Drew Barrymore went full throttle with her latest makeover.

The 49-year-old debuted a fierce blonde transformation on her eponymous daytime talk show June 6. And in true Drew fashion, she used one of her most iconic Y2K style moments as the inspiration for her drastic change.

In fact, she channeled her Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle premiere look from 2003, in which she rocked wavy blonde tresses, grunge makeup, a gray graphic tee that read, "My boyfriend is out of town" and black leather pants.

Drew's new transformation came courtesy of her beauty angels, hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

"This is my chance to say nothing, do nothing," the Never Been Kissed actress said in a behind-the-scenes Instagram video posted June 6, "and just be the clay, and they get to mold it."  

After a few hours in glam, it was time for Drew to see the results. "Oh my god, that's me!" she gushed. "You just put a time machine in me. I feel like that girl again. I feel like I'm back at the Charlie's Angels 2 premiere."

But much like in her role Ever After: A Cinderella Story, her fairytale makeover had to come to an end. Once she wrapped filming her show, the blonde wig came off and so did her makeup.

"I cannot believe you brought me back 21 years ago," Drew told Chris, as he scrubbed her foundation off. "Good to know I could look like a Charlie's Angels again."

Chris added, "She's still got it!"

Not surprisingly, Drew's fans went wild over her transformation and even tried convincing her to ditch her signature reddish-brown hair.

"Time to go back to blonde," one Instagram user wrote, while another person replied, "Love the blonde, it really suits you."

Michelle Pfeiffer even chimed in, "Well hello blondie!!"

However, the best comment of all went to Sharon Stone, who loved Drew's overall edgy vibe. As she put it, "Love bug YOU LOOK GREAT MISS YOU FREAK XOXOXOXO."
