James Charles doesn’t look the same anymore.

The YouTube star and makeup guru appears to have shaven his head completely bald, and the surprising transformation has sisters doing a double-take. What’s more, Charles even posted pictures of him rocking his bald head while stepping out at Boa Steakhouse in Los Angeles on last night (February 11).

According to outlets, Charles even stopped to speak with videographer Kevin Wong about his drastic new look, which he claims is “real.”

When asked on video about his new hairstyle, Charles replied, “Just trying something new,” confirming that he really “did” shave his head. “Do you like it?” Charles asks in the clip, adding, “It’s gonna be my new look. It’s real. I just did it today.”

Charles' Sisters (his fans) are totally shocked by the dramatic hairdo, which has sparked hundreds of memes online.

“I thought it was Cynthia with the tree in the background,” one Twitter user joked, referring to the doll from Rugrats.

“B—h u look like voldemort if he was gay," another fan wrote, while someone else quipped, “BREAKING: James Charles to play Jeff Bezos in new biopic. Expected to hit streaming platforms this summer.”

Other internet-famous stars, like Keemstar, however, aren't buying it.

“Can we please cancel James charles for making fun of bald people??? Super offended right now!!” Keem tweeted before sharing a close-up photo that appears to show Charles wearing “a bald cap.”
