Beyoncé reported, via Instagram, that she pedaled her way to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the final concert of the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour before she takes off for the U.K. But her earth-friendly form of transportation wasn’t the only surprise she had planned: She uploaded three pics of her newly sheared, blonde pixie to her feed late last night and set the Twitterverse abuzz. (I like to think of Queen Bey breaking out the scissors as the beauty equivalent of the big reveal of Prince George Alexander Louis.) While she won’t be whipping her signature mermaid waves anytime soon, I’m sure she’ll find a way to rock this short and chic cut onstage. And I can’t help but wonder if Beyoncé’s inspiration was Rihanna’s curly crop, which she sported earlier in the week, or if it was just an unfortunate case of bike-helmet hair that fueled this chop viewed round the world.
