Charlize Theron Just Debuted a New Bowl Cut...and We're Calling Our Stylist Stat

The Atomic Blonde is back, but this time, she's sporting a brand-new bowl-cut hairstyle.

Charlize Theron debuted her new cropped hairstyle (which reminds us of our middle-school days) on Instagram, and captioned the shot, "She’s baaaaack #Fast9" in reference to Fast & Furious 9. She stars as Cipher, the criminal mastermind who previously had long, bright-blonde dreadlocked hair in the eighth installment, The Fate of the Furious.

Now, though, it seems Cipher (and Theron) are rocking a new 'do, and we're positive only she (and, like, Nicole Kidman) could pull off this look.

The Tully star transformed her previously dark-brunette pixie into the dirty blonde bowl cut courtesy of celeb hairstylist Adir Abergel and colorist Shannon Gallacher.

Abergel posted about the transformation on Instagram, and said he was inspired by the iconic black-and-white photos of Linda Evangelista shot by the world-famous photographer Peter Lindbergh.

Celebrities were quick to support Theron's hair transformation in the comments section. January Jones wrote, "This hair is next level good. But would only look good on you," while Fast & Furious co-star Tyrese Gibson said, "Damn we missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!"

We never thought we'd say this, but we might just be ready for #BowlCutGirlFall.
