Less than three months after dyeing her platinum blonde hair dark brown, Carey Mulligan has lightened up once again.

The 26-year-old Oscar nominee debuted her brighter look at Comic Con on Thursday.

"I took Carey from a medium brown to a gorgeous, soft blonde," celebrity colorist Negin Zand tells Us Weekly. "She wanted something more natural than the platinum color we've seen on her before and it really suits her. It looks amazing with her new, short cut!"

Mulligan -- who first went blonde for a film role in 2009 -- told January's ELLE UK she prefers to be a brunette.

"I hate my hair. After An Education, I had a small part in Michael Mann's film Public Enemies and he wanted me to dye it white blonde, and it wrecked my hair," Mulligan complained. "Literally, ruined it. It was falling apart, fried. So I had to cut it off. I cried."

Her latest shade switch is also for a movie role.

    Rachel McAdams also proves Courtney's borderline idiotic theory wrong and she's wrong about Carey. She should have won for An Education instead of Bullock.

    Courtney are you okay?? What about when they covered Amanda Seyfried cutting her hair or Jennifer Aniston cutting her hair or Emma Stone dying her hair?? Are you saying all of them are not good actresses??
