The Being Mary Jane star, 48, shared photos on Instagram of her new pixie cut that accentuated what appear to be her natural curls. “So, I did a thing,” she wrote in the caption. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new. #SummerChop #FlawlessChop #FlawlessCut.” She paired her new ‘do with large hoop earrings, gold necklaces and a bold, red lip. Her dramatic hair transformation drew lots of praise from her celebrity friends on Instagram, with Tia Mowry calling her new look “amazing” and Octavia Spencer deeming it “flawless.” Alyssa Milano also weighed in, commenting, “So beautiful. From the inside out.” Union showed off her new look in a follow-up Instagram post, in which her strands are slicked down with a more defined side part. This pixie cut is definitely a drastic hair change for Union, who often favors longer styles. Just a week ago, she was rocking a long, fishtail braid in a sweet family photo with husband Dwyane Wade, 39, and their daughter, Kaavia, 2. Earlier this month, she sported voluminous pigtails on Instagram. Back in April, she shared a sweet picture of her and Kaavia twinning in top knots. And in March, she sported long braids in a series of candid Instagram photos with her husband. Short hair or long, Union is always stunning!
