Brittany Hockley debuted a shocking transformation on Thursday that surprised her fans.
The former Bachelor star, 36, took to Instagram to reveal her dramatic new haircut and color that saw her ditch her signature brunette locks and swap them for a red one.
Brittany explained that she made a “spontaneous decision” after initially visiting the salon for some highlights, but opted to completely change her look.
“I went to get highlights but the strawberry blonde gods had other plans (and I’m not mad about it!),” she wrote in her post.
“I’m guilty of making spontaneous choices and to be honest they don’t always work out but I think this one did. There are so many endless blonde possibilities and I never thought I’d look this strawberry-colored. The shine is SO VIBRANT and I’m obsessed.”
“We totally changed the traditional blonde and created something unique. I love it. What do you think? What do you think?” she asked her followers.
Several fans were shocked by the result and took to the comments to share their positive opinions.
“This looks BEAUTIFUL BRITT!!,” one user wrote, while another agreed: “Stunning! What a beauty girl!”

Brittany’s dramatic transformation comes after the podcast host revealed she practiced “baby making” during her very romantic “engagement moon” with new fiancé Benjamin Siegrist earlier this month.
She recently returned from a luxury trip to the Maldives with Swiss goalkeeper Ben, 32, after he popped the question in a beach proposal last month.

Brittany hinted at a steamy getaway as she chatted to BFF Laura Byrne on Life Uncut. podcast this week.
She started her last podcast episode saying: ‘We’re back from our baby holiday – wow, that sounded like I’d had a baby, I meant like a mini holiday!’
She then joked: ‘I had a break and practiced making babies, so it was kind of a baby break.’
She also revealed that she finds her long-distance relationship more difficult after her 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 being engaged, they are currently continuing their long-distance relationship, although Benjamin is considering moving to Australia in the future.
“I don’t think it’s going to change much,” Ben recently said of his long-distance romance. “I proposed because I’m in love, so that doesn’t change… It doesn’t really change for me or for us.”

“Obviously the ultimate goal is to live together, of course… At some point, after my career or just before it comes to an end, I would love to live in Australia. I love Australia. I love the people, how friendly they are.”
Brittany added, “For us, this has worked out well so far and it will continue to work because right now I’m not saying yes to marrying someone for day-to-day reasons. I’m saying yes to marrying the person who they are.”
Brittany announced her engagement last month in an adorable post.
In photos shared on Instagram, Brittany looked radiant from ear to ear as she showed off her sparkling diamond.
In the caption accompanying the photo, she enthused: “In any life, it’s a YES! Just two people loving each other for the rest of our lives.”
Brittany announced her engagement last month in an adorable post that gave a glimpse of Benjamin’s romantic beach proposal.
Brittany said her engagement ring was sourced and made in Dubai and features a hidden halo beneath the diamond in a pavé setting.
He also explained that the diamond is lab-grown, which is more cost-effective and ethically sourced compared to natural diamonds.
“Whenever Ben and I talked about getting engaged, I always said two things I wanted: yellow gold and then I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,” Brittany said on her podcast.
‘Ben didn’t know much 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 40 to 50 percent less than that of a diamond mined from the earth, although it is still a real diamond.
Brittany made her relationship with Benjamin Instagram official in January of last year after meeting in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya.
They connected on the dating app while Benjamin and his Celtic FC teammates were in Australia playing against Sydney FC.
