Goop goddess Gwyneth Paltrow announced back in May that she and celebrity hairstylist David Babaii would be teaming up with Blo Blow Dry Bar.

And now the official ad is here—and honestly, it's not what you'd expect when you think of Gwyneth + hair + advertisement. If you're like us, you probably expected to see a photo of Gwyneth's famous blond tresses—but you'd be wrong.

Instead, the ad is created by Babaii's favorite illustrator, Megan Hess, who drew a picture of Paltrow for the campaign. Hess has illustrated for some of fashion's biggest labels including Chanel, Dior and Balmain. 

The drawing of Gwyn is pretty accurate, we must admit—particularly in the face—her piercing blue eyes almost look real!

But Gwyneth has such fabulous hair naturally, we're wondering why they didn't go the photo route for the ad? Her hair sells itself.

Although, Hess definitely made Gwyneth's hair look its best. We've never seen it so voluminous! The 42-year-old actress is known for her pin-straight hair.

Gwyneth looks really good as a drawing. No surprise there. She looks red carpet-ready without a stitch of makeup on, so naturally her illustrated self looks amazing, too.

What do you think of cartoon Gwyneth?
