Stepping out at the Showtime Emmy Eve Nominees Celebration, Benedict Cumberbatch showed the world that looking sharp up top doesn’t have to mean sacrificing an extra 20 minutes in bed every morning.
The Avengers: Infinity War star ditched his wavy crew cut and opted instead for a buzzed style all over. Possibly in an attempt to combat that sweltering Hollywood heat.
Regardless the motive, the actor’s new lid serves as welcome reassurance that you don’t need to have a Tinsel Town bank balance to achieve red-carpet worthy hair.
The secret to his success lies in the expert pairing between fuzz and face shape - the close-cut style perfectly complimenting an elongated, oval-shaped face without adding any extra height to the head.
Of course, we’d all love to be able to wear our hair, styled to casual perfection à la Timothee Chalamet every day. However, the sad reality for most is that employing a full-time stylist to whip things into shape each morning is impractical, expensive and - let’s face it - probably a little excessive.
With that in mind, a Benedict-inspired buzz cut could be your ticket to sharper looks and a well-deserved lie in.
