Michelle Yeoh is back again with another dramatic hair transformation - and this time it looks like she's gone for the chop.

Arriving at the Star Trek: Section 31 premiere in New York on Wednesday (22 January), Michelle debuted a blunt bob which was cut sharply along her jawline, pair with a full fringe.

The choppy cut frames her face perfectly, accentuating her cheekbones and jawline. While many of us may be intrigued by trying out a bob, it can be a terrifying jump to go the whole way at once.

Michelle, however, has shown us that the best way to achieve a dramatic change is to do things in stages, making the final look a gradual transition which should be easier to manage.

For example, earlier this month we spotted Michelle sporting a flattering fringe, which we'd seen on her before, only for it to disappear a couple of days later, making it likely a clip-in.

Adding a temporary fringe is a great way to test out the style, and it appears Michelle was taken with it as she has now taken the look a step further with a her full bob.

And, while her brand new hairstyle looked sleek and modern on the red carpet, we do wonder whether it will be hear to stay. Given Michelle's use of temporary extensions in the past, could her bob in fact be a stylish wig?

We'll have to keep an eye out over the coming days but, either way, she looks fabulous!
