Katherine Heigl's Newly Dark Hair

Katherine Heigl -- better as a blonde, or sexier with auburn hair? Photos: Getty Images

At the premiere of Katherine Heigl's new film, "The Ugly Truth," Anna Faris found herself the only hot blonde on the red carpet.

In an unexpected twist, Heigl stepped out with a dramatically deeper hair color than her usual Marilyn Monroe-esque shade. Her new auburn locks -- with matching eyebrows(!) -- look more sultry than sunny.

This transformation is well-timed, as Heigl seems to be dead set on letting us know she's more intense than her film career -- full of romantic comedies -- suggests.

In the August issue of InStyle, she warns us that "The Ugly Truth" earns its R rating with lots of F-bombs and sex talk.

"I didn't want to do another PG-13 movie," she said.

Judging from her sexy, sophisticated new look, we get the picture.







Brown Hair Flipbook

    Katherine Heigl debuted reddish-brown locks at the Hollywood premiere of "The Ugly Truth" on July 16. Are you loving the actress's brunette 'do? Should she return to her classic blonde hair?

    John Shearer, WireImage

    Surprise! Paris Hilton's new dark 'do is just a wig. She sported the disguise as a gag for the new season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF on MTV. Wonder if she used Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" years as an inspiration?

    WENN

    Golden girl Kate Hudson was spotted with a new brunette 'do on May 21st. The medium brown shade was likely for her upcoming film, The Killer Inside Me.

    Splash News

    Fergie traded her dark blonde locks for this seriously slick shade of chocolate brown, with mahogany highlights.

    Sarah Jessica Parker was seen on strolling the New York City streets sporting tussled chocolate tresses. SJP may be enjoying her last few months of "normalcy" before rejoining her sassy gang to begin shooting part two of Sex and the City this summer.

    What do you think of SJP's new look? Are you feeling the brown hair? Should she return to her iconic wavy gold strands?

I think she looks better as a brunette. It matches her skin tone. She looks great too! I feel better about myself and went back to my natural color after losing weight. Acai-eez helped me lose weight and gain confidence about myself! Acai eez suppresses my appetite, increases my metabolism, and gives me a natural energy boost. After I started losing weight, I went back to my natural hair color. Acai-eez helped me not only lose weight, but gain confidence in my self and how I look. Acai eez never auto bills or auto ships like the other acai berry companies so you don't have to worry. I always order the Buy 3 get 1 free at http://www.acaieez.com

I used all natural Acai eez when I lost weight and it works! I feel great now that I have lost weight. Acai eez doesn't auto bill or auto ship so that is why I chose to go with them! My friend got caught up in an auto ship scam and it cost her a lot of money to get a "free trial" . I did a lot of research and found that Acai eez is the only company on the internet that doesn't auto bill. and the product works! I use Acai eez and have already lost half of the weight I need to lose. If you are considering using any natural product to lose weight, Acai eez worked for me.

Damn , Hobbseric, how far did you get in school? Your grammar and diction are that of a kindergarten level child. Go back to school and learn how to write correctly.

Katherine is the same, classic, All-American beauty that young, Ellen Burstyn was... apple cheeks, brooding eyes and warm, genuine smile. She's going to be beautiful when she's 60... but she's not 60 yet. The darker hair makes her look matronly. I like the Maralynesque, blonde Katherine better.

Well, that color is probably closer to her natural color. She probably went darker to give her hair a rest from being lightened. You can see that her scalp area is dark and even using a high lift tint (as opposed to bleach) can be trying on the hair when done over the long term. Besides, the change is good. Going darker also deposits color into the lightened hair and gives it more substance that the lightener or high lift tint takes out during the process.

Is she having a baby? You should not put dye into your system if you are expecting. Could be she went back to her natural shade for that!

This poll, like most AOL polls, is slanted. It isn't a fair comparison. The Blonde photo is showing teeth and a very pleasant smile while the "Auburn poto is not.

If anyone can trace Hobbseric's email they should call 911 and get him or her some mental health help. If real, this person is in serious trouble and needs help desperately.

I feel wonderful that I finally found a great hair stylist and she has won numerous awards. My hair has never looked so good. I lost 12 pounds and I feel incredible, so much so I went and finally got a good stylist to do my hair. I feel more confidant and love who i am. I do feel better because i have lost alot of weight, so that has helped how my face is framed. I use that Acai berry and Acai-eez and it has helped my energy and weight loss alot. I get the Buy 3 get 1 free http://www.acai-eez.com/ and they dont autoship

I think she looks great both ways though I do like the more natural darker color better. I think she is a good role model for young women as a healthy body type as she is not bone thin!

I have always had a weight issues and want to pass on healthy body and weight issues to my daughters. I went to Weight Watchers and in my twenties after being an obese teen, and I finally got my weight into a normal range. I eat a high fiber well balanced filling diet, and try to get exercise every day.

I am now a mom of 2 and work full time. I would love to take classes at a gym, but at present that is not an option. What I do is take a brisk walk at lunch. I am a huge fan of smartsole exercise insoles
http://www.smartsole.com. They are anti cellulite insoles that help you tone muscles, increase circulation and cause you to burn more calories with every step. So you are getting a work out even when you are just running errands and they are comfortable. I love that I am getting extra exercise in when doing mundane stuff.

I read about them in Prevention mag and I found the code fit10 to get10% off. I had looked at getting the Sketchers a similiar thing but they were not as comfortable and cost way
more....in this economy I don't have any extra money!
