Hi, hello and welcome to yet another transformation day on the Cosmo beauty desk, where we [insert hair pun in 3, 2...] ✨highlight✨ the best of the best celebrity makeovers. First up on today's list is Nicole Scherzinger, who – not one to be outshone – has gone from her trademark dark brunette locks to bombshell blonde tresses with one Instagram debut. I mean, you can't outdo the doer – and it's as dramatic as I'm describing, promise.
Celebrity hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos had the honour of sharing a first glimpse of the Pussycat Dolls alum's new look, posting an over-the-shoulder snap of Nic. Her newly-coloured locks also feature a natural dark root for a seamless blend and have been styled in a piece-y updo.
On the post, Dimitris wrote: "New color for my girl @nicolescherzinger by 🙋🏼♂️",
Don't cha wish your hair was hot like this, don't cha? Soz...
Some fans likened the star to one very notable celebrity, with comments like:
"@kimkardashian ?"
"Great makeover and she could be Kim's twin!!!!! Nice job Dimitri!!"
IDK about you but I also had to do a doubletake, thinking it was Kim K, too. Perhaps it's the true blonde tone or even the Pamela Anderson-like updo that she famously wears that makes the two look uncannily alike.
Everyone's clicking on...
Similarities aside, we've gotta give it to both Dimitris and Nicole, as she looks incredible with this new 'uptown' colour.
Hairstylists, I have one thing to say to you: good luck. Because we anticipate lots of clients will be booking in with this very on-trend request.
