It's just such a drastic change. As something we debate internally on a near daily basis, we thought we'd take it to you: Which shade works best? We're placing our votes here.

Blame it on our Old Hollywood nostalgia, but we love her as a Marilyn Monroe blonde.

Remember that time Cameron Diaz went dark? Oh, Cameron.
