Danielle Cabral debuted a new, dark hair color on Sunday, and her fans and followers on Instagram are praising the look.
After debuting a deep chestnut shade last year, the 39-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who first joined the cast for its 13th season in 2023, garnered comparisons to both Eva Longoria, 49, and Adriana LaCerva, a character on The Sopranos played by Drea de Matteo, 53.
“Big Hair Glammm,” hairstylist Kevin Kelly, of the Kevin Kelly Salon in Keyport, New Jersey, wrote in the caption of a joint post with Danielle on January 19, which featured Danielle showing off her new long, dark hair in a black zip-up and fur jacket.
“Yes! Slayed this,” Danielle replied in a comment.
Melissa Gorga, 45, also weighed in, naming Danielle, “Carmelaaaaaa.”
Other commenters on the post applauded Danielle’s hair color, saying she looked “gorgeous” as they compared her to Eva.
“Legit thought this was Eva Longoria at first. Raven-haired beauty!” one person wrote.
“Darker hair suits you, I thought I was looking at Eva Longoria,” another agreed.
Meanwhile, a third said, “It’s giving the brunette Adriana LaCerva.”
Then, as more wrote about how they “absolutely loved” Danielle’s dark brown hair, some pointed out that Danielle should’ve always been a brunette.
“Gorgeous, you look better with dark hair,” someone wrote.
“Okkkkk you better never go back blonde. You are meant to be a brunette,” another declared.
As for the future of RHONJ, which was put on pause after its 14th season last year, Danielle appeared on an August 2024 episode of Off the Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe, where she admitted her potential role on season 15 was up in the air.
“I don’t know if I could handle another season with what I want through this year with some people, but if we can get back to the [RHONJ] that I love, I could do that all day,” she shared. “Catty I can do all day. Evil and twisted and trying to ruin my name and my brand and my children’s future, I don’t sign up for that. That’s different. Way dark. That’s the problem with my show this season.”
