Ruby Rose has adopted a brand new look in the wake of her father’s death just days before Christmas.
The Meg star, 38, shared a video to Instagram on Monday which saw her rocking a completely shaved head as she spruiked the car brand Jeep.
Donning a very grunge look with a loose grey T-shirt and ripped jean shorts, the Australian actress complemented the ensemble by shearing all her locks off.
In the clip, Ruby donned a pair of dark shades as she explained she’d spent the last three weeks in Melbourne where she had been planning her father’s funeral.
‘I cannot thank everyone enough for the last 3 weeks in Melbourne,’ she began in the caption of her video.
‘From funeral planners like Ian from Botanicals. The incredible Teri Apartments, who moved mountains to extend my stay during their busiest time (Australian Open).’

Ruby went on to give a shout out to equine sanctuary Horse Shepherd before spruiking Jeep in the paid sponsorship video.
The Hollywood star’s fresh shaved look comes after she opened up about her late father and the devastating years of abuse he suffered at numerous orphanages and boys’ homes while growing up.
The Australian actress’ heartfelt comments followed the death of her dad Peter, who died just days out from Christmas.
‘RIP Dad. You leave me. Alone. With so many complex emotions,’ she wrote in a caption shared to her Instagram Stories last month.
Ruby shared pictures of her late father with her followers on Christmas while detailing the difficult relationship they had shared over the year.
‘R.I.P and Merry Christmas Dad,’ Ruby wrote.
‘I am glad we reconnected a few years ago, not because you had changed all that much, not because it brought me all that much joy, it’s actually been very hard. You know that.
‘You were very hard. I cut you off twice in that time lol. Once for a year. But our last emails were right before you died. Mine was a kind email and I’m glad.’

She also revealed her father had endured a tumultuous childhood and suffered abuse while at St Augustine’s Boys’ Orphanage and other boys’ homes across Melbourne.
She also slammed former Christian Brother William Houston who is currently behind bars after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting two boys at St Augustine’s.
‘I found it very hard to hear about what happened to you as a child,’ she wrote.
‘What happened to all of your siblings at the hands of St Augustine’s and other orphanages and boys homes in Melbourne. Brother Houston I hope you rot in jail.’
Ruby did not reveal her father’s cause of death but did hint at their difficult relationship.
She explained knowing about her father’s abuse helped her understand him better but did not excuse the suffering she endured at his hands.
‘None of this undoes the abuse I incurred down the line, but it helped me understand you,’ she wrote.
‘To try to understand you was to love you. R.I.P dad I’m very sorry no one protected you. I’m very sorry life was not so much more.

‘I’m devastated really. You’re probably blown away by how sad I am. If you can see me.’
Ruby ended her post by declaring that she had forgiven her father despite him never apologising for the abuse she faced.
‘I don’t think you ever really said sorry. Not really. You didn’t know where to begin, but I forgave you. And I still do,’ she wrote.
The former video jockey grew up in country Victoria on a farm with her mother Katia and dad Peter, who was a racehorse breeder.
Her parents split when Ruby was just one year old and she grew up as a ‘gypsy kid’ and ‘moved around a lot’ between Churchill, Gippsland, Surfers Paradise and Melbourne.
