Charlize Theron has opted for a '90s-inspired bowl cut for her appearance in Fast & Furious 9.

The Academy Award-winning actress made her debut in the eighth instalment of the action franchise, 2017's The Fate of the Furious, in which she played Cipher, a criminal mastermind and cyberterrorist who coerces Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) into working against his team by holding Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky) and their son hostage.

For her part in the movie, Charlize sported platinum blonde locks which were styled into twisted braids, but on Monday, she took to Instagram to upload a snap of Cipher's new hairdo - a short brunette crop with honey blonde highlights.

"She's baaaaack #Fast9," she captioned two snaps from the set of the film.

Charlize, 44, didn't share any further details about her latest transformation, however, her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel uploaded a post in which he explained that the bowl cut was influenced by "early images" of 1990s supermodels Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford by photographer Peter Lindbergh.

"I always feel so blessed collaborating with this insanely talented human @charlizeafrica. I was inspired by early images of Linda Evangelista shot by @therealpeterlindbergh. It took some rad people to make this one come to life," the hair expert captioned a picture of Charlize, before adding a vintage photo of Linda and Cindy and writing: "I was inspired by Linda Evangelista and Peter Lindbergh early '90s vibes for Charlize's new hair look. This image of @lindaevangelista@cindycrawford has been in my brain for a long time."

A number of Charlize's celebrity followers were quick to praise her bold new look too, with Lily Collins writing in the comments section, "Love this!!" and January Jones adding, "This hair is next level good. But would only look good on you."

Fast & Furious 9, also starring Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, and Helen Mirren, is due to hit cinemas in May 2020.
