Late on
Wednesday night Beyoncé posted photos of herself to her Instagram showcasing
her new pixie style haircut, following other stars such as Miley Cyrus.
Although her much shorter and blonder hair suits her well, making her strong
cheekbones even more profound and her
beautiful eyes stand out more, it has caused an outrage on Twitter as fans
divide over it.
For fifteen
years Beyoncé’s long locks have been part of her look leaving fans unsure of
the new style. Half of Twitter love it with people tweeting about how she can
do no wrong, that the short hair brings out her natural beauty and some even
tweeting that if she was bald and in a bin bag she would still be gorgeous! Yet
there has also been some Twitter outrage at the new style with people angry
that she has cut off her lovely locks. There have been tweets saying that unlike
Cyrus and Rihanna she cannot pull of the pixie cut, that she looks like Peter
Pan and even a drag queen!
It is not
clear yet why Beyoncé has gone for such a dramatic new style. Maybe she is
auditioning for the role of a female Peter Pan? Maybe she has been watching too
much of Saved by the Bell (see Zack Morris)? Maybe Blue Ivy liked tugging on
her hair too much? Or maybe Beyoncé just wanted to try a new style influenced
by many celebrities like Halle Berry and Rihanna?
Whatever
your thoughts on Beyoncé’s new cut are, never before has hair ever caused such
an outrage and gulf on Twitter. It is un-BEY-lievable!
