Jessie Buckley: The Ultimate Hair Transformation Queen
If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that Olivier Award-winning actress Jessie Buckley can pull off any hairstyle with unmatched grace and elegance. From her newly-chopped honey-blonde locks to her Sally Bowles-inspired crop, and the cascading brunette tresses she donned for her latest film Hamnet, Buckley has proven time and again that she has a face that suits every style.
Early Career and Iconic Curls
In unearthed photos of the Killarney-born actress, the 36-year-old looks almost unrecognizable, sporting fabulous brunette corkscrew curls. These curls were synonymous with the early days of her career, which began with her rise to fame on the British musical theatre talent show I’d Do Anything. Alongside fellow stars Samantha Barks and Rachel Tucker, Buckley competed for the role of Nancy in the West End production. Although she came in second, her talent and unique style were undeniable.
Hair as a Form of Expression
Buckley has revealed that hair is her “way of hiding,” according to a recent interview with British Vogue. However, according to HELLO!’s Lifestyle and Beauty Editor, Laura Sutcliffe, Buckley is nothing short of a chameleon. “Jessie Buckley is a true style chameleon when it comes to her hair. We’ve seen her sport a plethora of cuts and colors throughout her years as an actress. It’s refreshing to see someone truly embrace their role and immerse themselves in an image that they may not be comfortable with,” Sutcliffe explains.
