Ellen DeGeneres is keeping a fairly low profile these days, although her hair transformation since moving to the UK sparked numerous headlines. Now, she’s back to her original style. The former talk show host recently stepped out in California with stark, light blonde hair after months of allowing her natural, gray-brown color be. Her lack of blonde hair, which has always been a big aspect of her signature look, puzzled many fans and social media users. Now that she’s trying to return to what seems to be her favorite color, some are feeling it’s not working like it used to. Read more about her latest hair transformation below.
Fans React To Ellen’s Return To Blonde Hair On Social Media
After the photos of the 67-year-old with her new blonde hair color were shared on social media platforms like Instagram, fans and other internet users immediately began weighing in on how they felt about the look. Although some had expressed they missed her blonde hair once she went back to her natural shade, now that she’s back to it, not everyone approves.
“Yikes,” commented an Instagram user.
“Who is this?” asked another.
As internet users pondered who the comedian looks like with her new blonde shade, some couldn’t help but joke about a prominent royal.
“Looks like an older version of King Charles,” joked a user.
“Prince Charles, is that you?” asked a user, as one user responded to the new cut and color, writing, “It’s a no.”
We’ll be curious to see how long Ellen decides to keep her blonde locks, or if, perhaps, we’ll find out she returned to blonde for a potential upcoming work project.
Ellen DeGeneres Steps Out In California With Platinum Blonde Hair
Ever since she and her wife of 17 years, Portia de Rossi, moved to England in 2024, the Ellen show host has been staying out of the public eye, taking a step back from the media, especially following the cancellation of her talk show.
Anytime she and Portia did step out for an event or an outing that was captured by photographers, all sorts of headlines would circulate, but one of the main talking points was Ellen’s hair, as once she moved, she seemingly decided to stop dyeing her hair its signature blonde color and allowed her darker, graying color to grow in. The transformation was incredibly drastic, as her short, blonde hair was one of her most distinguishing features for the majority of her career.
Well, it looks like she’s decided to return to what she’s known for, as at the end of December, she went out for a walk in Montecito, California, and flaunted her new light blonde hair. The color looks similar to the lighter shade she used to have, with not as much highlighting. You can see photos of her here!
