Natasha Bedingfield looked like a pocket full of sunshine at Wednesday night’s amFAR Inspiration Gala at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, where she glowed on the red carpet in a yellow Deborah Drucker gown. But her eye-catching frock wasn’t the only thing that had us doing a double-take—Bedingfield also sported a freshly cropped ‘do.

“I just thought it was time,” the “Unwritten” singer said of her decision to chop off her long locks. “I’ve had long hair all year and I just thought I’m going to go for the cut.” And we’re glad she did! The sleek lob, which she wore in a deep side part with her long bangs swept to the side, had an air of chic sophistication. While whether or not Bedingfield decides to keep her hair short may be unwritten, one thing is set in stone—the singer looks good no matter what.
