Having been known as a blonde for her entire career, it seems like the actress and television hostess felt it was high time for Kelly Ripa's hair to go through a massive change, as the beautiful 44 year-old went to the beauty salon to get a big change!
In a recent Instagram post, the longtime "Live! With Kelly And Michael" hostess showed off the big change in Kelly Ripa's hair, straining from her well-known golden locks for the first time in popular memory, as she has always been one of the staple blondes on TV.
According to Entertainment Tonight Online, the big change to Kelly Ripa's hair happened last Tuesday, as the Daytime Emmy winner Instagrammed the photo wearing vibrant pink hair with a shout-out to Ryan Trygstad, the celebrity stylist that does the hair of the likes of Naomi Watts, Laura Dern and Jessica Chastain.
As ABC News reports, upon seeing his co-host entering the stage for the first time since the big change to Kelly Ripa's hair, Michael Strahan joked that he "didn't know" who his new co-host was, being more than shocked over Kelly's new look!
According to Us Weekly, though, while the Kelly Ripa hair look might be new to her fans, it's a yearly tradition for the famous hostess.
"They call me Pinky Galore!" she joked on the show the next day. "Every time I get ready to go on vacation, I dye my hair a different color. Usually, it washes out-and this will wash out, I just haven't washed my hair yet. But it's part of my tradition. I like to have fun hair for two weeks."
For the next time around, the iconic hostess is planning to swift to a brighter tone, possibly red, saying she'd worn a wig that color on the show once and really loved it.
In any case, Kelly Ripa's hair choice looks beautiful on her, even if it is for just two weeks!
