If you need further proof that dark hair is in for spring, Abigail Breslin is here to convince you. Following in Shailene Woodley, Taylor Schilling and Sarah Hyland’s hair-dyeing footsteps, the 19-year-old actress ditched her bright blonde tresses for a deeper, chocolate shade. Take a look at her moody makeover below.

“Mirror selfie feat. brown hair feat. reminder nobody puts baby in the corner,” the 19-year-old captioned the dark hair debut snapshot.

Breslin, who is set to play Frances “Baby” Houseman in ABC’s upcoming live Dirty Dancing reboot, was required to dye her strands a darker hue for the role, leaving behind her bright blonde locks and light brown roots.

Breslin’s fresh tress update comes just a few weeks after Hyland’s, her co-star in 1987 film’s remake, similarly dyed do.

The Modern Family star, who is set to play Breslin’s older sister, Lisa, spent some time in the salon chair at L.A.-based Nine Zero One, where hairstylist Nikki Lee gave the star’s textured bob an almost-black shade, called “truffle.”

So now that we’ve seen both stars’ dark new dos on social media, we’re more than ready to see them in action — on the silver screen! Now we just have to wait for a premiere date.
