Kelly Clarkson Goes Blonde

It’s a whole new Kelly! Kelly Clarkson debuted brand new blonde hair Wednesday while out in London.

The Duets star’s new tresses — almost a light caramel color — are a bright departure from her signature brown locks.

Apparently, Clarkson wanted to give herself a total makeover: she recently revealed she has a brand new man and she admitted to Redbook that she lost 30 pounds. “Really, what I try to instill in my fans is to be healthy and happy,” she said. “I have no desire to be super-skinny.”

But while the hair color change is surprising, don’t expect Clarkson to give her look a complete overhaul anytime soon. “I don’t want to wear no stiletto,” the singer joked to reporters last month. “I am not a model and I am not Beyoncé. It is not going to happen.” Tell us: What do you think of her new hair color?

I personally like her darker but whatever makes her happy! I like her!

Zero on June 6th, 2012

She pulls it off! Looks good.

T in Texas on June 6th, 2012

That color is all wrong . It looks like a color she pulled off of a shelf in a drugstore .

bofan on June 6th, 2012

Kelly is a great. One of the most down to earth stars out there. She is beautiful, no matter her hair color.

Moi on June 6th, 2012

I wonder if she is gradually lightening her hair so that it doesn’t fall out. Some highlights/lowlights would look good!

Rhonda on June 6th, 2012

She looks so much better as a brunette. Blonde does not flatter her at all

Kim on June 6th, 2012

The new color is ok, but I like her hair better darker. Some highlights in the darker hair would have been a nice step.

Tina on June 6th, 2012

Looks red not blond, I like her better in dark hair.

Alicia on June 6th, 2012

This isn’t the first time she has gone blonde. If it makes her happy then leave her be.

KB on June 6th, 2012

Meh. I like her much better as a brunette.

MR.MONKEE on June 6th, 2012

My day is now complete having this information. Thank You.

Trazey on June 6th, 2012

losing weight and dying your hair for a dude – yah, that always works out

Steffi on June 6th, 2012

Looks like a wig

Will Jay on June 6th, 2012

Its not my personal favorite.. If she wanted to go Blonde she should have gone a lighter shade…that looks more like a light red…I like her brown locks the best, but hey, its not on my head. Its whatever makes her happy.

samantha on June 6th, 2012

I think she looked better before, this looks like orangey blonde.

Jon on June 6th, 2012

I like Kelly Clarkson’s new hair-color, she looks great!

funkytown on June 6th, 2012

i love kelly and i love her dark hair…this is not the right color of blonde for her.

Laila on June 6th, 2012

NAH….try a red next time…

love it on June 6th, 2012

Why ? I hope this is just a phase.

Nellie on June 6th, 2012

looks good!!

me on June 6th, 2012

She looks good as a blonde, but that shade is horrible.

cheri on June 6th, 2012

UGH!

Jennifer R on June 6th, 2012

I prefer her best in dark brown with chunky blond highlights but it is great that she is comfortable to change her hair often so good for her!

sioux on June 6th, 2012

IIRC, Kelly was born blonde and only started dying her hair brown before Idol. I think she looks great.

Elmo on June 6th, 2012

You lazy Ho’s that make snippy comments need to get a job.

peg on June 6th, 2012

It’s a bit too light but she’s happy so if that’s what she wants then so be it. :)

Carol Dewees on June 6th, 2012

The color is RED, not blonde and I think it’s gorgeous !!!!!

shirley on June 6th, 2012

I like her normal brown–she’d look great with frosted hair—–shes just a down to earth girl—and a phenomenol talent-she can sing any type song perfectly with her own great style!!!!

cc on June 6th, 2012

I think she is adorable, no matter what she does..

andy on June 6th, 2012

she can do whatever the heck she wants. IMO love her shirt. I don’t care about anything else as long as she sings and doesn’t stop anytime soon. lol It’s her life, let her live it.

Joe on June 6th, 2012

She looks better as a brunette, but I love Kelly a whole bunch. She can do as she pleases. She’s as real as they come. Beautiful, soulful singer and she has a sincere heart.

Sandy on June 6th, 2012

I like her hair better dark. More flattering.
Not a pretty shade of blonde.
But she is still great.

nelly on June 6th, 2012

I think she looks way better with blond hair!

Mary M Revis on June 7th, 2012

She looks lovely EITHER way. But I have to admit, I think she looks best blond. Be blessed Kelly..be happy and be blessed *smile*

KIKI WARREN on June 7th, 2012

KELLY LOOKS GREAT !!!!BLONDES DO HAVE MORE FUN !!
GO FOR IT KELLY !!!!

Jc on June 7th, 2012

I love Kelly Clarkson but this color is jus all wrong for her…her dark hair with highlights are beautiful…this color does nothing for her…but I still love her and her music…

carolyn on June 7th, 2012

I personally like her hair dark but she is so cute with any haircolor

Margaret on June 7th, 2012

She looks much much better with her natural darker hair. It shines and therefore makes her shine. She is such a talented singer and to go out and be blonde is so passe nowadays. Everyone is blonde. Her uniqueness is in her naturalness. Go back to your natural darker colors Kelly.

Bodie on June 7th, 2012

Tell Kelly that I just want her for her money and it doesnt matter what color her hair is.

Brian on June 7th, 2012

If I recall correctly, Kelly’s original hair color is blonde, so it’s not a big deal to me.

anne on June 7th, 2012

its too one dimensional, she needs streaks. and the color looks like a drugstore one. But the girl looks happy so all is good in the world!

Tracey on June 7th, 2012

I think those who stay closer to their natural hair color and just add highlights to it, look much better in the long run.

Sue on June 7th, 2012

Kelly looked better brunette, no doubt about it. If she has a hair stylist, fire him or her & get one who will guide her honestly. If you did it yourself Kelly well, sorry!

seniorwooC0M on June 7th, 2012

Age is just a number. I have been 55 years old, and I just fall in love with a great man who is 59 years old via

Sey12 on June 7th, 2012

Hate it….looks too harsh and straight from the box. I like her natural color much better. If she wants to mess with her hair….highlights are all she really needs.

seniorwooC0M on June 7th, 2012

She looks so much better as a brunette. Blonde does not flatter her at all

debbie on June 7th, 2012

I do not like it at all. It looks red not blonde.

Denise on June 7th, 2012

I think her hair color looks good, but she could be bald and I wouldn`t care. Her voice is AEWSOME!!!!!!! I like her attitude, she is who she is and she`s comfortable with herself. That makes her pretty and awesome!

Lori on June 7th, 2012

I love Kelly but she is much more attractive with brown hair. The blonde just does not suit her but hey, whatever makes you happy!

Eva on June 7th, 2012

She has had lighter hair before even with the 2 tones, etc. Remember her days on American Idol and even her Album thankful…. She looks good dark hair or light hair…..

cg on June 7th, 2012

I like it. Though that pic isn’t the best pic they used to show off her new color. There are better pics that do and there is video of her from yesterday where it looks good. I think Kelly pulls off blonde the best even though she can pull of any color. I don’t know why some people are acting so surprised because Kelly has change her hair color so many times within the past ten years lol. Anyway for the ones who do not like it so what it’s not your hair let Kelly do whatever she wants. :)

Pat on June 7th, 2012

I prefer the brown, but whatever floats her bat is fine with me.

rosanna on June 7th, 2012

Do you know the difference between , Auburn and Blonde,colored hair? This not even close to Strawberry Blonde.
She looks good no matter what her hair color is!

SH on June 7th, 2012

With that smile and the sunglasses she almost looks like reese witherspoon :)

Naynay on June 7th, 2012

Actually the blonde hair makes her look younger. I think it is a great Spring/Summer color. Let’s quit hating and show support….ladies!!

Jeri on June 7th, 2012

The color just does not work for her, She needs to go back to the darker color.

Gia on June 7th, 2012

That is NOT blonde. More orange/red. Bad color job. I liked her as a brunette.

Shelby on June 7th, 2012

I don’t like this look. I like it as a brunette.
Sorry!!!

Pat on June 7th, 2012

Kelly looks super no matter what. I’ve loved her and her astonishing voice since Day 1. She is the real thing; I agree No steletos, No super-skinny; you don’t need those things to belt out the tunes she BELTS OUT consistantly.
I believe she had her hair highlighted a while back; I think she should do that or go a little blonder. But if she doesn’t so what. It’s her life. You go girl Kelly.

lynnie on June 7th, 2012

i like kelly ! she is amazing and it doesmt matter what color her hair is even if she went out for blonde and its looks ORANGE!! GO KELLY

Terri Green on June 7th, 2012

That color seems more red than blonde. I think that I prefer her with darker hair, but props for the weight loss.

Baby on June 7th, 2012

HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

joan719 on June 7th, 2012

Oooh, not good!

K on June 7th, 2012

She picks the ugliest hair colors.

rbert282 on June 7th, 2012

I like her with the darker color – but, she looks happy!

D.DANIEL on June 7th, 2012

>>>>>>> WAY TO GOLD FOR HER COMPLEXION <<<<<<

sasi on June 10th, 2012

I would love this woman bald. She changes her hair color all the time. She looks great and happy. She is such a sweetheart and that voice is heavenly. Keep rockin’ what makes you happy, Kelly. I am a fan forever!!!

You may be right that the formula is geinttg a tad stale, but I’m a middle-aged bloke who woul love to join in the banter with some like-minded blokes, thrash expensive cars round a test track, be critical and stereotypical and take part in challenges all over the world on exciting roads in great, great cars.And that’s why it’s still successful some of us live vicariously through Clarkson, May and Hammond.Long live the big kids!
