Kathy Griffin's Shocking Blonde Makeover: Is It Real?
26 Mar
Summary
- Comedian Kathy Griffin debuted a new blonde hairstyle, sparking fan debate.
- Griffin insists her new hair color is real, not a wig, after dyeing.
- The 65-year-old recently underwent her third facelift and eye surgery.

Kathy Griffin, 65, has embraced a striking blonde bombshell transformation, surprising many of her longtime fans. The comedian revealed her new flaxen hair color, which she claims is genuine and not a wig. Griffin explained in a YouTube video that she grew her hair out and dyed it herself, inspired by Kim Kardashian's early blonde phase.
Despite Griffin's insistence, some fans and even RuPaul's Drag Race star Willam Belli have voiced skepticism, suggesting it might be a wig or extensive extensions. However, many other fans and celebrity friends like Lisa Rinna and Carson Kressley have praised the new look, noting it appears to de-age her.
This cosmetic change follows Griffin's recent announcement in August 2025 about undergoing her third facelift and an upper blepharoplasty. She had previously shared details about her procedures with celebrity surgeon Dr. Ben Talei. Griffin also reflected on past cosmetic surgery, including a nose job at age 26, which she attributed to Hollywood's beauty standards at the time.
