Jessica Chastain debuts platinum blonde hair in New York

Actress Jessica Chastain has undergone a significant hair transformation, moving from her signature red hair to a platinum blonde style. The 49-year-old star debuted the new look at recent events in New York, including the premiere of her film Heartland and the red carpet for Other Mommy.

Chastain revealed that the change followed a period of wearing a wig while filming the series The Off Weeks alongside Ben Stiller. In an interview with Porter magazine, she noted that she had never dyed her hair before due to concerns about damaging her natural color, but decided she wanted to try something new. She also commented on the social perceptions of the change, noting that people seem to expect more subdued behavior from her now that she is blonde compared to when she was a redhead.
