So that bob was fake after all.
Fans had mixed reactions after Berry confirmed that she hadn't actually chopped her tresses, despite seeming evidence from her hairstylist.
"Don't ever do that again," one person wrote.
"Of course! I didn't believe it for a second!" added another.
"U look gorgeous with any hair style," said one more.
Berry's daring 'do inspired many memes on Oscars night, drawing comparisons to Josh Harnett's shaggy crop and that regrettable haircut from Fleabag.
Earlier this week, the actress even got in on the action, retweeting a silly video that poked fun at her bob.
While this particular hair change wasn't the real deal, Berry's experimented with a wide variety of styles over the years, from her iconic early-aughts pixie cut to sleek, straight strands.
