We all know someone who dramatically changes their hair after a breakup (it\u2019s me, hi, I\u2019m the hair chameleon, it’s me). Celebrities, meanwhile, do it for… [insert movie magic jazz hands here] \u2728cinema\u2728. Dakota Johnson<\/a>‘s latest transformation is the perfect example of this, having swapped her trademark brunette lengths and curtain bangs for a style that oozes 1950s glamour in abundance.<\/p>\n

The actor is pretty much unrecognizable in first-look images from Flesh Impact, a new 17-minute short film written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Gone are Dakota\u2019s cascading brunette locks and in their place we\u2019re met with an Old Hollywood glamour bob complete with softly sculpted curls and a peroxide blonde color to boot.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019ve ever wondered what Dakota Johnson would look like after a rendezvous with a vintage roller set, behold:<\/p>\n

Now, while the only plausible reaction to such a transformation is collective admiration (read: mouths agape), it is worth noting that the \u2019do arrives as a temporary style for the role. Yep, news flash! She is, in fact, wearing a wig.<\/p>\n

In Flesh Impact, Dakota portrays a young Marilyn Monroe\u2014and considering Marilyn\u2019s hair was practically the blueprint for the Hollywood bombshell look, a blonde bob was pretty much non-negotiable. Her co-star, Ellen Burstyn, plays an imagined older version of the Hollywood icon and the story explores fame, identity, and the complicated realities of being an actor.<\/p>\n

The short film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival this September as part of celebrations marking what would have been Marilyn\u2019s 100th birthday.<\/p>\n

Wig or not, there\u2019s no denying that this is one of Dakota\u2019s most memorable transformations to date. I guess blondes do have more fun…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
