Hmmm…

Olivia Wilde Just Chopped Her Hair for This Unexpectedly Political Reason

Olivia Wilde Just Chopped Her Hair for This Unexpectedly Political Reason

Celebs switch up their hair all the time, so a chop needn’t have much of a reason behind it when it comes to Tinsel Town — a random Tuesday whim is every bit as plausible as oh, say, breakup hair. Olivia Wilde (who almost gave birth at a Beyoncé concert)’s latest haircut, however, seems to have done the deed with one *very* specific purpose in mind.


Taking to Instagram to show of her newly shorn locks, she wrote the following.

“Feeling myself apparently. Thanks to the master @harryjoshhair for the chop.”

NBD, right? Right… until you get to the hashtag. “#nomoremelaniahair.”

Ohhhhh. If you’ll recall, Olivia was VERY decidedly anti-Trump throughout the entire campaign — you might remember her unconventional pregnancy announcement denouncing the President-Elect’s treatment of women — so we can’t say we’re entirely shocked she’d want to distance herself from the future First Lady (and peeping the pic below, we guess we can see the hairsemblance).

It sounds as if Olivia’s maintaining her stance, election results be darned (or perhaps because of them)!

Stylist Harry Josh gave us an even better glimpse at Olivia’s shorter (and blonder!) ‘do, writing “When you blow @oliviawilde’s mind with a hair chop and highlights.”

Whatever her reasoning for the change-up, we’ve gotta’ say: Girl looks great.

May we all have such great locks in 2017!

Do you think Olivia is being petty or nah? Share with us @BritandCo.
