I would definitely not have expected that (especially since it's a rather critical point that Fantine is blonde (it says her dowry would be gold and pearls, with the gold being her hair and the pearls being her perfect teeth).
These can't possibly be the best shots she's capable of with it, so I'll hold back a solid judgement, but I do get the sense that while it may not look bad, it won't be her best look. <i>The Devil Wears Prada</i> length and bangs are a hard combo to beat.
But kudos for her being brave enough to give this a go...
Anne wore a pixie wig for "One Day" and got a positive reaction she got from the crew and friends who weighed in. So she was going to cut her hair short for real, but Chris Nolan wanted it long for Catwoman.
I don't know about recently, but I was a kid Catwoman had long hair.

I think it's best to reserve judgment. Sometimes the first pictures don't reflect how the haircut looks usually. I remember when Alyssa Milano cut her hair, the first pictures were in People and didn't look that good. Later, her pixie looked great.
While Fantine is blond, she does sell her hair in the play. It isn't supposed to look good after she does that. Still, I'd guess they'd dye her hair blond if she was going to cut it.
she has had short hair in the comics for about the last 15 years... and for a short while in the 80s. i think it suits her personality better!! http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/9800000/Catwoman-batman-villains-9849972-524-792.jpg

Even the Today Show for Sunday talked about Anne's super short haircut which they said is not a wig but truly a short short haircut. Supposedly she is being hounded by the media to get photos of it. The Today Show did not have a good shot either.

She had the opportunity to play Fantine in "Les Miserable." That's a killer part that many many actresses would kill to play. It's coming out December 14, so people likely think there are Oscar possibilities.
Natalie Portman shaved her head in a movie that wasn't a legendary part in a classic book/play and wasn't going to get her an Oscar. The list of actresses who cut their hair for a killer role (e.g. Sienna Miller, Rooney Mara) is long. If Anne didn't do it, I'm sure there were a dozen other big name actresses who would've been in the salon chair in 15 minutes.

I believe she wanted to cut it for the role. I don't think a wig would have diminished the artistic vision of the film, but sometimes, actors want to take on as much of the physical manifestations of the person they are portraying as possible, that, plus the interview where she said she wanted to cut her hair off leads me to believe she wanted to, and this role was as good an excuse as any...
