Oscars 2020: Olivia Colman pulled backwards as dress stepped on as she debuts blonde look

Olivia Colman was almost pulled over backwards while walking on the red carpet at the Oscars 2020.

The 46-year-old The Favourite star had shocked her fans by debuting new bright blonde hair but she shock of her own at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards.

The Broadchurch star arrived on the red carpet with her cropped hair in a light, icy shade.

Olivia teamed her new hairstyle with a long-sleeved, full-length midnight blue velvet gown with an open keyhole-style detail on the shoulders.

The gown was completed with a long cape in white and the same deep shade of blue, which trailed behind her on the red carpet.

This proved to be the bane of her red carpet walk though, as the cape was stepped on more than once, with video showing her being yanked abruptly backwards as she looked to smile for the cameras.

Olivia was a big winner at the Oscars last year and she had her hair cut into the short style when she started filming her role as the Queen in Netflix's The Crown.

She sported her normal dark brunette look at last week's Baftas in London.

Fans on Twitter were enamoured with Colman's look, with one writing: "OMG I AM NOT OK. BLONDE OLIVIA COLMAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE."

Another wrote: "Hello, hello: Olivia Colman is blonde and also, I'm dead. #Oscars."

"I think #oliviacolman as a blonde might have just tipped me over the edge, so FABULOUS I am DECEASED," another fan enthused.

One fan asked if filming on The Crown series four had finished because of her new look.

"Wait.......if olivia colman is blonde.......is the crown wrapped," they wrote.

Colman will present an award as she won a prize at last year's ceremony after scooping Best Actress for her role in The Favourite.
