Alison Brie [1] just dyed her hair blonde [2] for a role in a horror movie — and we hope both the new look and her character survive.

Brie was cast as a lead character in her husband, Dave Franco's The Rental. The film, which will be Franco's directorial debut [3], was the main reason why Brie went for the lighter hue. She posted a photo of herself with the new hairstyle with the caption, "When your husband asks you to "go blonde" for a role...you say yes," and tagged hairstylist Clarissa Anya.

Though we've seen Brie's hair styled in many different ways — like in curled, choppy layers for her role as Ruth / Zoya the Destroya [4] on Glow and in long, glamorous waves for her character Trudy Campbell [5] on Mad Men [6] — we haven't seen her with this light of a hair colour. Ahead, see Brie's new hair, along with some of her past looks.
