Evan Rachel Wood goes blonde, Kate Winslet picks polka-dots

Evan Rachel Wood may be busy giving interviews about hair-down-there, which totally freaks us out because we still think of her as the little girl from "Once and Again"  but when she stepped out on Monday at the premiere of "Mildred Pierce," we were way more interested in the hair on her head.

Wood has ditched her signature deep red hair for a bright yellow-blonde, and we actually think it suits her beautifully! She's still wearing the Dita Von Teese makeup, but she's foregone pin curls in favor of classic waves.

Meanwhile, on the same red carpet, Wood's "Mildred" mom Kate Winslet made a bold fashion choice with a whole new twist on the LBD. Winslet's form-fitting Stella McCartney number featured a curvy cut-out with a sheer panel and whimsical polka dots. She's toned down the bright platinum blonde that she shows off on the cover of this month's British Vogue for a sweeter, more natural color.
