Life imitating art? Idina Menzel shares snap of 'impulsive two minute haircut' featuring bangs like her Frozen character Elsa

She has expressed interest in wanting to reprise her role in an onstage version of Frozen.



Now it looks like Idina Menzel is trying to build a stronger case to be cast for the upcoming project by actually looking the part.



The 43-year-old singer and actress shared a snap onto Instagram early Thursday of her new haircut featuring side-swept bangs much like her animated counterpart Elsa.

She won't Let It Go: Idina Menzel, 43, showed off her new haircut featuring side-swept bangs eerily similar to her Frozen character Elsa's look in the coronation scene of the movie



The new trim is eerily similar to her Frozen character's look earlier in the film during the coronation scene.

Idina couldn't wait to show off her trimmed tresses as she still had the black hairdressing gown on in the snap as she smiled for the photo with natural, complementary makeup on her face.



It seems as if the star decided on the hairstyle spontaneously as she captioned the picture: 'Impulsive two minute haircut... BANG! @tedgibsonbeauty.'

Celeb hairstylist Ted Gibson gave the Frozen star the new do featuring long bangs and disheveled layers.

Ted told Us Weekly: 'Idina's bangs were an impulse decision. We've been talking about it for a while, but this morning seemed like the perfect time to take the leap!



'I kept her bangs longer because I wanted the look to be more effortless and not as if it was freshly cut.'

Before and after: As Idina has expressed interest in wanting reprise her role as the 21-year-old character, celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson said that the new look 'can really take years off of any woman's face'

The hairstylist, who boasts A-list clientele such as Anne Hathaway and Lupita N'yongo, continued by saying the look has several benefits.

'Side-swept bangs are great for women of any age! Bangs are bangin'—they are flirty, sexy and also emphasize the eyes and cheekbones,' Ted added. 'They can really take years off of any woman's face.'

If the look is as age-defying as the celeb hairstylist says it is then it could definitely help the star's case in trying to reprise her role as 21-year-old Elsa in the on-stage version of the film that is currently in the early stages of development by Disney.

She was asked by Cosmopolitan in April about wanting to play the part live and responded: 'Yes! Sure! Absolutely!'



As Idina is known for being a Broadway performer, including a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Wicked in 2004, she could be a perfect fit.



She is not the only one interested in adapting her on-screen character to the stage, with actress Kristen Bell also showing an interest in performing as her character Anna.
