Her long hair looked gorgeous, no doubt about it. But I like the short cut as well. It's a nice change -- and quite classy.

That's really gorgeous... Looks like she's gonna be in a Dick Wolf L&O show this year, so that might be worth watching.

What an improvement!
She is beautiful regardless of hair length, but the plain long hair style makes her look somewhat ordinary.
With the short bobbed hair she is exceptionally pretty, and she looks more stylish and fashionable. She is so beautiful and feminine, she could even wear ultra-short hair.
She does look beautiful in her new style (her dress looks good on her too!).
I hope to see her on shows like Law and Order.
If she can act, she would be a good leading lady in a movie.

Somehow I kinda knew you'd say that ... :-/

I'd have to agree that it could be all three, but my intention was to describe the short look. :-)

I'm going to disagree with you on its temporariness, though. Kind of like how Mariska Hargitay went short and then shorter, I have a feeling this is the proverbial dipping a toe in the pool, and she may wind up with something shorter down the line. But if not... she still won't be hard to look at.

While I generally like short hair, I find that whether long or short, the hair must be healthy to look good - though shorter hair usually can get away with not being as healthy and still look good.  Oh yea, a nice face and body helps also

She really looks good in the short bob 'do. 

That's it exactly Rod.
When an actress is playing the part of a sweet innocent 16 year old girl, she has long straight hair. When she plays the role of a grown young adult woman, she gets a shorter, sleeker hairstyle.

This is true in real life too.
I have known many females who wore long straight hair in their teens, but when they got to be in their twenties, they went to the beauty salon and got a short, feminine, stylish hairdo, a short bob cut, or a short pixie, or some other short hairstyle.

A female getting a short, sleek, attractive hairstyle from long hair is almost a rite of passage in modern society, the passage from girlhood to womanhood, from being a teenaged girl to being an attractive and fashionable young adult woman.
That is why many teenaged boys like long hair on girls, but many grown men like short, fashionable, hairstyles on beautiful grown women.
Many of the men I know over the age of 25 or 30, prefer short, attractive hairstyles on women, especially if the woman is very feminine. (But of course the guys I know are dudes like myself, guys who live in major metropolitan areas).

Most women make this transition from wearing long hair to a short, fashionable hairstyle, sometime in their 20's (although some make it sooner while still in their teens, and others later when they are well into their 30s).

There are of course many exceptions to this, and people, men and women, should feel free to wear their hair whatever length they like.

The shorter hair gives her more personality.  It's kind of a noncommited kind of style, though, so I guess she could go either way from here.
