If 'before and after' glam transformations are your guilty pleasure (no shame, bc same) then there's no doubt that you'll love Nicole Scherzinger's latest look. And sure, I know what you're thinking: Scherzy is one for a transformation or two, but hold up because this time it involves a quiff. Oh, and a dramatic hair chop... we think. But let's get to that in a mo'.
Taking to Instagram to share her makeover, Nicole posted a video that is now raking in the likes and comments. But is it any surprise that fans are loving the look? A coordinated red lip and eye duo that has been paired with a bouffant lob, aka a long bob, is everything we could have wanted and more.
Not only that, but we also have to acknowledge how great her skin looks in the 'before' clip – I mean talk about glowing! Though having said that, there's not much time to bask in the glory of dew, as after a (flawless, may I say) transition, the ex-Pussycat Doll is dolled up (soz) to the nines. Watch the masterpiece below:
As we can see, Nic's hair is significantly shorter. She has gone from having luscious long locks, to a shoulder-length curly cut. Although tempted to assume that she's gone for a big autumn chop just like Kourtney Kardashian, there's no telling with these celebs. And by that, I mean it could be anything from a wig to even a hair illusion.
Now, the big question is: do we follow in her footsteps with a shorter look for autumn????
