‘Looks So Much Better’: Fans React to Demi Moore, 62, Ditching Her Signature Long Hair for a Shorter Cut – Photo
Fans are raving about the shorter haircut Demi Moore rocked in a recent photo she shared online. The moment follows another instance where she made headlines for her interaction with a star at the Oscars.
On April 3, 2025, Hollywood icon Demi Moore, 62, dazzled her followers with a hairstyle switch-up. While her Instagram post, which featured an adorable, furry special guest, was about promoting the upcoming season of her show, “Landman,” netizens could not stop swooning over her hair. Many believe it suits her better than her usual style.

The photo Moore chose for the announcement was anything but a routine promo shot. Standing in what appeared to be a behind-the-scenes hallway, she cradled her pint-sized pup Pilaf in a cozy beige cardigan, flashing a relaxed smile that hinted at both joy and quiet confidence.
But it wasn’t just the cute canine or the casual chic outfit — denim jeans and soft ballet flats — that captured attention; it was her hair.

Gone were the famously long, cascading tresses that had become part of Moore’s Hollywood identity. In their place, a shoulder-length cut softly waved around her face, full of movement and life.
The new style framed her features with a youthful ease, balancing polish with approachability. Parted slightly off-center, the dark shade gleamed under the lights, a subtle nod to reinvention while retaining her trademark elegance.

In addition to a photo, Moore shared a video that added another layer of charm. In it, she strolls down the hallway with Pilaf leading the way on tiny, determined paws.
Crew members pause what they’re doing, drawn into the moment, smiling and cooing at the little dog’s presence. Alongside her post, Moore captioned, “@landmanpplus is officially back in production for season two!”

Upon seeing a post we shared asking the public what they think of Moore’s striking new cut compared to her signature style, our readers flocked to the comment section, expressing their opinions.
A wave of positivity flooded the thread, with one AmoMama reader remarking, “Short looks more natural and younger,” while another echoed a similar sentiment, “Much more age appropriate!!”
The praise continued, as someone else declared, “I hope she has had it cut. Old hair is all wispy. That looks so much better. 👏” and another admirer enthused, “That’s a very flattering cut for you ❤️.”
Others weighed in on the transformative power of the shorter length. Some suggested the look made her appear significantly younger, and one AmoMama reader emphasized that while the shorter style offered a youthful flair, ultimately, “whatever she likes is the best answer.”
Another comment suggested the shorter style was especially “becoming for a woman of a certain age,” framing it as a flattering evolution. Still, not all feedback leaned in the same direction.
A few loyal fans of Moore’s traditional long locks expressed their hesitance. An AmoMama reader feels the short style actually ages her, while an Instagrammer questioned, “Did she cut her beautiful shiny black hair? I hope not.” That same person added that in their view, long hair tends to appear more youthful on older women.
The split in opinion didn’t dull the buzz, though — it amplified it. Whether cheering her on or holding out hope for a return to her iconic long mane, one thing was clear: Moore’s new look had people talking.
As someone so widely discussed in the public eye, Demi Moore is no stranger to making headlines — whether it may be for her hair/appearance or actions.
Not too long ago, the actress garnered public attention, yet again. This time, it was for an interaction she shared with fellow industry heavy-hitter and “Ghost” co-star Whoopi Goldberg at the Oscars on March 2, which a lip reader deciphered.
The heartwarming moment happened on the red carpet outside the Dolby Theater before the event. Moore and Goldberg reconnected 35 years after their film with the late Patrick Swayze premiered.
Both actresses looked stunning — Moore in a shimmering silver gown and Goldberg in an equally shiny deep blue dress. At one point, they hugged, held hands, gazed into each other’s eyes, and posed for pictures together.

According to lip reader NJ Hickling, who analyzed what the duo said to one another amid the bustling crowd, Goldberg responded, “I’m fine,” when Moore asked, “How are you?”

The conversation continued, with the “G.I. Jane” star suggesting, “Let’s get a photo,” to which Goldberg replied, “Together, I’d like to.”
Moore then tried to direct their pose, saying, “Let’s stand back,” but the co-host of “The View” humorously admitted, “I don’t pose.”

Unfazed, Moore gently rubbed the “Sister Act” star’s shoulder before reassuring her, “That’s okay.” In a video shared by Variety on X, Moore was seen complimenting Goldberg.
While most of their conversation was inaudible, Moore could be heard telling Goldberg that she looked “gorgeous” in her Christian Siriano gown. Delighted, the television personality responded, “I feel kind of cute.”
Moore then enthusiastically replied, “You do look kind of cute!” Hickling later confirmed that Moore had indeed complimented Goldberg, telling her she looked “cute” in her dress.
Some guests stopped to capture the actresses’ memorable reunion on their phones. Although brief, their interaction at the event in Hollywood, California, was emotional and nostalgic.
Before the event, a Canadian entertainment reporter stopped Goldberg for an interview. He recalled that “Ghost” earned her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the ’90s and how this year her co-star was nominated for Best Actress for her role in “The Substance.”
When asked what she thought about Moore’s performance in the 2024 film, Goldberg responded, “I thought the movie was great. I loved it. I had a great time.”
She continued, “I loved seeing the end, which made me very happy. It’s a great show. It’s a great film. She did a great job, and my fingers are crossed for her.”
In the film “Ghost,” where Moore and Goldberg first shared the screen, Swayze played Sam Wheat, a murdered man whose spirit lingers to protect his lover, Molly (Moore).
To warn her of danger, he seeks help from reluctant psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg). And while Goldberg won an Oscar for her performance in the film, Moore left the Oscars empty-handed this year.

As previously reported, the night of celebration quickly turned into a storm of controversy after the Best Lead Actress award was announced. Fans expected one outcome — but the Academy had other plans.
The 2025 Academy Awards saw fierce competition in the Best Lead Actress category, with nominees including Moore, Cynthia Erivo, Mikey Madison, Fernanda Torres, and Karla Sofía Gascón.
In the end, the Oscar went to Madison for her performance in “Anora,” a romantic comedy. However, the result did not sit well with many viewers. Social media erupted with reactions, as netizens argued that Moore was more deserving of the award.
On X, an observer called Madison’s win a “slap in the face for Demi Moore.” Another person also observed, “Demi’s reaction was so painful to watch, you can see she was completely shocked, that was her award, it was her time, and the Academy took it away from her. Gosh, I am so furious.” Someone else added, “Demi wasn’t pleased.”

Others focused on Moore’s visible reaction during the announcement. One person simply wrote, “Demi Moore’s reaction,” accompanied by four crying emojis. Another penned, “Wow, Demi was really expecting it [sic].”

Some found the moment heartbreaking, with one spectator stating, “Breaks my heart looking at Demi. She wqs [sic] so nervous, breathing heavy, thinking this was her moment—and was robbed.”

Despite the outrage, some balanced their disappointment with praise for Madison. “Anyway, I’m happy for Mikey Madison, she was great, but also sad for Demi Moore. You could see on her face that she was really disappointed,” one observer shared.

Another expressed a similar sentiment, “Congratulations to all the winners at the Oscars! Ms. Demi Moore, heart-wrenching to see you not winning, but more projects to come for you, and hopefully, you’ll win one someday!”
Horror fans also voiced frustration, pointing out that the genre is often overlooked at major awards shows. “My heart broke as much as Demi Moore’s did when she didn’t hear her name. This was her year for sure. Horror always [sic] getting unfairly treated!” a commenter lamented.

As the conversation ensued online, Madison’s victory remained a defining moment in her career, while Moore’s supporters continued to argue that “The Substance” star was robbed of what they believed was rightfully hers.
Adding fuel to the debate, lip reader Nicola Hickling weighed in on Moore’s reaction as Madison’s name was announced.

Speaking to DailyMail, Hickling analyzed the brief moment and claimed that Moore muttered the word “nice” but did so without a smile. “Her body is almost nodding like she had to force herself to say it,” Hickling observed, suggesting the actress was masking disappointment.

Madison’s portrayal of her character’s emotional rollercoaster in “Anora” won over audiences. In the romantic comedy, she plays Ani, a Brooklyn escort who impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch.

What starts as a whirlwind romance quickly turns into chaos when his powerful parents arrive from Russia, determined to annul their marriage.
But Moore was no underdog in this race. Her haunting performance in “The Substance” had already earned her industry-wide recognition. As Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading celebrity desperate to reclaim her youth, Moore delivered a chilling and transformative performance.
The movie, a gripping blend of horror and sci-fi, showcased her ability to push boundaries. While the Oscar slipped through her fingers, she had already won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture and a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.

Though the Academy may have ruled in Madison’s favor, Moore’s fans did not give up hope. If anything, they saw this as just another chapter in her long and storied career — one that, in their eyes, still deserves an Oscar-worthy ending.

Moore’s reaction to Madison’s win wasn’t the only highlight of the evening. Many also focused on her dazzling fashion at the event. The actress arrived at the awards show in a shimmering ensemble. While many admired her elegance, others speculated that her appearance had changed, sparking debate on social media.
The 62-year-old actress graced the red carpet in a custom Armani Privé gown by Giorgio Armani, its intricate embellishments and sculpted silhouette enhancing her striking presence.

Online photographs captured her from multiple angles — one close-up showcasing her smooth complexion and smile, another featuring her full-body pose as she waved, and a third depicting her inside the venue.
However, reactions online were divided. “That doesn’t even look like her face anymore. Am I the only one that sees that?” one person commented. Another wrote, “Her cheeks and smile look odd to me.” A third briefly remarked, “Implants.”

One critic questioned why people alter their faces instead of embracing natural aging. Another viewer pointed out facial proportions, noting that something about the balance of her features seemed off.
On the other hand, supporters defended her. A fan complimented her look, calling her gown “classy” and remarking on how youthful she appeared. A fellow admirer echoed the same sentiment, “Demi is beautiful!!! Classy always!!! ❤️.”
