Nicole's epic transformation 

In one of the shots, Nicole is facing away from the camera, showing off the back of her new short hair.

The other image is a stunning close-up of the Big Little Lies star whose piercing blue eyes look as gorgeous as ever.

Fans were excited to weigh in on the epic transformation and speculated about her new 'do. One fan wrote: "Your new haircut," with lots of red love heart and flame emojis. A second penned: "Cool hair."

As to whether the chop was on Nicole's natural iconic locks or simply a wig, one fan had the mystery solved as they cleverly replied to another fan asking, "have you cut your hair?" And wrote: "I don't think so, in the series Roar she has her hair cut but not at the Grammys."

While Nicole didn't actually appear at this year's Grammys, she did rock her iconic long auburn hair at the Oscars last month and had wisps of her long locks pulled out of a loose bun.

Last year, Nicole teased a snap of her wearing the short wig "on set" on her Instagram, but it was unclear what project the new look was for.

One thing is for certain, and that is whether Nicole's hair is in a pixie crop or cascading down in curls she always looks incredible!
