Chappell Roan has long been recognised by her bright red curls; a signature look that became almost as iconic as her music. But the pop star stunned her fans this week when she revealed a dramatic hair transformation, going brunette for the first time in years.
The Good Luck, Babe! singer unveiled her new look at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, during a sold-out run of shows on her Vision of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things tour. Stepping out under the spotlight, Roan revealed her freshly darkened locks, leaving fans in disbelief.
Her fiery red hair has been a central part of her image ever since her breakout, even gracing the cover of her acclaimed 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. But this latest move represents a striking shift. While fans may see it as a bold reinvention, the colour actually takes her back to her natural shade, quite literally returning to her roots.
Footage shared across social media captured the exact moment the crowd realised Roan had gone brunette. One fan wrote, “I can’t believe I got to witness Chappell Roan reveal her new brown hair in real time. Twas an honour.” Another posted, “Is brunette Chappell gorgeous? Yes. Do I already miss the red hair? Also yes.” The internet quickly flooded with memes, reactions, and admiration, making her new look one of the most talked-about topics in music circles.
This latest transformation comes at a time when Roan’s career is reaching new heights. She has performed at festivals including Primavera Sound in Spain and Reading in the UK, cementing her place as one of pop’s most exciting rising stars. With Grammy wins under her belt and a global tour in full swing, she seems unstoppable.
Whether the brunette era will last remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Roan continues to keep fans guessing with every move she makes. From her daring performances to her headline-grabbing style shifts, the singer has shown she is unafraid of change.
For now, the red curls that made her instantly recognisable may be gone, but Chappell Roan’s ability to captivate audiences has never been stronger.
