The 37-year-old actor attended the Women’s Final between Sabalenka and Pegula on Day 13 of the 2024 US Open.
Penn also used the opportunity to debut a brand new buzzcut hairstyle and a shorter beard.
The look was completely different from hairstyles Penn had rocked in the past, where he often showed off his curly dark locks.
The Gossip Girl actor paired his shocking new haircut with a khaki button-up shirt and similar material shorts of a darker hue.

The sporty ensemble was finished with white ankle socks and matching sneakers.
He smoldered at cameras while attending the New York event, which took place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Penn was also photographed in the stands, where he appeared to watch the match intensely.
END OF AN ERA
Penn quickly shot into the mainstream after starring as Dan Humphrey in the CW teen drama series Gossip Girl.
However, his portrayal of Joe in the psychological Netflix thriller series You made him a household name.
Penn’s change comes shortly after the series finished wrapping its fifth and final season this summer.
The actor shared a TikTok on August 15, using the “demure” trend to give fans a glimpse into his last day of filming for You.
In the video, Penn was seen rocking his longer, curly hair with a more clean-shaved face for his character.
Netflix announced the show’s renewal for its last season in March 2023, with an expected premiere date sometime in 2024.
Along with filming You this year, Penn also appeared in Ariana Grande‘s music video for her hit song, The Boy Is Mine, which was released in June.
PENN’S PERSONAL LIFE
The actor is married to Domino Suzy Kirke-Badgley, who is originally from London, England.
The two met in New York City back in 2014.

While Domino first rose to fame as a singer-songwriter, she is now a full-spectrum doula who can support individuals from preconception to birth, abortion, miscarriage, and postpartum.
In February 2017, the couple tied the knot in a low-key, intimate courthouse ceremony in Brooklyn, New York.
The small reception, which featured roughly 40 attendees, took place at the French-American restaurant Maison-May.

The couple welcomed their first child together and Domino’s second child, a son named James, in August 2020.
Domino shares her first child Cassius, 15, with her ex-boyfriend, musician Morgan O’Kane.
In March of last year, Penn spoke about fatherhood on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“Anybody who has kids, it’s a joy, it’s an immense – I mean, it’s wild. It’s lovely. It’s great. It’s a challenge,” he said.
“Shoutout to all the parents. Keep going! Keep going, it gets better.”
