Surprise Twist: Rosamund Pike Has an Undercut (A.K.A. a Partially Shaved Head)

Star of the upcoming Gone Girl Rosamund Pike surprised us a lot at our cover shoot, and here's one more shocker: She shaved the underside of her hair into an undercut, which she displayed last night at the What We Did on Our Holiday premiere: It's unexpected but playful, and that feeds right into her not-too-fussy style philosophy. Here's what she told the book's author Gillian Flynn about her personal style: "I look my best when I'm totally free, on holiday, walking on the beach. Paying no attention." A girl who doesn't want to try too hard—that's something we can all get behind. And having a little breeze on the back of your neck must be nice. P.S. Watch this clip of her naming five things she thinks should be banned forever.

Oh, wow—the bottom half of your head is shaved? So surprising and covertly edgy! Two years ago. Now, not as much. We barely blinked when otherwise proper-seeming Gone Girl actress Rosamund Pike rocked an undercut with her updo recently. Time for someone to dream up a new statement haircut.
