For most of her career, Cara Delevingne‘s hair has been the same: long, blonde, and effortlessly wavy. In the past few months, however, she’s tried a variety of looks thanks to her role in the new film Life in a Year, in which she plays a cancer-stricken patient who has one year left to live alongside costar Jaden Smith.

The transformation began at Paris Fashion Week, when Delevingne debuted a new platinum bob at the Chanel show. At first, most thought she was just following in the foot steps of actresses Kristen Stewart and Zoe Kravitz, who both recently went platinum, but that was not the case. The model-turned-actress told USA Today that her new hairstyle was for her upcoming part in Life in a Year. “I have to shave my head for my next part, so I have to do something different,” she explained. “So I dyed it. Just for fun. Just to change it up.”

Then, Delevingne teased her millions of Instagram followers with a variety of hair experiments–including dying her blonde hair a shade of pastel pink, and posting a photo on Instagram Stories showing her hair on the floor, captioning it, “Oh no!” Soon after, Delevingne posted a selfie showing off an ultra chic, lightly pink pixie cut

Now, she’s debuted the completely buzzed look.
