Kristen Wiig crossed over to the dark side with her latest look— and fans are loving it.

On Sunday, the "Bridesmaids" star hit the red carpet of the 2022 Critics Choice Awards trading in her signature blonde locks for a jet black pixie cut that complemented her edgy, sheer black lace look by Rodarte.

The 48-year-old, alongside "Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar" co-stars Jamie Dornan and Annie Mumolo, was on-hand to serve as presenter for Best Comedy to "Ted Lasso."

Wiig's raven coloured hair was a hit with fans online — and some even said they didn't recognize her at first.

"Is that a brunette Kristen Wiig or am I going crazy," another tweeted.

"Kristen Wiig? Damn," someone else wrote.

"Kristen Wiig looks so gorgeous as a brunette and a short pixie cut at the Critics Choice Award!" a fan said. "I’m living."

The star's daring lace dress combined with a pair of high-waisted black briefs is exactly the kind of fashion risk her fans have come to know and love.

In 2020, Wiig hit the red carpet of the 92nd Academy Awards wearing a red column dress with structured ruffle detail and black gloves by Valentino Haute Couture. The look instantly received the meme treatment, with fans on social media dubbing the look the "lasagna dress."

Later that year, Wiig defended the outfit choice in an interview with In Style to promote her role in "Wonder Woman 1984."

"I loved it, but I wasn’t sure I could pull it off," Wiig admitted. "My stylist, Karla Welch, said it was sick and that I had to wear it, though, so I did. I felt great in it, and I didn’t see the lasagna [resemblance] until later."
