Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess, Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown), destined to marry a handsome prince. But when the big day arrives, the dream wedding turns into the darkest nightmare. The young bride becomes a part of a sacrificial ritual, thrown in the pit to sate the bloodthirsty beast – the fire-breathing dragon. The odds are slim, but the princess survives. Now, she’s the one to be feared of.
“Damsel” is now streaming on Netflix and invites you to a world where power and tradition are above all. While the fans are awaiting the long-anticipated battle between the princess and the dragon, we’re excited to see Millie Bobby Brown’s stunning makeover for the leading role. As the movie trailer shows, Princess Elodie will grace us with multiple hairstyles throughout her journey. The shorter the hair, the wilder it gets!
Millie Bobby Brown’s transformation into a princess starts from the regal locks. She wears her long red hair like royal regalia. The gold crown with red gemstones accentuates the rich hair tone. From alluring updos with face-framing tendrils to bohemian braided hairstyles – the royal glam never disappoints. In one of the movie stills, the princess shows off her dreamy braided half updo adorned with a bejeweled multilayer silver hair chain – a striking contrast to her copper locks.

As the story unfolds, the princess learns how to survive with the bare minimum. So, yes, spending hours combing and styling long hair is not on the menu. Every new trial affects the character’s personality and emotional state. We can see how her appearance later in the movie reflects her inner changes. Gone are imperial locks and elaborate hairstyles. Wild tangled hair and drenched bedraggled tresses keep her company now. She grows from a sweet innocent princess into a terrified and confused damsel with almost no hope.

At some point, Millie Bobby Brown’s princess trades her gorgeous mane for a shorter hairstyle. She cuts off her long locks with a knife, ditching her past with a cold determination and righteous anger. Her DIY cut is the final chapter before her victorious comeback to the kingdom.
Luckily, choppy bob hairstyles are trendy this year, so going shorter is exactly what a modern-day princess would do. The haircut becomes her form of empowerment and rebellion against cruelty and injustice. Someone messed with the wrong princess this time. Because she now has a heart of steel and a temper of a dragon.
