After photos of her look made their way to social media, some fans compared her hairstyle to Lord Farquaad from Shrek, while others weren’t impressed with its seemingly fried and frizzy appearance.

Jessica Chastain Shows Off Her Blonde Bob At The 'Heartland' Premiere
Jessica Chastain attended a special screening of her upcoming Netflix mystery thriller Heartland in New York City on November 5th. The Oscar-winning actress, who is known for her signature red hair, has been experimenting with a blonde look in recent months, but her latest red carpet appearance gave fans an entirely different take on the dramatic transformation.
For the occasion, the 49-year-old wore a black plunging minidress with a crystal-embellished belt, sheer black tights, and towering platform heels. However, it was her chin-length blonde bob that really stood out. Rather than the sleek, vintage-inspired waves she previously wore, Jessica styled her hair with a center part and choppy, tousled waves that fell around her jawline.

Fans Slam Jessica's Bob Hairstyle As 'Fried & Frizzy' Online
While The Help actress has been embracing her new blonde era, not everyone seems to be on board with her latest hairstyle.
After photos from the Heartland screening circulated online, fans took to Reddit to share their opinions about the actress's bob, with some comparing its shape to the infamous "Lord Farquaad" from Shrek. Others criticized the choppy texture and frizzy-looking finish, suggesting that the cut and styling weren't doing her any favors.
"Jessica's hair looks totally fried and frizzy, and the cut just looks goofy," wrote a user on Reddit. "I think she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but this hair is atrocious."
"She is my style icon, and this is so disappointing," added another.
One user noted, "Short hair is not for everyone," as another commented, "The hair is so bad."
"This haircut ain't it," a user wrote.
"She was so beautiful as a redhead," noted another.
