Kerry Washington debuts dramatic haircut at ‘The School for Good and Evil’ premiere
Kerry Washington showed off a bold new bob haircut at Wednesday’s premiere of “The School for Good and Evil,” debuting the ‘do on Instagram beforehand with a “Princess Diaries”-inspired reveal.
“Professor of the Princesses 👸🏾 ✨ Madam Dovey is in the house,” Washington, 45, captioned the hilarious video, referring to her character in the Netflix movie.
On the red carpet, she paired her flapper-inspired hair with a green cropped polo shirt and matching skirt, both by Ralph Lauren.
Friends and fans seemed to approve of the big chop.
“Oh yes !!,” commented Reese Witherspoon, while Ellen Pompeo dubbed it “Fabulous.”
Hayley Kiyoko wrote, “This look is everything! Can’t wait to watch.”
Other hilarious comments found on fashion ‘gram @checkthetag included, “Claire, it’s French!” — a reference to a memorable “Fleabag” bob moment.
“This is kinda Dora The Explorer Eleganza Extravaganza,” another said. A third dubbed the actress “Gorgina Washington,” while the look also earned comparisons to Edna Mode from “The Incredibles.”
“The School for Good and Evil,” out now and based on a book of the same name, features Washington as the head of the “good” section of a fantastical school for heroes and villains, with Charlize Theron as her “evil” headmaster counterpart. Patti Lupone, Michelle Yeoh, Cate Blanchett and more also appear in the flick.
It seems that the “Scandal” star’s hair is ever-changing, as she wears it in a curly blond updo on the movie’s poster.
One thing’s for sure: Washington’s ability to nail any red carpet look is truly magical.
