A leopard can't change its spots, but Ashlee Simpson, 26, sure can change her locks.
Just days after husband Pete Wentz, 31, posted a picture of Simpson's new 'do on Twitter, Simpson made her debut in NYC. The cropped cut and blonde locks mark a drastic change from the longer, darker look she recently had.

Although the singer is definitely not afraid of change (at least when it comes to her hair), is the new look the best color and style for her? Experts tend to agree.
VOTE: Which celeb has the better hairstyle?
"The long, side swept bang frames her face really nicely," says James Viddes, a stylist at Sally Hershberger Downtown salon in NYC. "The length is fresh and easy to manage, especially important when you're a busy mother."

Simpson's new lighter color is actually a return to her natural blonde strands. "The dark brown was a bit too harsh on her fair skin," says Nikki Ferrara, a colorist at Sally Hershberger Downtown. "Blonde is more complimentary."
The final verdict: "This is a grown up look for her," says Viddes, who has styled Kate Winslet and Natalie Portman.
Wentz, 31, also approves. After posting the pic, he tweeted, "Cute hair mama!"
Tell Us What You Think
6Her chin is very sharp and although the short cut is cute, she really looks best with longer hair, atleast past the chin.
she looks beautiful, i love her new do and haircolor ^^
I don't like the length, but she should keep the color and quit switching back and forth. Blonde suits her best.
Wow, I can't believe the catty remarks! She does not look like she took her teeth out. What a ridiculous comment. And why is this awful? I suppose your hair looks better?
This is awful.
She looks like she took her teeth out.
