Emma has long been dyeing her hair a beautiful shade of red for her role as one of The Wiggles, though sheโ€™s previously revealed herself to be a natural blonde.

In an Instagram post uploaded in September 2021, fans caught a glimpse of what her hair could look like naturally, when Emma sported a platinum blonde bob and dressed up as Iris Apfel.

Posing in an eclectic outfit, Emma captioned her homage to the fashion icon: โ€œTo Iris with love.โ€

The post had Emmaโ€™s followers doing a double-take, with the star expertly channeling Irisโ€™ energy.

The interior designer and fashion icon โ€“ whose catchphrase is โ€˜more is more and less is a boreโ€™ โ€“ celebrated her 100th birthday in August 2021.

True to form, Iris celebrated her big day with a fittingly over-the-top photo, sitting in the centre of a sea of balloons. Donning a dramatic polka-dot frock, plenty of jewellery and her signature oversized glasses, she looked every bit the birthday girl in her happy post.

Itโ€™s not the first time The Wiggles star Emma has had fans wigging out, previously sharing glimpses of her natural blonde hair on Instagram.

Sheโ€™s shared a few throwback posts of herself over the years, revealing a mop of blonde curls in her younger years.

This photo of Emma in her Irish dancing outfit had fans freaking out, with one commenting: โ€œI always forget that Emma is a natural blonde, I was genuinely shocked when I found out!โ€

Meanwhile, the star had fans in a tizzy when she shared a new video wearing a straight blonde wig in July.

Dancing to Janet Jacksonโ€™s Runaway in an eye-catching video, Emmaโ€™s fans were blown away by her new look.

โ€œOmg I love you as a blonde!โ€ wrote one, with another adding: โ€œI love blonde @emmawatkinsofficial almost as much as my baby girl loves redhead Emma.โ€
