I haven’t been watching Girls this season, but I watched the first season and Shoshanna was my favorite by far. That may have been down to the writing, her character was the “nice” and “normal” one, but I’ve been surprised by how different the actress is. It seems like I see Zosia Mamet on Go Fug Yourself more often than not. She usually wears some atrocious outfit that goes beyond “funky” and “bohemian” into just “bizarre” territory. At least she’s not cookie-cutter and she expresses herself as an individual. She seems like she’s fun, you know?
That’s why I guess I’m not too surprised to see that she’s dyed her hair blonde and is sporting some pretty extreme, unflattering makeup. It could be the bad makeup that’s throwing her off more than the blonde color, which doesn’t look suited to her.
This is the kind of makeup job you would do in high school and think looked hot. Bright, smeary red lips, overdone heavy liquid eyeliner and too-big eyebrows. I suspect that she wouldn’t look as strange without the makeup and photos bear that out. She was seen exiting the show with bare lips and she looks pretty and fresh-faced here.
There’s something really sweet about this girl, she doesn’t seem pretentious at all, but maybe she’s just a fabulous actress. She’s very convincing in the role.
In comparison here she is with brown hair. Still making the same makeup mistakes with that shade of lip color, but at least she looks more like her. She’s so pretty on Girls too, it’s kind of shocking to see her like this.

Ohhh her eyebrows! Yuck! She looks better here than on Mad Men, but yeah. She’s doing it wrong.
Her eyebrows are too dark.
The blonde is a big mistake, IMO, not flattering to her features. Maybe it’s for a role? Whatever the case, her eyebrows are a disaster.
I’m not watching this year either, but she was one of the few things I liked about last season.
She looks much better with the brown hair.
I’ve never seen her before, so having no basis for comparison, I thought the blonds looked very pretty. The eyebrows are horrid though. It’s not that they’re too dark; they’re too wild. Holy caterpillars!
Call me crazy but I like this girl’s style!
The blonde hair with thick, dark eyebrows looks kind of great. The make up not so much.
I am all over her pants in the first photos.
WHEN will people realise that blonde is not everyone’s colour? I hate seeing normal looking people turning into such wannabes just by changing the colour of their hair!!!!!
I don’t think someone changing the color of their hair makes them a wannabe in mist cases they just want a change.
Shoshanna is the “nice” and “normal” one on ‘Girls’? Seriously? She’s more neurotic than all the others combined!
Oh, and I like the blonde hair on her. She looks great.
No, no.. Definetely no.. If she is indeed doing the carefree bizarre thing, then what is that hair colour!
Girl…….. that lipstick is horrible, remove it and never apply it again.
The hair is fine but that red lipstick is awful!It hurts the eyes it’s so bright.
The blond softens up her face and takes away the focus off her face.
Like I’ve said ad nauseum: Dark brown hair is very unforgiving if you don’t have clear skin or a beautiful face because all attention will be on your face with dark hair period.
That’s why SJP has a shade of blond instead of brown.
I never thought of it that way…your statement is very true!
I actually think the blonde works on her.
She looks fine.
She’d look best with bright red hair like Julia Roberts had in Pretty Woman.
she has pretty hair, both in blonde and brunette BUT I think she should have stuck to her natural color, way to many blonde stars.
I like her better as a brunette. Also, she needs to wear more color and stay away from balck. That colourful dress looks really pretty on her
Yeah, that’s the only one I like. She wears that dress well.
She’s doing a play off-Broadway and I think that’s why she went blonde. She said on Letterman they start filming season 3 in a few weeks so I’m assuming she’ll probably go back to brown then.
But the lipstick is atrocious.
I think she needs to work on her makeup skills. I love her though, she’s a terrific actress.
I think she pulls of both colours but her make up is bad
She is just unattractive in general, doesn’t matter what the hair color is.
I agree. I don’t think it makes a difference what she does, she is a butterface lol
Brown hair, Blonde Hair – to me it’s just a bad look either way.
Obviously I don’t watch that show, so that’s my 1st impression looking at the pics.
That lipstick is GOD AWFUL. Not to mention it’s too thick and not even on her lips. GAH. STOPIT. You look like a damn clown (no offense to clowns).
MAD MEN! I knew I recognized her from something (thank you IMDB).
Yeah the lipstick, the haircolor, the outfits…all wrong. Fuggerz.
She does have nice hair though..is it real?
i actually thing she look realy better with blonde look !
I agree. I like the blonde.
The blonde hair isn’t that bad – she needs to thin out the eyebrows a bit, though.
Idk, I think this hair color looks kind of cute on her (at least she went with more natural tones and didn’t try to pull a trashy, single shade, double process Jessica Simpson butter yellow, you know?). I agree that the makeup here is all sorts of wrong and is just about ruining the effect. It seems like she wanted to do a “sexy” red lip to go with her new do but isn’t familiar with how to flatter her new hair color so she ended up with orange lips instead… She’ll learn 🙂
I actually prefer the blond, although it may actually have to do with the stling as well. On the show, her hair is brown and straight, almost mousy, and her hair has no highlights, so if she went back to brown, she should wear it wavy and/or get some highlights.
Totally agree that the lipstick is tragic, though.
Love her style. And love her on the show!!! So funny!!!!!! This season is HER season so far!
She’s totally fashion.
Wow, I think she looks like a tranny.
That is just…awful. Everything. The brows, the makeup, the hair. Just awful.
I have super pale skin (think Emma Stone) and blue eyes. I have wanted to dye my hair blonde for years but haven’t because I have very dark eyebrows. Now I know I made the right decision not to dye my hair blonde. I hate commenting on people’s looks, even celebs (I prefer to judge them on their idiotic actions), but that is not a good look for her. On a side note, her eyes remind me of Sarah Silverman.
I’m like the Indian version of her (think bushy eyebrows, similar face…seriously). Always thought I was plain, but you calling her pretty means I’m gorgeous too. Lol. I like her character in girls. She’s my favorite and really the only one I can tolerate. But I’m not a frequent watcher. I’ll just watch her if she’s on, the others are too boring for words.
She’s quirky enough that it actually works on some unsettling level. o
I don’t know her so it’s hard to make comments. But I think she should work on her style and body because she has the face type that doesn’t stay young very long.
