At 56, Julia Roberts stuns fans with a striking new hairstyle – “she’s unrecognizable”

Julia Roberts is no stranger to turning heads with her changing hairstyles; we can all agree on that.

The iconic actress has sported many different looks over the years, but her latest switch-up might be one of the most eye-catching yet. Readers will remember when Roberts introduced a spontaneous fringe last year, garnering plenty of comments.

Now, the Erin Brockovich star has decided to shake it up once again, this time opting for blonde.

Although she’s more familiar to fans with darker hair, the actress was recently seen on Instagram posing with newly-colored luscious blonde locks.

The post garnered plenty of praise, with fans delighted by the change. However, when pictures of her new look made their way to Facebook, they received more mixed reactions.

It appears not everyone thought going blonde was the best course of action, with several individuals pointing out perceived flaws in Roberts’ new look.

“Not the same person [sic],” one person wrote.

“That is not a pretty woman. Bleached blonde is not for her,” another added.

“Doesn’t go with her skin color,” said a third, while a fourth commented, “Red is so much prettier.”

Another fan offered a potential explanation for Roberts’ decision to go blonde.

“She probably went with blonde because she is grey,” they said. “Blonde covers grey better [sic].”

Earlier this year, Roberts sat down with Vogue and revealed that one of her biggest regrets is not having gone to college.

“I couldn’t. It wasn’t in my cards,” the 56-year-old said at the time. “My family didn’t have the money. And I had no scholarship potential. That kind of thing.”
