One thing we know about Billie Eilish is that she loves to experiment with her hair color. She’s had slime-green roots, gone platinum blonde like Marilyn Monroe for the 2021 Met Gala, and recently stuck with a striking, ultra-shiny brown-black. But today, that changed when she was spotted leaving the hair salon after a transformation.

Seen in Los Angeles walking her pitbull Shark (a former Dogue cover star, we might add), Eilish’s new hair color looks like a mix between cherry cola and a deep shade of bronde. It’s much warmer than what we’re used to seeing on her, since she usually prefers cool tones. We’re still waiting to find out who did the makeover, but as soon as we know, we’ll share more details.

Is this just a summer itch she needed to scratch, or a sign of new music on the way? Only time will tell, but either way, Eilish looks great in red.
