Alison Brie Goes Blonde First the First Time in 7 Years


Alison Brie is back to blonde.

The former โ€œCommunityโ€ star debuted her new hair color at the 2026 Daytime Beauty Awards red carpet in Los Angeles on Sept. 9.

โ€œThey *do* have more fun?!โ€ Brie said on her Instagram story, commenting on her new look.

As someone complimented her blondest โ€˜do to date, Brie revealed the reason for it.

โ€œItโ€™s for a part!โ€ Brie said in a TikTok shared by โ€œEntertainment Tonight.โ€

Just three days prior, Brie showcased her typical brunette look at the Creative Arts Emmys, where she supported her โ€œGLOWโ€ co-star Betty Gilpin and her win for โ€œWidowโ€™s Bay.โ€

This is not the first time sheโ€™s sported lighter locks. In 2019, Brie teased a new role with a transformation reveal on Instagram.

โ€œWhen your husband asks you to โ€˜go blondeโ€™ for a role… you say yes๐Ÿ˜‰,โ€ she wrote in the caption.

That โ€œroleโ€ turned out to be the 2020 horror thriller โ€œThe Rental.โ€

Now, blonder than ever, and with a few inches off, fans are wondering what role called for the change.

Brie has recently starred in โ€œMasters Of The Universeโ€ and โ€œTogether.โ€

Brie is confirmed to appear in Peacockโ€™s โ€œCommunity: The Movie,โ€ which has experienced ongoing production delays. In the original sitcom, however, which ran from 2009 to 2015, Brieโ€™s character Annie Edison was a brunette.

Brie is also in cahoots with Alice Stanley Jr. for a female-driven horror comedy, but is said to be making her directorial feature debut rather than any on-camera work.
