Ann Curry is back and bolder than ever!

The broadcast journalist made headlines last night anchoring NBC Nightly News filling in for Brian Williams, marking a notable television appearance since her dismissal from Today last summer. 

And while her fans welcomed her return with supportive tweets, she made certain there was more to buzz about than just news headlines of the day.

The 56-year-old anchor debuted a fresh new haircut on air—a bouncy bob that's inches shorter than the 'do we're used to. 

And while we totally approve of her refreshing beauty makeover, the Daily Mail reports that Curry caused quite a stir at the network for disregarding the rather important rule that any changes made to physical appearance must be approved by management beforehand. 

Oops.

Looks like Ann is flaunting her independence these days!

She also rocked a matte red lip and a crisp white blazer for a style statement that oozed utter confidence.

What do you think of Ann Curry's makeover?
