Jennifer Love Hewitt, 47, has surprised fans with a striking new hair color, transitioning from her signature dark tresses to a light blonde. The actress shared the bold transformation on Instagram Monday, revealing the change is in preparation for the upcoming 10th season of the Fox series "9-1-1." Hewitt stars as Maddie Buckley, a 911 dispatcher, in the drama.
In the accompanying video caption, Hewitt expressed her readiness for the new season, writing, "Season 10 hair ready! Let's go!" This marks a significant departure from her previous look on the show, where she often sported fiery red hair. For the latest season, she will be switching up her appearance.
The actress's new blonde look was met with enthusiastic reactions from fans online. Comments included praise for her versatility, with one user writing, "You can literally pull off every color." Another fan commented, "Oh gurl I love a blonde. And this is eating," while a third speculated about her character, "Season 10 Maddie walking in like she's about to solve three cases and emotionally wreck us in one episode."
Hewitt has been a part of "9-1-1" since its third season, taking over the role of Maddie from a previous actress. Her portrayal of the character has been a significant part of the show's narrative. The series is set to premiere its tenth season, continuing the storylines of the Los Angeles-based emergency responders.
