If there's one celebrity who changes up their hair more than Katy Perry, it's Cardi B. Within the past six days, we've seen the rapper rock four different hair colours and styles including a pink bowl cut. Will Byers, eat your heart out. And if you don't believe me, well, clearly, you need to drop her a follow on Instagram.
Now, doing a complete 180° from this super short cropped cut, Cardi's latest hair look comes with inches upon inches upon inches of length. Not only is her hair reaching the back of her knees, it's a blazing red/orange colour. Yep, we're getting all the Little Mermaid vibes – minus Ariel's bouncy volume, as Cardi has opted for a pin-straight lewk.
I'm just gutted she didn't sing Part of Your World... but I guess Shake It will suffice. Naturally, fans loved this looked just as much as we did and flooded the comments with praise and compliments. Here are some of our favourites below:
"Like what? You killed this look! We’re ready for this era! Slayage!".
"Well orange u fine".
"👩🦰 !".
Everyone's clicking on...
"🔥🔥🔥 love it".
"THIS COLOR OMGGG".
"Binderella 😍".
"SMOKIN HOT 🔥🥵💨💨💨💨".
"The hair is everything 😍".
Apparently, it's not just one Disney princess that she resembles but instead, two. Step aside Ariel and Cinderella for Cardi is coming for your crowns.
