Former world number one Maria Sharapova unveiled a new, short haircut on her Facebook page to rave reviews from her seven million fans.

“So what do you guys think?” she wrote. “I kind of love it!”

Sharapova wears this with style and grace. Then again, she’s such a beauty that she’d probably be able to rock a buzz and pull it off.

Sharapova has mostly kept to the same hairstyle since making her WTA debut as a teenager in 2002. She’s favored a long ponytail and visor combination for much of her career.

UPDATE: It seems as though Sharapova was trying to pull a fast one on her seven million fans. Those gorgeous blonde locks remain untouched. Sharapova explained the ruse on her Facebook page.

“Wow, when I posted those photos with the short hair I had no idea everyone would all go bananza…I would like to show you the below pictures...my hair is still long...and blonde...and well it’s pretty much the same!”
