Cristiano Ronaldo has surprised fans with a dramatic transformation shortly after his wedding to Georgina Rodriguez.
The 41-year-old Al-Nassr superstar has abandoned the familiar dark, slicked-back hairstyle that has defined his appearance for years and returned to training sporting a ginger buzz cut with a high skin fade.
It is one of Ronaldo's most striking changes of appearance in recent years and quickly attracted attention when photographs from Al-Nassr training emerged.
Ronaldo returns with completely different look
Ronaldo has generally remained consistent with his hairstyle throughout the latter stages of his career, making the latest transformation particularly noticeable.
The new look has even prompted comparisons with his former Manchester United teammate Paul Scholes, famous for his naturally red hair.
Ronaldo has now returned to work in Saudi Arabia as preparations for the new season intensify.
He was pictured training alongside stars including Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman under new Al-Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou.
Ronaldo closing in on 1,000 career goals
The hairstyle might even become the look associated with one of the biggest milestones of Ronaldo's extraordinary career.
The Portuguese striker currently stands on 976 career goals for club and country, leaving him only 24 short of the coveted 1,000-goal mark.
Ronaldo still has another year remaining on his lucrative Al-Nassr contract and will enter the new campaign with another opportunity to move closer to four figures.
Last season also delivered an important breakthrough for Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia as Al-Nassr finally captured the Saudi Pro League title, giving him his first major trophy with the club.
Ronaldo married Georgina Rodriguez after ten years together
The transformation comes only days after another major moment in Ronaldo's private life.
Ronaldo and Georgina officially married on Tuesday following approximately ten years together.
The couple held what was described as an intimate and private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, attended by their five children.
Ronaldo subsequently shared a photograph of their wedding bands on Instagram, publicly revealing that the couple had tied the knot.
A representative for the Portuguese star also confirmed the marriage.
"Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez were married today in a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, and are now officially husband and wife."
"The ceremony was a private and intimate moment attended by their five children."
The wedding came a year after Ronaldo and Georgina became engaged and marked another major personal milestone for one of football's most famous couples.
Now Ronaldo is back at work with a new wife, a dramatically different hairstyle and another historic target directly in front of him: 1,000 career goals.
