Just when you thought your school crush on Orlando Bloom [2] had finally passed, here he comes with a new haircut [3]. On 27 June, the actor attended the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London where he shocked fans with a fresh buzz cut [4].

The last time we saw Bloom with a buzz cut was in 2018. Since growing it out slightly, he has been wearing a taper fade [5] religiously — until now, that is. Bloom's new look is textbook. He left about a quarter of an inch of hair on all sides of his head for a crisp and polished look that's most definitely a win for our eyeballs.

Buzz cuts, though quite a dramatic look, are super easy to style, especially for the summer. The cut has been worn by celebrities like Doja Cat [6], Maisie Williams [7], and Shawn Mendes [8], and we're not being dramatic when we say they all looked incredible in it. If you're considering the cut, it's always best to see a professional to ensure everything goes smoothly. Consultations are your friend, so sit down with your stylist and clearly communicate your expectations.

Take a closer look at Bloom's hair below.
