Dua Lipa is a brunette no more. The pop star just ditched her signature dark hair in favor of a warm, spicy auburn, and we have a feeling this color change means a new era is on the horizon.
Dua Lipa recently wiped her Instagram completely clean, which is a surefire signal that a celebrity is about to change things up in a big way or kick off a new chapter of their career, potentially one with a different aesthetic — and that sometimes comes with a new hair color.
After a few weeks without posting to the ‘gram, Lipa came back on October 12, sharing a selfie to hint at something in the works and to show off the red hair. “Miss me?” she wrote next to the pic, which shows her lying down in a red, white, and blue striped top, her freshly dyed hair loose around her.

In the pic, Lipa wears minimal makeup, just some blush across the tops of her cheeks and on her nose to mimic a flushed post-beach day glow and a touch of gloss on her lips. But more about the hair! Lipa’s hair has likely been lifted a few levels to allow the auburn shade to shine its brightest; it's not a copper or a scarlet red, but rather a classic deep, warm tone that works beautifully with her dark brown eyes.
However, that's all about all we know about what's going on with Lipa. An Instagram Story video of her eyes blinking directs you to her website, where you're encouraged to “Sign up for optimism.” We haven't gotten a new album from Lipa since 2020's Future Nostalgia, so the red hair feels like a hint that music is en route, but what kind of music is the real mystery? We don't see Lipa abandoning her disco vibes in favor of a complete 180, genre-wise, so we'll be keeping a very close eye on the star, her Instagram, and her hair color for more clues.
