Real Housewives of Orange County” star Emily Simpson decided to give herself a bit of a makeover before ringing in 2025. The reality star chopped her hair off, opting for a voluminous lob.
“Thank you to @riri_roya for always indulging my ever changing hair whims,” Simpson captioned an Instagram video on December 29. “I went to @riri_roya on Christmas Eve… just for a blowout, and came out with shorter, darker hair,” she added.
When a fan asked if Simpson “really cut her hair” or if she just opted for a wig, Simpson responded that she doesn’t “wear wigs.”
Emily Simpson Asked Her Instagram Followers What They Thought of Her New Look
In her post, Simpson asked her Instagram followers if they liked her new look. The vast majority of fans absolutely loved the change and commented such on the post.
“It looks so pretty on you. Such a fresh and uplifting look! I absolutely love it!!” one person wrote.
“Loooove this!!! Rich 90s mom vibes for sure. And let’s be honest, you can pull off any look because you’re a gem from the inside,” someone else said.
“Absolutely nailed it!! You look fabulous and bonus..younger,” a third comment read.
“Love! Sexy and flattering! That volume is everything! Reminds me old Hollywood . The women then had amazing curves/figures and sexy hair styles,” a fourth Instagram user added.
Emily Simpson Underwent a Body Transformation in 2023
Before 2023 came to a close, Simpson showed off her 40-pound weight loss.
“Around age 42 I gained 40 pounds and it wasn’t until now (age 47) that I was able to finally get it off and feel like my old self again,” she captioned an Instagram post in September 2023.
“Just to be clear though… I rocked a bathing suit on TV for 5 years and never felt ugly or not confident in myself or my body. Not once. I am the strongest (mentally and physically) right now … at age 47 …and I will continue to improve myself daily. My only competition is Me,” she added.
Simpson adopted a healthy diet and exercise plan and included the weight loss drug Ozempic in her routine.
“I really neglected myself those four months that we were filming. I ate too much, drank too much, didn’t go to the gym, didn’t work out and I felt really down, really depressed, really dark when we finished filming,” she told Us Weekly in July 2023.
Simpson said that she used the drug — which is commonly known as semaglutide — to kickstart her journey.
“The thing that bothers me the most is that when people comment on the way that I look, they constantly say, ‘Ozempic, Ozempic.’ And it’s like, yes, I did use that nine months ago or however many months ago it was, but I don’t like that it discounts all the hard work I put in. I don’t care if you say that all you want, but at least gimme credit for seven days a week, getting up at 6 a.m. every morning and busting my butt in the gym every single day,” she shared.
