If Paris Hilton's Instagram account is anything to go by, she certainly is not living The Simple Life (see what I did there?). From jetsetting around the world to baking Christmas cookies with her mum, the star is always keeping us up to date and entertained with what she's up to. And now, her most recent escapades have extended out to Disneyland aka "the happiest place on Earth", as Paris herself calls it in the caption of her recent Instagram post.
Though, that's not the most surprising part of her trip [insert dramatic EastEnders duff duff-like music here]. In the nine-part carousel that features snaps of Paris and her family and friends, she is seen to be sporting a very different hair look. Yep, she's no longer blonde but instead, has got jet-black hair!
Can we also just take a mo' for the Wednesday Addams styling?! I mean, seeing as the Netflix show is a big hit, we're going to say that plaits are, too.
Whilst at first glance I, personally, thought this was a post by Katy Perry (read: it's the blue eyes and black hair combo), many of her friends and fans have differing opinions. Read a select few comparisons left in the comments section of her post below:
"Aunt Kyle for sure!!!"
"Not Wednesday Hilton"
"You look like your aunt Kyle here!!"
"Wednesday Hilton!"
"I thought this was your Auntie Kyle 😂"
"You look like Demi Moore in the first pic! ❤️"
"people are saying she looks like Kyle, but I thought this was Kacey Musgraves"
I mean, quite the mixed bag of celebs, right?
Whether you think Paris resembles the likes of Kyle Richards, Wednesday Addams, Demi Moore or Kacey Musgraves, what I'm sure we can all agree on is that this new hair look is it.
Everyone's clicking on...
Though, before we get too carried away, as ever we must add that this (unfortunately) may be a wig. But I guess only time (and Paris' upcoming IG posts) will tell!
P.S. My DMs are always open to any other Paris Hilton look-alike speculations and/or theories, just sayin'.
