Kate Mara’s transition to golden starlet started this past December when she appeared at the premiere of Her. Getty Images Even though she’s not nominated for her role in
House of Cards, it’s truly going to be a
Golden Globe moment for
our cover girl, Kate Mara. Since mid December she’s been slowly switching up her auburn shade to golden
blond to the platinum pop you’ll see on the
red carpet tonight. At our photo shoot Mara cropped her hair, but unless a
startlet goes all-pixie she’s not necessarily going to light up the twitter world. Mara may be the exception to the current
cropping-craze with this bold switch-up! We think it’s a gorgeous and unexpected move. Just the sort of thing we’d expect from our sassy and savvy cover girl. We’re looking forward to seeing her shine on the carpet this Sunday. Do you prefer her as a brunette or a blond?
