We must admit, when we first saw pictures of Crystal Renn as a blonde, we were kinda bummed. Obviously Renn is totally gorgeous no matter what her hair color is–but her new bleached ‘do (and especially those bleached brows!) made her near unrecognizable.

Happily, Ford has just posted a video in advance of some photos they’ll be releasing next week, that proves Renn hasn’t lost her modeling mojo despite the new ‘do. The editorial, shot by Paul Rowland at the 57 West 57 St. penthouse and in Central Park, is in celebration of Renn‘s “transformation,” and we have to say her hair looks considerably better. (Maybe post-ocean dip shots weren’t the greatest representation…)
