Julia Roberts is no new to turning heads with her various hairstyles, I believe we can all agree.

The renowned actress has had many distinct looks over the years, but her most recent transformation may be one of the most striking. Readers will recall Roberts’ introduction of a new “spontaneous” fringe last year, which drew numerous remarks.

The Erin Brockovich star has changed her hair color again, this time to blonde. Though she is probably more recognizable to fans with darker hair, the actress was recently spotted on Instagram posing with newly colored gorgeous blonde blocks.

Roberts was showered with accolades for the post in question, and the public appeared to be happy. However, when photos of the star’s new look appeared on Facebook, they elicited further conflicting comments.

Not everyone agreed that going blonde was the best option, with several people pointing out apparent shortcomings in Roberts’ new look. “Not the same person [sic],” one person commented. “That isn’t a beautiful woman. “Bleached blonde is not for her,” another person said. “Doesn’t go with her skin color,” commented a third, while a fourth said, “Red is so much prettier.”

Another fan probed deeper, suggesting a possible explanation for why Roberts chose to tint her hair. “She probably went with blond because she is grey,” they added. “Blond covers grey better [sic].” Earlier this year, Roberts told Vogue that one of her biggest regrets in life is not attending college. “I can’t. “It wasn’t in my plans,” the 56-year-old admitted at the time.“My family did not have the money. And I had no scholarship opportunities. “That type of thing.” We think Julia Roberts looks fantastic in her new blonde hair. How about you? Please share your opinions in the comments.
