“Two icons. Two bold hair changes. One big debate.” šāāļøāØ Victoria Beckham and Monica Bellucci just stepped out with dramatically different looks ā and fans are divided. Do their new styles make them look younger⦠or just different? See the transformations and decide for yourself in the article below š
We often associate celebrities with their signature style ā the same hairstyle, makeup, or image weāve seen them wear for years. But as time passes, our appearance changes, and sometimes a fresh new style can bring out the best in us. Many women wonder what changes they should make to keep looking elegant as they grow older.
Letās take a closer look at how two famous women updated their look with age.
Victoria Beckham
For years, Victoria Beckham, now 50, has been known for her long, dark hair. But recently, she surprised everyone with a big change.
She went for a modern long bob and added a new hair color that has been trendy since last year. Her new style features soft highlights that lighten towards the ends, blending in smoothly instead of creating a stark contrast, like when roots grow out.
This kind of coloring is popular for a reason ā it brightens the face without turning the entire head blonde, which can damage the hair. The lighter strands near the face still keep that youthful glow.
Her new hairstyle also includes a center part and soft waves, giving it a very relaxed, fashionable vibe.
Monica Bellucci
Monica Bellucci has long been admired for her dark, voluminous waves. That signature brunette look became part of her identity.
Now at 60, Monica has started to explore new styles. This photo from December 2024 shows her updated look.
Around age 55, she began experimenting more with her hair. One big shift was when she cut it into a bob ā a bold move that made her look much younger, even if it meant letting go of her long hair.
Monica’s bob was styled in a loose, natural wave that gave her a fresh, carefree appearance.
However, a very straight and sleek version of the bob didnāt have the same effect. That look appeared more rigid and made her seem older. That photo was taken back in 2020.
At a Cartier event in Dubai in January 2025, Monica stepped out with yet another transformation.
This time, she went from dark brown to a rich dark blonde. The lighter color made her look more youthful, but at the same time, it softened her usual mysterious allure, making her appearance a bit more everyday.
Even with a glamorous black Balenciaga dress, shimmering lace, an elegant diamond necklace from Cartier, and a matching clutch, the lighter hair didnāt bring back that bold impact she once had.
Hair color really changes how a person is perceived. With her new blonde shade, Monica looks like a different person. But would you guess sheās 60? Does she still look like herself? And do you think this is what aging naturally looks like?
What do you think ā do Victoria and Monica look better with their classic styles, or are their new looks a step in the right direction? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
