Zendaya is showing off her new hairstyle, and we love it!
On Thursday, December 16, the 25-year-old actress, who plays Michelle "MJ" Jones in Marvel's Spiderman franchise, debuted the chic hairdo on her Instagram Story.
"It was time for a change," Zendaya wrote alongside a bathroom mirror selfie that captured the entertainer rocking a sleeveless floral outfit and a new shoulder-length auburn-colored bob.

The Disney alum's new look was not only stunning, but it appeared to be a tribute to the original Mary Jane "MJ" Watson's iconic red hair from the Spiderman comics.
The actress Kirsten Dunst donned a similar shoulder-length red hair when she played the fictional character in the early 'Spider-Man' movies with lead actor Tobey Maguire.
Zendaya's "MJ" inspired look came a day before the highly anticipated third part of the Spiderman franchise, "Spider-Man: No Way Home," was released in theaters.
In addition to the new hairstyle, the Emmy winner also gushed about her co-star and boyfriend, Tom Holland, on Instagram.
The "Dune" actress penned a sweet message expressing her pride for the actor's achievements along with two snaps of the 25-year-old wearing a spiderman costume.
The first picture showed Holland suspended mid-air by cables, while the second was a throwback image of the entertainer as a child. The caption read:
"My Spider-Man, I'm so proud of you, some things never change and good thing♥️"
The "The Greatest Showman" star has nothing but love and the highest praises for her man as she previously commended his acting skills in October.
During an interview with InStyle magazine, the former teen idol stated that she respected her boyfriend's passionate performance as Spiderman, primarily how he handled the pressure of being a superhero.
Zendaya Wants To Add Director To Her Many Accolades
The 25-year-old entertainer has achieved various awards for her exceptional performances on TV and the big screen, but the Disney album's ambitions don't end there.
Earlier this month, The Blast revealed that the "Malcolm & Marie" star hoped to direct movies in the future, a confession the actress made during her discussion with Interview Magazine.
The "Shake It Up" star stated that her passion for directing was one of the reasons why she spent a great deal of time on and off film sets to learn the tricks of the business. She said:
"I go around and I ask our crew members, 'What are you doing today? Can you explain it to me?' Because we've got some real vets in the game. So, the hope is that I'll be able to, one day, make the things that I want to see."
Regarding what type of movies the Saturn Award winner would like to direct, the "Neverland" singer stated that she would love to create a simple romantic story centered around two Black girls.
The season of love was shining brightly on the "K.C. Undercover" star as The Blast previously reported that the California native was having a great time with her boyfriend.
The pair have publicly shown their support for each other, especially in their careers, given that their relationship blossomed from shooting the Spiderman movies.
