Not checking out these dramatic transformations? Big mistake. Huge!

All eyes were on Julia Roberts this week, thanks to the Oscar winner debuting a banging new hairstyle that might just have you booking an appointment with your stylist to freshen up your own strands this spring. But she was far from the only celebrity to freshen up their look, with a Vanderpump Rules star shocking fans by chopping off their signature long locks and a Big Time Rush band member revealing his shaved head. And 9021-oh, did we mention Brian Austin Green decided to shake things up, dyeing his hair platinum blonde?

Plus, two Netflix stars' recent glow-ups left viewers shook, including Heartstopper actor Kit Connor's fitness journey and the reemergence of Gabriel Basso, who appeared in Super 8 and iCarly as a child actor, looking very adult in The Night Agent. They really do grow up so fast, don't they?

Stars' Epic Hair Transformations

Check out the most surprising celeb transformations of the week...

Brock Davies

While it's no Scandoval, this transformation is pretty shocking. 

The Vanderpump Rules star shocked fans when he chopped his long locks, sharing a video of his dramatic haircut ahead of the Bravo reality series' reunion taping March 27.

"It Really Is All Happening," Brock captioned the video, referencing his wife Scheana Marie's infamous tattoo. The Australian went on to explain why he decided to switch up his look, writing, "I wondered what kind of man I would be if I didn't have a man bun…"

Kit Connor

Prepare for your heart to skip a beat.

The Heartstopper star stunned fans with his fitness transformation, which was on full display in a YouTube video shared by powerlifter Nathaniel Massiah March 26. Viewers were able to go inside one of Nathaniel and Kit's training session, with Nathaniel noting in the title of the video that they were training for Kit's "next film." His upcoming projects include the films One of Us and A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow.

Kit initially began his workout journey after being cast on the Netflix series Heartstopper.

"It's based on a comic book and the character that I'm based on is like 6-[foot]-2, very big. And I was shorter than I am now and skinnier," Kit recalled in the video. "When it got announced, there were some people on the internet going like, 'He's a bit too skinny to play him.' I saw that and I was like, ‘S--t,' so then I just started eating loads."

Julia Roberts

We're just an E! staffer, standing in front of our hairdresser, asking them to make us look like the Oscar winner.

Julia showed off new blunt bangs on Instagram March 28, with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart creating the Pretty Woman star's new 'do for the Watcher and Wonders event in Geneva. "Banging out bangs," Stewart captioned a photo of Julia and her hairstylist Serge Normant

Brian Austin Green

9021-Oh my!

Forget Green, because the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum showed off freshly dyed blonde hair while walking the red carpet with his love Sharna Burgess at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 27. 

"Best date night," Sharna wrote on her Instagram Story of the couple's outing, which comes nine months after they welcomed their son Zane Walker Green. "This was super fun. We got all dressed up," the Dancing With the Stars pro told her followers before giving a shout-out to Brian. "Look at that handsome man."

Kendall Schmidt

That's a big time buzz.

The Big Time Rush band member showed off his newly shaved head on the red carpet at the iHeart Radio Music Awards on March 27.

"No hair," Kendall captioned an Instagram photo from the event, "don't care."

Gabriel Basso

TikTok's in shock over the former child star's glow up. 

Before his onscreen role as an FBI employee in Netflix's series The Night Agent, Gabriel appeared in many fan-favorite projects, such as the Nickelodeon hit iCarly, where he played fake Freddie, and the 2013 film The Kings of Summer. So viewers were surprised when the now very adult 28-year-old appeared as Peter Sutherland in the new action drama.

Gabriel's transformation was the focus of a TikTok shared March 28 that included a montage of throwback pics followed by current photos of the actor with an audio that says, "How does this turn into this?"
