The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum debuted a bold new look on an episode of 'Love Island USA.'

Ariana Madix is now a brunette.

In an Instagram post on Friday, June 13, the Vanderpump Rules alum shared a video of her new look while promoting season 7 episode 9 of Love Island USA, which she hosts.

"Moment On The Dark Side" read the video's caption, which was a joint post between Madix and members of her styling team.

In the episode, Madix, 39, stepped out in a long brunette Italiya wig that was parted down the middle and styled in a curly blowout by Carl Bembridge. The look is a drastic change from her signature blonde locks.

The Love Island USA host donned smokey eyeshadow that was blended to her crease with a shimmery bronze shade patted on her eyelids. She paired the shadow, done by makeup artist Krystal Dawn, with long, wispy eyelashes and black liner in her waterline, making her green eyes pop. The rest of her makeup featured dewy foundation, contoured and blushed cheeks, filled-in eyebrows and glossy, nude lips.

Madix's bold hair and makeup were complemented by a bright red ensemble, styled by Emily Men. Playing into her bombshell look, she wore a cherry red outfit featuring a push-up corset, thick chokers — including a ball gag design — a voluminous cape and platform heels.

 

Fans weren't the only ones stunned by Madix's new look. Fellow Bravo stars took to the comment section to share their thoughts on her transformation.
