Penélope Cruz is giving her signature brunette locks a fresh summer update, and so far, fans are loving what they’re seeing.
Fresh on the heels of press events for her latest film, The Invite, the 52-year-old actress recently debuted a subtle change to the “weekend bob” she had shown off earlier this summer. Her hairstylist recently shared a picture of the new cut on Instagram, revealing that she added a set of blunt, eyebrow-grazing bangs for an effortlessly chic and almost French-inspired look. Read more about her latest hair transformation and how fans reacted below.
Penélope Cruz’s Hairdresser Shares A New Photo Of Her Updated Haircut On Instagram
On August 2nd, the Spanish actress’s new hairstyle was revealed after celebrity hairstylist Cherilyn Farris posted a striking new picture of it on Instagram. In the portrait, she can be seen posing in a bright red V-neck sweater while wearing her brunette hair in loose, tousled waves.
The understated, subtle yet powerful transformation comes just weeks after Penélope debuted her famous “weekend bob,” which was created by her other celebrity hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos, who wrote on Instagram that his goal was to keep things “fresh and effortless.” Rather than dramatically changing the length this time, the mom-of-two appears to have kept the same relaxed, textured vibe and simply added bangs for an entirely different feel.
Farris captioned the new Instagram photo simply “penélope” with a heart, while also tagging makeup artist Ariel Tejada.
Fans React To Penélope’s Hair Transformation In The Comment Section
The transformation came as a bit of a surprise to fans of the Oscar-winning actress, especially as she’s had all eyes on her with the press tour of The Invite, the 2026 psychological drama film she stars in alongside Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan, and Edward Norton. After Cherilyn Farris posted the new snap of her haircut on Instagram, it didn’t take long for it to go viral, and fans began taking to the comment section to write about how great they thought she looks.
Fans began leaving comments like, “So good,” “So beautiful,” and “Stunning,” as another wrote, “Penélope [is] forever young and beautiful.”
“Brava, bb,” a user commented for Cherilyn.
One user called the hair transformation “major,” as another described it as “iconic,” all creating a super positive buzz around the actress’s new look. As the buzz surrounding The Invite begins to die down a little, we’ll be curious to see if the performer decides to keep this haircut until awards season comes around and she’s potentially hitting the red carpet once again.
