In a nod to ’90s nostalgia, Camila Cabello, the renowned “Senorita” singer at 26, unveiled a dramatic transformation in her appearance through a recent Instagram Reel on Thursday. The teaser showcased Cabello’s platinum blonde hair, complemented by her signature blunt bangs, styled in loose waves and following the contemporary “wet” hair trend. Renowned hair colorist Nikki Lee and hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos collaborated to bring this bold look to life.
The Instagram montage featured various clips of Cabello with her handheld camcorder, flaunting her distinctive style in a cropped white tee, black low-rise pants, and a subtly revealed black G-string. The singer completed her ’90s-inspired ensemble with brown glossy lipstick, accentuated by a dark brown lip liner, shimmery eyeshadow, and smudged black eyeliner.
In the accompanying caption, Cabello hinted at an imminent release, stating, “it’s time >:).” This revelation generated enthusiastic responses from fans, with Dinah Jane expressing her excitement, commenting, “wowwww blondes have more funnnđđ€Ș.”
Eager anticipation among her fan base was palpable, with one fan exclaiming, “Guys, it’s time to get ready to put her at the top of the charts again, it’s been a while.”
Addressing the transformation process, Nikki Lee emphasized the significance of patience when transitioning from “almost black hair to platinum blonde hair.” She highlighted the meticulous approach taken to maintain the health of Cabello’s hair, achieved through three carefully planned appointments.
“We used LâOreal Paris FĂ©ria Toner in Icy Blonde as an easy way for her to eliminate any brassiness and keep her hair shiny until she can get back into the salon to see me,” Lee disclosed. The colorist expressed admiration for the change, noting that Cabello is “glowing” and the transformation embodies the spirit of 2024.
Camila Cabello had previously shared her evolving perspective on beauty at the Evolution with Beauty: of L’OrĂ©al Paris Women of Worth event in November 2023. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted that beauty wasn’t always a priority for her, especially growing up in an immigrant family.
“Now I’m like, ‘No, it’s actually just an expression of joy and what it means to be alive.’ I’m obsessed with beauty now. It’s just so fun,” Cabello expressed. She credited her mother, Sinuhe Cabello, as a significant influence, emphasizing that looking one’s best contributes to confidence and is not a shallow pursuit.
As fans eagerly await new music, Camila Cabello’s bold transformation serves as a visual prelude to what promises to be a significant chapter in her evolving career.
