Ellen has been embracing all sorts of new lifestyle changes since moving from America to England in 2024 with her wife, Portia de Rossi. One of those changes is her hair color.
Although she doesn’t post many pictures and videos from her life in England, the comedian recently posted an Instagram video of her and her wife enjoying Billie Eilish’s O2 Arena performance in London. In the video, she’s sporting her new dark brown, short hair, which is very different from the light blonde locks she wore for years. It’s hard to imagine Ellen without her blonde hair, but ever since picking up and moving her life, she’s seemingly decided to switch things up totally. Fans couldn’t get over not only how different she looked, but also how much happier she and Portia looked. Read more about the concert video and her hair transformation below.
Ellen Sports Dark Brown Hair During Billie Eilish's London Concert In A Recent Instagram Video
Earlier this month, pop singer Billie Eilish played two packed shows at the O2 Arena in London, England for "Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour," and two special audience members in attendance were the daytime talk show host and her comedic actress wife.
Although years ago, they may have caught a Billie show in Los Angeles, the couple has been residing in the Cotswolds region of England, where they moved to in 2024. Several rumors regarding the reason for their move have been circling social media, one being that they wanted to leave America after Donald Trump was re-elected as president, another being that Ellen wanted to get out of dodge after herself and her successful, long-running talk show were both 'canceled.'
While they may be in the middle of choosing a new countryside home, the 67-year-old and her wife seem very content in England, still getting to experience some fun pop culture moments despite living in a rural farmhouse. To celebrate Billie's impressive London performance, Ellen shared a video of herself and Portia in the crowd, where her new dark brown locks were seen.
Since moving to the UK, fans have spotted the comedian's dark hair in silly farming-related videos. They couldn't get over how different she looked, given she was well known for her light blonde pixie cut, a specific style that some beauty enthusiasts dubbed "The Ellen."

Fans React To Ellen's Dark Hair And Concert Footage In The Comments
The Louisiana native's post quickly went viral, especially after she wrote a heartfelt message about the Grammy-winning vocalist in the caption, mentioning her talk show, which ran for an impressive 19 years.
"From her first performance on my show, to the O2 in London," she wrote. "@billieeilish is amazing!"
Once the video went up, fans began flooding the comments section, but not all of their messages were related to Billie's impressive performance. They were about the television personality's intense transformation and how they feel about her new life outside of the United States.
"[I've] never seen Ellen with dark hair!" wrote a surprised follower.
"It's so nice to see you," added another supportive fan. "Always looking so beautiful."
Other commenters sent messages about how happy Ellen and Portia looked, enjoying the show in London, and sent them well wishes from different countries.
"You both look happy!" wrote a fan.
"Seeing you there makes me happy," added another.
"We miss you both!" commented a user.
It's unclear if the award-winning host and her actress partner will ever return to the United States. But with a new house in the works and a dramatic new hairstyle to go with it, it looks like she's content with starting over in England.
