Nicole Richie has been a golden honey blonde for as long as we can remember.

Now, just in time for the holidays, the star went back to her roots with a rich, deep brunette shade. Take a look at Richie's new 'do, plus more stars who went from light to dark:

Nicole Richie has been gradually darkening her honey blonde locks for a while, but she officially went back to brunette at the launch of her House of Harlow holiday collection.

Previously platinum-streaked singer Aubrey O'Day posted this picture of a new darker 'do on her Twitter page and asserted, "brunettes have more fun!"

Jenna Bush posed for this photo on July 23rd with newly-darkened hair. We actually prefer the warm brown over her formerly over-processed blond. It looks shinier and healthier already!

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?

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?

Looks like ScarJo is down with brown. Last spotted in shiny, caramel brown locks, the famously blonde bombshell has amped up her newfangled brunette-ism, sporting sophisticated dark chocolate strands at the star-studded He's Just Not That Into You premiere.

It looks nice when people stay real. Now if only some people would stop wearing wigs and get real? Remember when "black is beautiful?"
