Sound the klaxon: Penélope Cruz has blonde hair. Only two months ago, the actress went viral with a new short haircut. With her "glass bob", she attracted everyone's attention at an awards show in Los Angeles in January. Now, her hair is even shorter - and also much lighter.

We discovered Penelopé Cruz's new hairstyle on the Instagram account of celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips, who also regularly works with Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner. But what we immediately noticed about Penélope, apart from her bronzed glow and fluttery lashes, is her light, sun-kissed hair.

Normally, the actress wears her hair a dark, rich brown, which is similar to her natural shade. Now, she is sporting an even shorter bob and very light, honey-coloured blonde strands.

Hair stylist Pablo Iglesias was responsible for Penélope's new dyed-blonde hair, which she revealed at the SAG Awards at the weekend.

Her parting was low and the hair voluminous, with curled under ends and a wave through the front panel. Reminiscent of the on-trend Italian bob, it really brought out her new blonde hue, which is ideal for brunettes who want to add a little warmth to their hair or dip their toe into a lighter hair colour.

We can't wait to see what hair look Penélope Cruz serves up next.
