Kaley Cuoco is not hiding her new pixie cut from her bosses at The Big Bang Theory . Of course, shielding her new look from the eyes of producers would be hard – given that Kaley has been strutting her fashionable short hair all over Instagram and at media events.
Now, she’s fessing up to TV Line that the folks at Theory had a sneak peek at her rapidly shrinking locks before last season’s wrap party . Their reaction? “The producers loved it,” she said. That was for the first cut, however – not the full-on snip-fest she revealed to fans a couple of weeks ago, including on the pages of The Inquisitr.
So, will Cuoco’s character, the next door neighbor with the mysterious lack of a last name , Penny, debut a new look in the fall?
Cuoco says she hopes so.
T.V. blogger Matt Carter pointed out that style evolution is not a hallmark of Theory – unlike other shows, the fashions of the show’s main characters don’t change very much season to season. But if Kaley has her way, Penny may be a long-haired beauty no longer. TV Line quotes Cuoco as saying :
I’m hoping Penny will keep the haircut, that’s my goal. The finale wasn’t a ‘To Be Continued,’ so I don’t see any problem with it. People change, people get haircuts, so I think this is a realistic move for Penny. Fingers crossed!
Meanwhile, Kaley told People last week that the inspiration for the haircut was the look Michelle Williams sported in a recent Louis Vuitton campaign. She told the magazine:
I loved that haircut so much. I didn’t try to copy it, but I liked that look on [Williams].
And Kaley had nothing but high praise for her new hair , calling it more adept to satisfy her style moods than her long hair:
It’s funny, I actually feel like I can do this hair a thousand times more differently than I could do with my long hair. I feel like it can be edgy, it can be cute, 60s… kind of whatever I’m feeling.
If the powers that be at The Big Bang Theory can’t envision Penny with a pixie cut, they do have other options. As Kaley told a recent Hollywood Reporter round table, she’s been outfitted with stranger things than a wig or extensions on the show :
My character was in an awful movie called Serial Apist , so I had full monkey makeup head to toe.
If Cuoco’s on her bosses’ good side, they won’t be dressing her up in unattractive hair anytime soon.
