'90s Star Jennifer Love Hewitt Debuts a Dramatic Hair Transformation Fans Are Loving

Jennifer Love Hewitt was clearly waiting for a change, and now that she's on hiatus from filming 9-1-1, that's exactly what she did. And she seems to be loving the new 'do because the 47-year-old former brunette has shared two different photos of the hair transformation in less than 24 hours.

The first photo, which Hewitt shared to Instagram on Tuesday, Apr. 21, was a close-up of the Heartbreakers star, giving us a good look at her fresh color and style.

With a minimal no-makeup look and a neutral expression, all the emphasis was on her hair, which is now shoulder-length and honey-blonde.

In the caption, Hewitt wrote, "We always do a hair change for hiatus! I loved time with my girls and this new look @nikkilee901 @tarynhoustonn @seama901"

Just two hours after posting the first picture, Hewitt reposted a video to Instagram showing the hair change, with a before-and-after transition that was initially shared by one of the three stylists she tagged in the first post. It was also shared by the salon, Nine Zero One, which also boasts celebrity clients like Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez, and Julianne Hough.

In the newest share, Hewitt did the voiceover of a very viral clip from Legally Blonde where Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) says, "I think I dropped something on the floor that I need to pick up."

Hewitt then bends over with her pre-colored hair out of view, and when she snaps back up into the frame, she fluffs her perfectly colored and curled new hair as Fergie's "London Bridge" plays.

The simple but effective transition had Hewitt's fans going ga-ga for her new hair with one calling it "The perfect honey blonde 🍯"

Another weighed in, calling her "Beautiful absolutely beautiful 😻"

"Literally she looks so good😍" another wrote.
