Amanda Seyfried shocked fans with a major hair transformation on June 3, shifting away from her usual sunshine-blonde locks to a darker, less polished look.
The actress is easily recognizable for her long tresses, wearing enviable beachy waves in Mamma Mia!, a straight '00s style in Mean Girls and youthful curls in Les Misérables.
In character

"Very LONG very BRIGHT RIVER shoot behind-the-scenes: (First slide is a flashback idea that we cut out of the gate)," she wrote in the caption.
The first picture saw Amanda on set with a blunt, choppy fringe dyed a darker shade of blonde, which completely transformed her face.

The 39-year-old has rarely strayed from her usual honey-blonde hair, apart from her memorable 2024 Met Gala look that perfectly fit the theme of 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion'.
For the event, her hair was sprayed a metallic silver and perfectly styled into dramatic curls, creating a structured hairdo with a leaf-shaped tiara to complete the look.
Luscious locks

"My hair routine is…simpler and faster. Usually, I pull it back off my face and shampoo it once a week. That keeps it healthy, and I don't use any styling products, except for dry shampoo. I love things that make getting ready as easy as possible," she revealed.
The A-lister later added in an interview with Harper's Bazaar that she likes to keep her hair au naturale if possible. "I like having clean skin and taking care of my hair," she explained. "My secret is to avoid drying my hair with the hairdryer and also avoiding blow-dries when it's not necessary. In order to feel myself, I need to look the most natural as I can."
Becoming Mickey

"The characters in this story are struggling with the opioid crisis, and maybe I connect in a deeper way to this character's journey because of my relationship to a lot of the subject matter," she told Variety.
"What I didn't expect is to feel like this experience grounded me as well. It lit a fire within me."
© InstagramShe added: "I wasn't looking for something grounded and heavy and dark, but it was therapeutic in a way. The storytelling, the perspective was so unique, and it knew exactly what it was. It felt like if this knows exactly what it is, then maybe I will find something new within my own journey."
The Golden Globe winner sunk her teeth into the role with vigor, and fulfilled her dream of playing a police officer.
"I've always wanted to play a cop," she admitted to People. "It's like a childhood dream to play somebody that I just was always in awe of, even though it's funny [because] I'm not good with authority."
