Famous as she is for her enviably long, dark hair, Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale has shocked fans by turning bottle blonde.
The Pearl Harbor star was seen sporting the new hair colour as she left Los Angeles’ LAX Airport on Friday.
The 37-year-old British actress was almost unrecognisable with the new summery style, which left her looking more like a Hollywood starlet than ever, reported Daily Mail.
It’s the first time Beckinsale has changed the colour of her brunette hair apart from in film roles.
The actress teamed her new hair with a pretty green beaded maxi dress, mirrored aviator sunglasses and a cream woollen cardigan as she walked through the airport with daughter Lily and husband Len Wiseman.
However, it’s not the first time she has tried out the blonde look, as she also sported lighter locks when she starred opposite Guy Pearce in 2008 movie Winged Creatures.
And while Beckinsale looked happy enough with her new look, she will have to dye her hair back to it’s dark colour when she starts shooting new movie Underworld 4: New Dawn in March.
She plays vampire warrior Selene in the film franchise, a role which requires her to take on a darker appearance with black hair and tight catsuit outfits
