2NE1 leader CL displayed a sleek new hairstyle on Instagram.

CL confidently wore her wavy and layered locks and showed it off in a series of four selfies she uploaded for her 2.3 million Instagram followers to see.

"I love the new haircut it suits you," "Wow CL you look more gorgeous," "You look so fresh unnie," fans reacted after seeing CL's new hairstyle.

The new hairstyle comes as CL begins her stateside promotions as a solo artist.

Just over the weekend, CL gained attention as part of DJ Diplo's newly released single, "Doctor Pepper" with Billboard reporting that the crossover Korean idol is preparing her full-length English album.

The collaboaration with DJ Diplo is "an appetizer ahead of her official debut single," adds Billboard.

CL has been garnering positive reviews for her part in the summer track from the likes of Complex and Vice.

"Behind the electronic-trap production, CL delivers a memorable and catchy hook that transitions into her solid verse that more than keeps up with Jody and Maco on the track," gushes Complex's Zach Frydenlund.

 "It's really easy to see why CL has made such a dominant entrance into American music; she keeps up no problem against Maco and Jody Highroller," says Vice's John Hill.
