Carrie Bickmore unveils a dramatic new hair colour on The Project

Carrie Bickmore has traded in her blonde locks for a dramatic new look on The Project.

Carrie Bickmore is a lot of things.

As a host of The Project she appears on our TV screens almost every night providing us with smart and witty commentary on the day’s events. She’s also super generous, remember last week when she announced she’d raised more than $1 million for brain cancer? Yup, she’s a bloody good egg. And on top of all that she’s also a style icon – every year she turns out to the Logies looking a million bucks.

But tonight, in very exciting hair news, those who covet Carrie’s style might have had to do a double-take as the blonde media personality debuted brand new brunette locks.

Of her decision to trade in her signature light-coloured tresses Carrie said she was simply ready for a change.

“Do you know, I have the same colour hair for 35-years and I was bored and I thought, ‘Why not!'” Carrie explained. “I’m giving it a whirl.”

Carrie joked her son, Oliver was having some trouble adjusting.

“He keeps looking at me and going, ‘When’s old mummy coming back?'”

We love the Garnier Nutrisse ambassador’s new look but even if we didn’t, we don’t think Carrie would care.

Last year when the 35-year-old cut off her hair to a lob (long-bob) style she wrote a tongue and cheek post about not wanting honest feedback from her 300k strong Instagram followers.

“It’s been a week now of short hair/do care….so I don’t want your honest feedback,” wrote the mother-of-two.

Carrie has yet to post a picture of her new do on her Instagram but some fans have taken to commenting under her last post with mostly sweet notes of praise.

“A brunette bombshell!” wrote one.

“Your hair looks so stunning Carrie!!” wrote another.

Others took to Twitter to tell the Logie-winner they loved her new look.

So Carrie, while you are not your hair, we’ve never seen you with anything else so please excuse our momentary excitement. Now we will get on with loving your super-smart-brainy-self like we normally do.
