Is Brad Pitt going through a bit of a polished phase? First seen on the Baftas red carpet last month, the actor swapped his long, dishevelled locks and unkempt beard for a sleek, straightened style and some well-groomed stubble.

Obviously, Angelina approves of the new look as last night, Pitt continued to show off his super sharp style at the premiere of the play, 8, in LA. (Co-star George Clooney was there too, looking equally dapper, but far less hairy).

While Brad will be pleased to hear that we also approve of his conditioned hair (here's a reminder of how it looked before), we'd prefer it without the wet-look shine he's got going on. That's not too much to ask, is it?

How do you rate Brad's latest hair do? Hot or not? Either way, here's hoping Brad and George bring their new play over to the UK soon...

Let us know how you rate Brad's look and see more of the star in his style transformation below.
