Emilia Clarke Got an Edgy, Very Un-Khaleesi New Haircut You Didn’t See Coming

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has chopped her hair off into a new look once again. She showed up to a pre-BAFTA party with a new bob haircut featuring very un-Khaleesi-like bangs and a slightly darker color.

Perhaps it’s an attempt to separate herself one step further from the long blond wig she wears for her Mother of Dragons character. Now that season seven of the show has wrapped, she might be feeling a little more free to express herself. After all, Clarke is known for playing around in the hair department. She’s constantly updating her hair color, cut, and style. Just this fall she stepped out with a new ombré hue, for instance. Always mixing things up, this one.

Another option: The new look could be for her new role in the upcoming Star Wars franchise that focuses on Han Solo’s early years. While details are scarce (and we can assume they’ll stay that way), we do know that the movie is slated for a 2018 release, which means the timing could work out.

Take Clarke’s new look as proof that bangs can be a fun way to update your style without chopping all your hair off. If you’re considering getting them, just make sure to prep yourself for success lest you face the worst: bangs regret. (Hey, it happens to the best of us.)

A few pointers? If you’re looking to use your face shape as a guide, we’ve got a handy breakdown of which will play up your favorite features, along with seven questions to ask yourself before going for the chop. If you feel confident after all that, get thee to a salon! But if you’re still on the fence, we’ve got a few other hair ideas to help you keep things fresh.
