After her Emily in Paris character debuted bangs on the show’s latest season, Lily Collins chopped off her IRL locks for summer in a chic French bob. And while she’s been effortlessly rocking the crop since June, tempting us all to follow in the process, a new role has just given the actress a new look and some fresh shades. .
In an Instagram post about the West End screening of Beth Wall’s Barcelona, in which she co-stars Alvaro Morte, the famous brunette showed off her dramatic transformation.
Collins, 35, slumped towards the camera, casually showing off her flowing blonde hair, parted to the side and styled in loose curls.

The look wasn’t as drastic of a change as we thought, but it was actually a wig change to make her into character. Despite this, fans were still thrown for a loop.
This isn’t the first time Collins has experimented with temporary blonde hair. Back in 2017, she fooled her fans with a selfie that included a very convincing wig, but hours later reassured her followers with her natural hair.

Lynette Linton’s Barcelona is set in 2009 and tells the story of an American tourist (Collins) and a handsome Spaniard (Morte) who return home together after a night out. What begins as a fun one-night stand turns into a high-stakes clash of intentions and desires as the personal and the political intertwine. According to its description, the story explores the illusion of who we are and the truth of who we are.
Check out the behind-the-scenes trailer below.
