Charlize Theron did not look like Charlize Theron on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night.

The actress changed her usual blonde locks to a brunette bob and sported a slinky, backless blue dress. Theron was so unrecognizable, even people on Twitter began noticing.

“I know she’s like eight feet taller, but I thought Charlize Theron was Emilia Clarke with that dark bob,” Preeti Chhibber wrote.

Another Twitter user, Vanessa Friedman, added that Theron looked like iconic socialite Wallis Simpson.

Even Getty Images got confused by the actress’ new look. The photo company mislabeled Theron as fellow actress Allison Janney in multiple photo descriptions.
