Jennifer Aniston's new look is no accident — a source reveals to Breaking Celebrity News her shorter hair and piercings are part of a determined plan to give herself an edgy makeover and once again become a fashion icon.

In fact, Aniston's new style guru Kate Young is behind the change and fans can look forward to much more to come!

"Jen's new look is far from the nonchalant boredom-driven choice that she's playing it off to be,” an insider dished.  "This change is entirely the creation of Kate, who is so influential in the New York fashion magazine scene.  Kate will make sure magazines are using models with Jen's new hairstyle and overall look by February."

Aniston recently debuted a short A-line bob hairdo: As Breaking Celebrity News has reported, Aniston said the cut was a necessity after her hair was damaged by a Brazilian Blowout.

She also shrugged, "I was ready for a change."

In addition, the former Friends star said she spontaneously decided to get an upper ear cartilage piercing.

But the source told Breaking Celebrity News it's all part of a master plan, in part sparked by her fiance Justin Theroux's bad [expletive] style.
