Olivia Colman showed off a bold new look at the Wonka world premiere at The Royal Festival Hall in London.
The Oscar winning actress, 49, ditched her signature short brunette locks for platinum blonde.
Her cropped hairdo was styled into a sleek side parting as she proudly showed off her stunning new look on the star-studded red carpet.
Just 24 hours earlier at a London photocall for Wonka, Olivia was pictured with her brown locks, so had clearly decided on a new look for her big moment at the premiere.
It’s not the first time Olivia has gone blonde. She previously rocked the look during the 2020 awards season.

‘Olivia and I had been chatting about this [hair change] since November when she was in LA doing press for The Crown,’ the hair stylist behind the look, Marcus Francis, told British Vogue at the time.
‘As she has a pixie cut, there was the freedom to try something new and fun; not to mention she wears a wig for The Crown, so she could do what she liked with the colour.’
‘We originally wanted to do the big change back in November, but her visit to LA wasn’t long enough to fit it in,’ he explained of the dramatic transformation.
‘We tried again over the BAFTA and Golden Globes weekends, but still didn’t get enough time. When in London, we both agreed: the Oscars would be the time.’
Olivia’s latest role is in the hugely anticipated Wonka, which tells the story of the chocolatier before he opens his chocolate factory.
It is slated to officially release in the UK on December 8 just in time for Christmas.
The film is based on Roald Dahl’s classic 1964 novel titled Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and has been directed by Paul King, who previously helmed Paddington and its sequel.
Olivia plays Mrs. Scrubbit in the film alongside Timothée Chalamet, 27, who plays Willy Wonka, and Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa.
