Homeland co-stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis had one thing in common at the 65th Emmys in Los Angles on Sunday evening, and luckily it wasn't their outfits.
The pair both set tongues wagging when they walked the red carpet sporting significantly less hair than they had previously boasted.
At first glance, 34-year-old Claire seemed to have chopped her blonde hair short - however, as she revealed to E! red carpet commentator Ryan Seacrest, her new look was thanks to a 'faux bob' and not a pair of scissors.

The real deal: 42-year-old Damian Lewis showed off a new skinhead look as he posed on the carpet with wife Helen McCrory
Meanwhile, Damian, 42, showed off a skinhead look he was seen wearing at an Emmy's eve party at LA's Sunset Tower on Saturday.
Ever the gentleman, Damian stuck to a classic black dinner jacket and tie, while his beautiful co-star glittered in a floor-length gown.
Comprised of large iridescent sequins that glimmered like fish scales, Claire's dress incorporated a mesh front panel which held together a neckline that plunged almost to her navel.
Nearly nude: Danes, 34, looked elegant in a glittering lace floor-length gown with a plunging neckline
The mother-of-one arrived as a nominee in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for her role in Homeland, but the star left as a winner.
The My So-Called Life star received the gong with obvious surprise and gratitude.
The accolade was for her role as a terrorist-chasing CIA agent who must battle her own mental illness.
Stylish pair: Lewis, who plays Sergeant Nicholas Brody on Homeland, arrived at the Emmys with his actress wife Helen McCrory, who looked elegant in white Dior and David Morris jewellery
Elegant bob: Claire harked back to the Hollywood of the 1920s with her blonde bob and slick of red lipstick
Lewis, who plays Sergeant Nicholas Brody on Homeland, arrived at the Emmys with his actress wife Helen McCrory, who looked elegant in a white halterneck gown by Dior.
A pair of yellow diamond drop earrings and a diamond ring by London jeweller David Morris illuminated her skin, while she carried a Stark clutch bag.
Nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, Damien Lewis is a hot favourite to win.
The third season of Homeland is set to premiere on 29 September.
Winner: Danes nabbed her second Emmy in her long career

Meanwhile, this is not Claire's first Emmy.
The actress got her break on the cult-favourite My So-Called Life.
The show, which ran for only one year from 1994 to 1995, saw Danes star as normal but angst-ridden teen named Angela Chase.
From there Claire went on to a successful career in film but returned to television with the HBO movie Temple Grandin in 2010.
For her portrayal of the real life-autistic woman Grandin, the actress won her first Emmy award.

A stylish cast: Homeland's Morgan Saylor and pregnant Morena Baccarin were also on hand to represent the show at the annual awards ceremony
Casual couple: After the awards, Damian shunned a glitzy afterparty in favour of heading to the Chateau Marmont for a bite to eat with his wife, who had switched into jeans
