Model Ireland Baldwin, daughter of actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, showed off her new look in an Instagram post on Saturday.

The model cut off her long red locks and bleached her newly buzzed hair which she debuted to her followers. "Do things that scare you. Do things that other people say you'll never do," Baldwin captioned the photo on her Instagram Stories.

Baldwin opened up about her hair journey in her Instagram Stories, writing "My hair was destroyed by years of bleach and modeling and bullshit since I was 17. It's long overdue for a restart/refresh. I've always wanted to do this, but I was always scared. Now that I don't care about what other people thing, I feel more beautiful than ever." 

At the bottom of the picture, she added "GI Jane/Evey Hammond level unlocked," making a reference to iconic bald female characters in pop culture. 

As a farewell to her tinted locks, Baldwin wrote "Bye red villain era … We will miss you," in a second Instagram Story.  

Basinger commented on her daughter's post with words of support and encouragement. "This is my baby … Don't tell her not to do something ... because she will … I'm a witness to that and have been for many years … Simply beautiful," the actress wrote alongside many applause emojis. 

Baldwin's hair stylist, Hannah Bonetti, was also tagged in her daring Instagram post. Bonetti shared a video of the process on their own page as well. In the footage, Baldwin grabs the razor and shaves a few strands of hair off herself. Bonetti wrote in the caption, "We were planning on a big change (like, bangs), but neither one of us knew our session would end in a transformation of this magnitude."

The hairstylist went on to express her gratitude for Ireland and commend her "radical" moment. 

"Grateful to have clients who bring all of themselves into my chair and trust me with moments as radical as this. Today was a celebration of shedding that which no longer serves us," Bonetti continued. 

Baldwin is known for her candor and transparency on Instagram. In March, she shared images of herself having an anxiety attack on her page, citing coffee as the trigger.
