- Spent 3 years as a blonde for Wicked film role
- Fans wonder if it's a wig, but stylist confirms change
In a surprising move, pop superstar Ariana Grande has undergone a dramatic hair transformation. After spending the last 3 years as a blonde for her role in the upcoming Wicked film duology, Grande has now returned to her signature brunette look.
On October 29, 2025, Grande took to Instagram to share a mirror selfie showcasing her new long, chocolate-brown locks parted to the side. Quoting an iconic line from the Wicked musical, the singer wrote, "it's good to see me, isn't it?" Some fans initially wondered if Grande was wearing a wig, but her hair colorist, Francesco De Chiara, confirmed the change is more permanent.
Prior to going blonde in 2022, Grande's hair had gone through several notable transformations over the course of her career, including a bright red dye job during her Victorious days and a stint with silver hair during her 2018 Sweetener era. Now, as she prepares for the release of Wicked: For Good in November 2025 and an upcoming tour in 2026, Grande's return to brunette signals an exciting new chapter for the pop icon.
