The post break-up makeover: Newly-single Michelle Williams debuts new edgy haircut as she bare her slender legs in mini shorts

She has cut quite a lonely figure recently after splitting up with her boyfriend of one year, Jason Segel.

But Michelle Williams, 32, has clearly put her heartbreak behind her as she unveiled an edgy new haircut on Tuesday.

The blonde debuted a new undercut hairstyle which saw the locks on the right side of her head shorter than the rest of her tresses.

The remainder of her bonnet featured a side-swept long fringe which fell into her usual short bob ‘do.

It’s a look which has been worn on-and-off by pop star Rihanna and was popularised by stars such as model Alice Dellal.

Peter Sarsgaard looks like he's been heavily drugged. I don't really care for Michelle's haircut. She's a cute girl, just not the most flattering cut for her.
