Here are some photos of Juliette Binoche, Jeremy Irons and Hilary Swank two days ago in Saint-Tropez. They were the celebrity attendees at the “official opening” of a new Bulgari store. Clive Owen used to do these paid appearances for Bulgari several times a year. I wonder what happened to his Bulgari deal? WHY AREN’T YOU CLIVE OWEN, HILARY SWANK?! But that’s not the point of this particular story. The point is that Juliette Binoche – who I love and adore as a person and as an actress – has gotten a rather dramatic haircut. This is how her hair looked in February:
Pretty standard, for Juliette. For as long as I’ve been following her career, she usually has shorter hair, which is fine by me because of her magnificent face. Her crazy-beautiful face allows for pretty much any hairstyle she wants. But this… this… what should I call it? And “extreme pixie”? I don’t know about this. I think Juliette may have (GASP) made a styling error. Not only is this unflattering, but it also looks like a really cheap wig.
A few other, random points about these photos:
*It’s impossible to NOT look creepy standing next to creepy Jeremy Irons.
*I love cabochon sapphires. Like, I want to marry them and have cabochon sapphire babies.
*I loathe Juliette’s jumpsuit too. It makes her look so flat-chested and the midsection is a disaster. She has a nice figure, this does nothing for it.
*Is this Hilary Swank’s only paycheck in 2013? How in the world did she get this gig? I imagine Bulgari paid her, of course, but why did Bulgari even ask her to come to this store opening? So weird.
*God, Irons is so creepy. In every photo, he looks like the kind of man who would marry his son. For tax purposes, of course.

Oh, that isn’t good. It looks like a cheap wig.
And what has Hillary Swank done to her face? It’s not just me – she looks strange, no?
agree on both accounts. Swank looks plain desperate.
Swank looks awful (haven’t missed seeing/hearing about her either) and Binoche must have lost a bet to get that cut …
I love her so much, which is why I want a better haircut for her.
Remember when Clooney was on ER and the “Caesar ‘do” was all the rage? I feel like she got a Clooney Caesar haircut circa 1998.
Hahahaha! That’s a fabulous image.
She does look Clooney-esque here.
I love short hair and I can’t sign off on this one.
Don’t mind Juliette’s pixie cut – she just needs to style it better with some good products. Damn does Hilary need a makeover – her hair is terrible – someone needs to tell her she’s not a mid-20’s ho.
Thant’s not a pixie. That’s a bowl cut.
no its not just you. she looks like a boy! and ew just no
She looks a bit like a monk, without the bald bit around the top! Maybe having a side parting and brushing it over a little to the side would have been better. She can normally do no wrong in my eyes (I love her films) but it doesn’t really do her any favours.
You know how some people just have the face for a pixie cut? Yeah. She is not one of them.
She’s really darling, usually but this haircut makes her look like she’s working at the food co-op in my college town. Very crunchy. Very severe.
I also feel her hair is too thick for a good pixie cut. A pixie cut is light and cute. Her hair is just too heavy for it. My mom has the same problem. Her stylist tells her all the time her hair is too thick for the style she wants.
This^^ 100%. A pixie needs to be light, breezey, whispy and piecey. And the hairline is much too uniform.
Quick! Call a code! Someone take the texturizing shears to it! Get the wax/paste, STAT, ‘cuz this pixie has flatlined!
Love Juliette Binoche, lego haircut and all!
Oh my gosh – “Lego haircut” is a riot. I don’t even mind the hair so much but I can’t get past the Lego now. I am just waiting to step on it as I try to cross the floor.
Lego hair cut…LOL 😀 She is still pretty, but yeah this hair cut is too severe for her. Maybe it would look better if she’s wearing a better clothes?
When bad clothes happen to good people…
I’ll always love Juliette Binoche (Cathy!), but that hair is horrid. Like a feathered bowl-cut gone terribly wrong…
I like her February hair more
I love the hair. The fact that she is wearing a jumpsuit and does not have makeup on is what ruins the outfit. She is better than a jumpsuit. Also, SHE DOES NOT HAVE EYEBROWS!!!! Or have they always been thin like that.
Jeremy Irons was creepy hot. Now he is just disgusting to me.
Her face is so beautiful I don’t even notice the hair.
What happened to Hilary Swank’s career?
Vulture did a “Star Market” on Swank a couple of years ago and one of the Hollywood experts they interviewed nailed the issue with Hilary Swank: she’s a good actress without an audience. Nobody says that Hilary Swank is their favorite actress.
She’s got 2 Oscars, but she can’t get butts in the theater.
Not her best, but she still looks pretty. I’m assuming the hair is for a role though. The real issue is her practically invisible eyebrows.
Hilary looks dreadful. Was she always that skinny?
All she has to do is sweep it back or to the side and she will be perfection again, just an unfortunate Lego hair styling decision. Weird to see her w/Irons, I will always remember them in the movie Damage together – hot, forbidden Father/daugher in law love – not to mention a young hot Rupert Sanders! He is super creepy now but once he was creepy hot.I think I just set some sort of record for creepy and hot overusage!
Are you sure you didn’t mean Rupert Graves, who played the betrayed son?
doh, Yes! sorry! I even had Graves in my head and typed out Sanders – what an insult! ;-0
Yes, I think it would look better swept to the side. But I don’t think she looks half as bad as the celebs walking around with the faux Skrillex: http://totalbettymedia.com/2013/07/11/trendy-hairstyle-alert-the-faux-skrillex/
Juliette can rock the short hair but the mop bangs makes her look like Noel Gallagher.
She has such beautiful hair, and I love that she wears it short, it suits her. I don’t think this is bad looking on her, it’s just that I LOVE her February hair more….it’s that classic Binoche look!
Either way, she’s an Awesome actress!
Oh Juliette no!ça ne va pas, pas du tout.
That sapphire necklace is spectacular!
ummmm she might not look so weird if YOU COULD SEE HER EYEBROWS. the lack of eyebrow creeps me out more than the haircut. good grief who did that to her.
oh, that’s unfortunate..
She needs to see the stylist that did the cut for the teen daughter on Blue Bloods – Nicole “Nicki” Reagan-Boyle (Sami Gayle). Her cut is severe but really cute and I think it would look good on any age. I have seen it sorter and a little longer. A great cut.
All I can think of is 1st grade and playing with the scissors.
That is one bad hairstyle. I don’t think I’ve seen many worse than this. At least it’s low maintenance for summer.
Yeesh. She used to look really good. That hairstyle just ages her and makes her look bad.
Thinner eyebrows, short hair/wig? and a weight swing, I wish not, but I have a friend who met the same problems with a clinical condition, hopefully this is not the case.
With a different outfit, stronger make up and a little hair gel, she would look fab.
She’s BINOCHE, can do no wrong in my book.
I do not like that hair cut.
Makes her look old.
Grow it out, love.
I went throught the whole piece thinking she was Isabella Rossellini and then, just at the end i realised she’s not!! Not a good look. no.
Hate it! Does not flatter her at all imo
“God, Irons is so creepy. In every photo, he looks like the kind of man who would marry his son. For tax purposes, of course”
I laughed so hard at this.
Lmao. Me too!
I don’t hate the hair, but the clothing and makeup are bad.
I love her, but I am not loving her hair here. It is pretty much the reason I would be too terrified to ever
get a pixie cut. I am convinced that it would look exactly like this on me. (sans the iconically beautiful face of course!)
The good news is that it won’t take that long to grow it out as she sports shorter styles usually.
I love Juliette but this haircut is horrid. It reminds of that episode of King of Queens where Carrie cuts her hair off and sells it for 3 grand so they can go on vacation but it looks so terrible that Doug is miserable lol
Oh, here we go! Found a video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Of5GEWmIANg&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOf5GEWmIANg
A haircut that looks like a bad wig and the eyebrows…maybe chemo?
was going to make a snarky comment but you stopped me in my tracks.
I thought the same thing. Except she might have put on some weight?
It’s almost unanimous, the haircut is all ways wrong. But then it is Juliette, she is a risk taker. She probably likes that it looks a bit off….
Hilary’s outfit is so weird. Looks like something a very sheltered person would choose to wear upon being given her first opportunity to visit the big city….
Swank’s expression leaves me wondering where The Creeper has placed his hand…
This isn’t really new, Juliette has had short hair in the past and wears it well. In fact, she had short hair in ‘Damage’, which she filmed with Jeremy Irons (very racy movie). It’s all in how her hair is styled. Not sure why all the hate for short hair… or Hilary Swank, for that matter.
….but Kaiser, have you seen Max Irons??? mui caliente!!!!

And he is tall too. 6ft 2in.
Oh dear… she looks like a Vulcan extra from Star Trek. No good.
Love the pixie cut. I have one just like it.
Hilary Swank looks like Seattle Slew.
Jeremy Irons gives me major creeps. He looks like something growing on the side of a tree trunk.
Has no one else noticed those shoes which make it appear as if she has colossal white feet, with toes dangling off the front edge? They are drawing my eyes away from the haircut, and not in a good way.
She looks like a monchichi. My STBXH also has this monchichi hair. I hate it and it is not flattering on anyone. Swipe the bangs to the side or something!
LMFAO. I had to look up Monchichi. That description is spot on hilarious, although, admittedly, I found them to be kind of adorable.
I was hoping that was a wig. She’s still beautiful even with a really bad haircut.
This is extremely unflattering. Halle Berry has a fantastic pixie cut. This just looks like she cut it herself, in the dark.
I think it could be much more attractive if it was thinned out and styled differently. She has such a pretty face. As it is in these pictures it reminds me of that Friends episode when Phoebe cut Monica’s hair and Phoebe confused Monica’s request for hair like “Demi Moore” for “Dudley Moore”.
on an american it would be “patient on a day pass” hair. but she’s french. so any wierd off thing is considered, and is, “chic”.
Hilary Swank looks tacky next to Juliette.
I love how Juliette isn’t wearing too much make up.
I honestly thought it was the premiere of their next film and I got really excited until I discovered it was from Bulgari
No, Juliette. Give it to Swank.
It’s just a flat-out awful pic all the way around. All three could look way better. It looks tossed together at the last possible second.
