Iris Law's New Buzzcut in British Vogue August 2021, Lensed by Alasdair McLellan

Model and new actor Iris Law, daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, debuted a new buzz cut in her fashion story ‘Radical Chic’ and interview for British Vogue’s August 2021 issue. Kate Phelan styles Law in punk-loving images by Alasdair McLellan [IG].

Law plunged into her first acting role in Oscar winner Danny Boyle’s ‘Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol’. She plays Catwoman, celebrated for her distinctive blonde buzzcut, in guitarist Steve Jones memoir.

Expecting that she would be asked to shave her hair, Law wasn’t. A wig would do just fine, leaving Iris Law disappointed. She shares details of her decision to plunge ahead anyway with the buzz cut and without regret.

“I wanted to do something that felt liberating. The day I shaved my head, I changed my life. I’ve never done anything like that before.” Hairstylist Anthony Turner did the honours. Law recalls bringing a bottle of Moët to pop afterwards. “I looked in the mirror and thought it was going to be emotional but it wasn’t. It felt so positive.” Responses from friends have ranged from, “Why did you do that?” to, “You look like a boy!” and, “Oh well, hair grows!” Does it bother her? “I’m just so confident in it that I don’t care,” she shrugs.
