin too. Her lips look bigger then her teen years so she gets injections. Go look at her high school photo her nose was bigger and her lips were smaller back then. weird!

Elv1s1 on

Jennifer Lawrence and Rooney Mara
Own Hollywood right now.
She could cut all her hair off and she’s
Still absolutely beautiful, because
There is no phoniness her beauty
Comes from within.
