James Van Der Beek‘s middle child is stirring up the cutest buzz!
Annabel Leah, 5½, underwent a dramatic hair transformation on Thursday, getting the side of her head shaved to rock a cool new look that herPoseactor dad praised on Instagram.
In the first slide, of a video featuring Annabel in a stylist’s chair, the little girl looks stoked to get started, telling the camera she has been asking for the style “every day” and that it was only her second-ever haircut total as momKimberlyplays videographer.
The second slide features an “after” shot, showing the shaved side of Annabel’s head alongside her otherwise curly blonde hair as the youngsterthrows a fierce look at the camera.
“I don’t know if my parents would have ever let me do this … because I don’t know if I would have had the balls to even go for it. VanDerBeek2.0 ❤️,” father of five Van Der Beek, 42, captioned the post proudly.

Kimberly shared more post-trim videos on her Instagram Story, where Annabel says she had been asking for the style “all day” and proudly proclaims as she shows off her profile, “Look — I actually did it.”
“Can you prove that it’s not a wig to them?” big brotherJoshua, 7½, asks his sister, coming up behind her and gently tugging upward on her hair. “Look, it’s literally not a wig.”
“You can’t pull it off!” Annabel adds.
After her mom asks her how she feels about her new look, the little girl says “good” and hilariously likens the experience to her “Barbie thatshaved all her hair off ofthis side.”
