Julia Roberts surprised her fans on June 16 when her longtime colorist, Kadi Lee, revealed her dramatic hair transformation on Instagram. Known for her signature soft brown locks, Roberts opted for a striking change to golden blonde. Lee detailed in her post that the transition was carefully executed over time to maintain the health of Roberts’ hair, ensuring a smooth and vibrant outcome.
In addition to the new blonde hue, the 56-year-old actress also updated her hairstyle, trading her usual blunt bangs for a softer curtain style that elegantly framed her face. She styled her layered hair in loose waves, showcasing a blend of dark and light highlights that highlighted her new look.
This isn’t the first time Roberts has made a notable change to her hair. In March 2023, she surprised fans by appearing with bangs at an event, showing her willingness to experiment with her look despite her iconic red hair.
Reactions to Roberts’ blonde transformation have been mixed, given her established image with red hair. However, the majority of comments on social media expressed admiration and praise for her new style. Fans and followers lauded her versatility and beauty, with many complimenting how stunning she looks regardless of hair color and celebrating her as an enduring source of inspiration in the entertainment industry.
