Elle Fanning Looks Totally Unrecognizable With Short Boyish Hairstyle: See Her Incredible Make-Under!

Elle Fanning is seen on the set of 'Three Generations' on Dec. 4, 2014
Elle Fanning looked unrecognizable as she filmed her new movie Three Generations, on Thursday, Dec. 4, in New York City.

Make-under magic!  

Elle Fanning is serious when it comes to her craft, as evidence proves with her latest look in New York City on Thursday, Dec. 4. No reason to be alarmed though, her shocking make-under punctuated by a short red boyish hairstyle is actually just a wig — still, a dramatic departure from the gowns and elegant updos she normally wears on the red carpet.

Elle Fanning wore a shaggy red wig on set of her new movie.

The hairstyle, even shorter than the shaggier look she debuted on set in November, was paired up with an army green jacket, clunky boots, and baggy clothes.

 

After transforming her long platinum tresses into an auburn bob, the Maleficent star described changing style to Style.com in October.

“I used to be a lot girlier than I am now—the collared shirts and frilly short dresses,” she told the fashion website. “I guess every girl kind of goes through that stage. Now I’m definitely willing to be more boyish and a little more sleek.”
