Brittany Hockley underwent a shocking transformation on Thursday.
The 36-year-old former Bachelor star took to Instagram to reveal her striking new haircut and color, ditching her signature dark brown locks for a ginger hue.
Brittany explained that she made a “spontaneous decision” after initially going to the hairdresser for some highlights, but later opted to completely change her look.
“I got highlights but the strawberry blonde gods had other plans (and I’m not mad about them!),” she captioned her post.
“I’m guilty of making spur of the moment decisions and honestly they don’t always work but I think this one did! So many endless possibilities for blonde and never thought I’d see myself in this strawberry shade. The shine is SO VIBEnt and I’m obsessed.”
“We’ve completely turned the traditional blonde color on its head and created something unique – I love it. What do you think!?” she asked her followers.
Several fans were impressed with the result and shared their positive opinions in the comments.
“This looks GORGEOUS BRITT!!,” wrote one user, while another agreed: “Gorgeous! You’re going all out girl.”

“Your eyes will shine even more!” wrote another.

Brittany’s dramatic transformation comes after the podcast host revealed that she practiced “making babies” during her very romantic “engagement month” with her new fiancé Benjamin Siegrist earlier this month.
She recently returned from a lavish trip to the Maldives with Swiss goalkeeper Ben, 32, after he proposed to her on the beach last month.

Brittany hinted at a steamy vacation during a chat with her best friend Laura Byrne on their Life Uncut podcast this week.
She gave the starting signal for their latest podcast episode by saying, “We’re back from our baby vacation – wow, that sounded like I had a baby, I meant a mini vacation!”
She then teased me, “I was on a break and I’ve been practicing making babies, so it was kind of a baby break!”
She also revealed that she finds their long-distance relationship more difficult after their engagement.
The couple currently divide their time between Australia and Scotland, where Benjamin lives and plays as a goalkeeper for top-flight football club Celtic.
Despite their engagement, they continue their relationship from a distance for the time being, although Benjamin would like to move to Australia in the future.
“I don’t think it’s going to change much,” Ben recently said of their long-distance relationship. “I asked her to marry me because I’m in love, so that doesn’t change… It doesn’t really change for me or for us.

‘Of course the end goal is to live together, of course… Sometime in the future, after my career or just before my career ends, I would like to live in Australia. I love Australia. I love the people, how friendly they are.’
Brittany added, “For us, it’s just working out so far and it’s going to continue to work out because right now, I’m not saying yes to marrying someone because of the day-to-day. I’m saying yes to marry the person that he is.”
Brittany announced their engagement last month in an adorable post.
In photos shared to Instagram, Brittany looked overjoyed as she beamed from ear to ear and showed off her diamond sparkler.
In an accompanying caption, she wrote enthusiastically, “In every life it’s a YES! Just two people loving each other for the rest of their lives.”

Brittany said her engagement ring was made in Dubai and has a hidden halo beneath the diamond in a pavé setting.
She also explained that the diamond is lab-grown, which is cheaper and more ethical compared to natural diamonds.
Whenever Ben and I talked about it [engagement]”I said I wanted two things: I want yellow gold. And the other thing, I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,” Brittany said on her podcast.
‘Ben didn’t really know about it at the time, but he said, “Don’t you want a real diamond?” And I said, “It’s identical. It’s exactly the same, except it’s ethically sourced.”‘
The cost of a lab-grown diamond is about 40 to 50 percent less than a naturally mined diamond, but it is still a real diamond.
Brittany officially entered into a relationship with Benjamin on Instagram in January last year, after they met on the dating app Raya in November 2022.
They met through the dating app while Benjamin and his Celtic FC teammates were playing against Sydney FC in Australia.
