Although it's an undisputed fact that KARA's Nicole is about as close to perfect beauty as one can possibly get, opinions differ on just exactly how she gets there.

With a new haircut she unveiled earlier today, we might've found out one of the factors! Her new short, quintessentially beautiful hairstyle has just a hint of taper at the edges, framing her face in a perfect light reminiscent of a 1940's fashionista.

"Short hair without any regrets," she posted to her Instagram earlier. "But I really became a duck..."

If that is what a duck looks like, we just might have a new favorite animal.
