Whether portraying Virginia Woolf, Queen Atlanna or Lucille Ball, Nicole Kidman is known for completely transforming her appearance for an acting role.

The 54-year-old has done it again as she traded her trademark long locks for a much shorter pixie cut on the set of her Apple TV+ series “Roar.”

The Oscar winner was almost unrecognizable as she showed off her new closely cropped strawberry blonde ‘do while posing amid a rainbow in the sky. In the snap, Kidman flaunted her bob in a profile shot while decked out in a navy blue sweater as she proudly held her left hand up toward the colorful spectrum of light.

"On set 🌈 ," she captioned the post adding, "#Roar #FemaleFilmmakers."

While Kidman’s look is most likely not a permanent chop, her fans were quick to chime in with their approval.

“This gives me Julie Andrews vibes from Sound of Music,” wrote one follower.

“This is so majestic and just fabulous!!! Go off my Queen,” added another.

“Simply stunning,” a third commented.

Kidman stars in the female-driven anthology series alongside Cynthia Erivo, Merritt Wever, and Alison Brie, which is based on Cecelia Ahern's similarly-titled book of short stories.

"Roar" will be a compilation of eight half-hour episodes - each one focusing on a different female point of view in a wide range of genres.

This is her latest project since completing her starring role with Javier Bardem in "Being the Ricardos," the biopic of legendary Hollywood couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

The "Aquaman" actress was previously seen rocking Ball’s trademark bright orange-colored hair emblematic of the mid-century Hollywood star.

Back in 2003, Kidman won an Oscar for Best Actress for her stunning portrayal of author Virgina Woolf in “The Hours.” In addition to dark hair, the role required her to don a prosthetic nose.

While a premiere date has not been announced, “Roar” is expected to launch later this year on the Apple TV+ streaming platform.
