Overview
- Chastain first showed a shorter bob and lighter color publicly in September at the US Open and then unveiled the platinum blonde version on Thursday at a fan screening for Other Mommy.
- The actress told Porter that this is the first time she has ever dyed her hair and that the change felt like a personal experiment rather than a career reinvention.
- She says test-driving a blonde wig while filming the Apple TV+ series The Off Weeks prompted the decision to permanently change her hair color.
- Stylist Renato Campora cut and styled the bob for recent red-carpet appearances and makeup choices were adjusted to emphasize the new ashy-blonde look.
- Chastain has noted strangers now read her differently as a blonde and she revealed the look while promoting Other Mommy, which opened in theaters on October 9, as The Off Weeks remains in post-production.
