Lori Petty must see this, look back at Tank Girl and wonder where it all went wrong. Probably when she agreed to be in it after Emily Lloyd was fired.
It's interesting how a shaved head affects the perception of a woman. Sigourney Weaver having her hair cut for Aliens was one thing, but having it shaved for the difficult but massively underrated Alien 3 was another. It gave Natalie Portman a previously unseen toughness in V for Vendetta, and GI Jane showed a very different Demi Moore than the one we thought of from Vanity Fair covers.
The transformation is not always viewed positively, of course. Sinead O'Connor was often regarded as at best scary, at worst insane, from the moment she first registered on the collective conscioousness with Mandinka, and Brittany Spears went from being pop princess to Trailer Park Trash with one pass of the barber's clippers.
Perception of beauty will be argued about until the sun turns red giant and scorches the earth before swallowing it. But, to my jaded eyes at least, Ms Dormer's haughty good looks have been rather enhanced by the procedure.
