If there's one way for an actress to kiss a longtime character goodbye, it's with a major hair transformation. Remember when Emma Watson bid Hermione Granger so long with a dramatic pixie cut after a decade of playing the Harry Potter heroine? Well, now it's Natalia Dyer's turn. Just under a week since the Stranger Things season 5 premiere on November 6, she turned up in London sporting a platinum blonde ponytail—a far cry from the strawberry-meets-honey blonde hue she wore on the red carpet in Los Angeles.
With the fifth and final season of the long-running show debuting on November 26 (just over nine years since it first aired in 2016), Dyer can finally put Nancy Wheeler to bed once and for all. What will happen to her character? Who's to say, at least until the episodes drop on Netflix and a binge session commences. But I, for one, am living for the actress's ultra blonde makeover.
