Cannes, France - Natalie Portman unveiled a new look at Cannes yesterday - a shaved head.
The 23-year-old, who is constantly name-checked as one of the most beautiful women in the world, revealed her new style at the Star Wars premiere.
But don't worry Natalie fans; she has only shed her locks for her role as a freedom fighter in the film V For Vendetta.
Star Wars creator George Lucas was one fella not put off by her new look and playfully rubbed her head.
Joining Natalie and George at the screening were Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson.
But one of the film's stars failed to attend.
Ewan McGregor, who plays Obi-Wan Kenobi, couldn't make the screening as he is currently rehearsing for the upcoming West End show Guys And Dolls.
His absence follows rumours that the star had been unhappy making the last film.
Those who did attend didn't have long to lap up the festival atmosphere though - they'll be jetting into London today for the UK premiere of the sixth and final film in the saga. -
Ew... OVER-RATED.
She's pretty, but not anywhere near the top of Pissant's list.
Let's send her some Nair
"She's pretty"
Not anymore she's not... she's more like an Uber-Dyke.
I like short haired women, but that do is a a tad to short, even for me!
"I like short haired women"
Why? You like'em butch?
Together with an offer to personally apply it, of course....
Since when does short hair=butch? I love my hair shorter. I used to have blonde curly hair past my shoulder blades, but when I had kids, I decided it was too much effort. Best thing I ever did with my hair. I felt a lot more confident too. I think a lot of women use long hair as a crutch or something to hide behind.
"but when I had kids, I decided it was too much effort."
Exactly. You don't care as much about it. For a young unmarried woman, that's not a good sign/doesn't mean the same thing.
out of curiosity, how many thread have you posted?
About 4 since I got to FR. BTW, mine are R rated. Bring a permission slip next time. ;o)
In case you don't get the reference... it's Ms. Swan from Mad TV
Never heard of it nor her. Sorry.
LOL. That I can live with!
They haven't IMNSHO
I got your back Aggie Mama. My wife has short hair and its veddy sexy!
Did teeny pay you off to harass me?
No you won't, not when it starts to grow back.
LOL. Uhhhh, I wasn't referring to me, just in case you misunderstood. ;o)
"but when I had kids, I decided it was too much effort."
First of all, having kids is no excuse to reduce the effort to look good.
Additionally, if you look pretty and feminine before the kids, I think it's pretty crappy to the husband to morph into the mom look just because it's not worth the effort it used to be when you were single.
I also happen to think that women who have long hair look more feminine. I am a traditionalist. Men have short hair, women have long hair.
You just have a nape obsession.
My plan is to keep my hair long. It took years tp grow it out. I don't want the "Dr. Mom" look. When I get old I want to have smooth skin and long, white hair anf have people wonder if I'm a witch. LOL!
Heck, no. I threatened to tell his mama that he spends all day freepin instead of doing his homework.
I'll be the judge of women. You stick to men, you turd.
I like not having to do the salon thing (puke), and the money I do not have to spend getting my hair cut. Mine is long and curly, so I can cut it myself. And, it doesn't have to look the same every day.
Don't go ripping any pictures of the Pope up now...
You know I have a valid opinion on everything, little urine man.
Haha. I thought she looked like Sinead, too.
remove the word valid, and I'm with ya toots.
Is anyone still here, or shall I take my toys and go home?
For a lot of women, when they get older, their hair thins out significantly. Trying to keep really thin hair long is neither practical or attractive, it looks terrible. I know a few older women with thin and thinning hair, and they have to cut it quite short. So hopefully there is room in your judgement on long hair for women to make some exceptions.
Personally, I just feel more feminine with long hair. I wasn't speaking to any kind of extenuating circumstance. Just generalitites.
Besides, some of my best friends have short hair.
Common dog in San Fran?
WTH ya been?
Use FDS for ultimate in femininity
Laura Ingraham will soon look like that. She is going to shave her head before her Chemotherapy because she would rather have it gone by her own hand, not falling out in patches.
Never heard of it. Is that what you use?
yes, as a matter of fact. I brush my teeth with it.
Thats way holy. Let's all worship now.
Our Laura who art on AM.. spavined be thy show...
spavined?
Holy cow! I didn't say I look like crap. I said it was too much effort. It takes me one hour to blow dry my hair if it gets past my shoulders. To take one hour for my hair each day is just crazy. I have a life. I take care of my kids all day. I live in Houston where it is humid 11 months out of 12. What's the point of having my hair long if I'm wearing it in a pony tail all the time?
I look great. I'm a girly girl that loves high heels and can spend way to much money in Sephora, but I wear my hair short.
I'm a long hair queen. I tried short hair once. Worst couple years of my life trying to grow it back out!! I DO NOT look good with short hair. I'll be one of those long gray-haired ladies with it all rolled on top of my head or something. I also don't have to spend much time on it. It would take me an hour to blow dry because it's really thick to I let it air dry!
