French model shears off beautiful curls in favor of a cropped 'do

Noemie Lenoir before and after

Unbelievably, it seems the Britney look is catching on. Gorgeous French model and actress Noemie Lenoir, the face of Marks and Spencer and Next, was spotted in New York—with a freshly shorn blonde crop.

Noemie is barely recognisable without the signature golden brown pre-Raphaelite curls she normally sports in television and advertising campaigns for the companies she models for.

What was she thinking?: Model and actress Noemie Lenoir has cut her beautiful brown curls off for this severe blond crop.

With no clue as to why she’s undergone such a severe transformation, one can only conclude that she’s been cast a baddie in her latest film.

She is currently filming the third installment in the Rush Hour franchise with Chris Tucker.

The mother of one, who is married to French international and Chelsea star, Claude Makelele, looked like she was getting into character, as she sat stern, and unsmiling while lunching with friends at popular celeb restaurant Cipriani.

Let’s hope this attack of the crops isn’t catching.

Who will it strike next?

    Sad, isn’t it?

  4. Hakim Nuraldin Says:

    Maybe she’s trying to look like Kanye West’s girlfriend. What’s her name?

  5. CurlyCowgirly Says:

    I think it’s a nice change. It’s not like she’s stuck with it all her life.

  6. AlannahAngel Says:

    I actually think she looks gorgeous both ways!!!

  7. NoraCurl Says:

    ^^I agree with Gretchen. I like her better in curly hair. I have no problem with it, but it’d be sad to watch people wear crops just because their hair is “unmanageable.” That’s what happened to me in 2007; the hairdresser almost cut my hair like a boy!

  8. Suburbanbushbabe Says:

    She looks like an Amber Rose wannabe.

  9. missfizzy Says:

    This is a very old story, she cut her hair before Amber Rose was even on anyone’s radar, she did it for her role in rush hour 3 which came out years ago and her hair has grown back now. Not sure why NC is only just posting it now.
