We've always loved how Martha Stewart, who undoubtedly has one of the most indelible signature looks in all of celebritydom, will occasionally throw everyone an elegantly festooned curveball and temporarily switch up her style in an unexpected way. From volumizing hair extensions to va-va-voom updos, the multi-hyphenate knows how to reimagine her quintessential blonde bob. But we were not ready for the new look she revealed on Friday.
Stylist Chris Appleton posted a collaborative reel with Stewart, writing, “Did a little transformation yesterday with Martha trying the mocha mousse hair trend color 🤎.” The video starts with Martha reading Appleton's book, Your Roots Don't Define You, while lip-syncing Lady Gaga's and Beyoncé's “Telephone” (didn't see that one coming either, to be honest), and a moment later, they reveal a gorgeous, side-parted, wavy lob doused in light brown lowlights.
But before you get too excited that Stewart has made a long-term change to her hair color, she chimed in in the comments to set the record straight
“This redo was done in fifteen minutes in our little Newstand recording studio in Rockefeller Center,” Stewart wrote, calling him a transformative artist. “After a podcast recording Chris whipped out a wig and some hair products and did a fabulous redo!”

Fans are blown away by how stunning Stewart looks with this subtle yet major makeover. “Her hair looks stunning! What a great job!😍😍😍,” one commenter wrote, while another said, “I want this mocha mousse hair style now! 😍🙌❤️”
After all, Martha Stewart is still the ultimate influencer.
