Zooey Deschanel Stunned Everyone With Her New Look and Fans Think She’s “Unrecognizable”

The actress recently posted 2 Instagram photos that totally shocked her fans. In both selfies, Zooey’s signature look with bangs and long brown hair is nowhere to be seen, and instead, she’s rocking a bold blonde hairdo. Fans were amazed and someone joked, “Everyday she proves why people would’ve not recognized Clark Kent was Superman.”

Zooey rarely experiments with her appearance.

The actress has been rocking bangs since she was a little kid, and she hardly ever strayed from that signature look. So, no surprise that her fans were left completely gobsmacked when she decided to temporarily give up the bangs in 2021.

She doesn’t understand why people can’t recognize her.

The star wonders why she becomes unrecognizable just by pinning back her hair. She says, “It’s truly shocking to me, but it’s funny. A lot of times, I just have my hair out of my face in my life, so that’s what’s funny. My family recognizes me without bangs.”

Her recent Instagram post amazed her fans.

Deschanel posted 2 mirror selfies where she rocks a black jacket, an electric blue tank, and shows off her French manicure — definitely a step away from her usual vibe. Looks like she’s getting ready to film and snapped these in a makeup trailer.

Fans loved the change.

Fans were stunned, and the drastic change caused the comments section to blow up. One user wrote, “That’s insane I didn’t even recognize you.” Others added, “Who’s that girl?”, “For real though! Who is she?!? New personality unlocked!” Someone also asked the question we all must have had in our minds when we saw Zooey, “What happened to her bangs?”

She revealed why she dared to do that.

Zooey dropped a hint on her Instagram story that her hair change might have something to do with her new role in the third season of that Apple show Physical which is a mix of drama and comedy. The star will be playing a character who used to be on a sitcom but now dives into the booming fitness world.

Zooey’s new look is definitely a big change, but there are also other celebs who weren’t afraid to change their appearance. Emma Watson and Charlize Theron, for example, are also known for their bold beauty decisions.
