Selena Gomez‘s recent Instagram post caught a lot of people’s attention after she showed off a surprising red hair transformation.

The pop star decided to share a ‘photo dump’ on the social media platform where she published a few behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of the upcoming season of Only Murders In The Building. Right at the end, she shared selfies of herself with a total hair transformation, a red, curly bob that looked a lot different from her signature jet black locks. Some of her fans loved the look on her face, with others comparing her to fellow celebrities. Read more about her selfies below.

Selena Gomez Posts Selfies Of Herself With Red Hair On Instagram

It's been a busy year for the Wizards of Waverly Place star, who has been working on new music with her new husband, Benny Blanco, releasing products for her viral beauty brand, Rare Beauty, and filming the Emmy-winning show she stars in, Only Murders In The Building.

 

On her social media profiles, she seemingly enjoys sharing some snippets of what her life is like when she's filming the popular crime-comedy series. Right now, Selena and the other cast members, like Martin Short and Steve Martin, are filming the sixth season in London, marking a shift from the first five seasons.

 

In a carousel of Instagram images posted last week, captioned, "Wild things happening with @onlymurdershulu while adoring London," she finished it with two selfies of herself with a curly, red wig. The hairstyle was reminiscent of a long bob, and the hair was a more auburn, red color, which is quite different from her black, wispy bob, her signature look.

Fans React To Selena's Look On In The Comments Section & Compare Her To Vanessa Hudgens

After her post was up, a lot of attention was paid to the pop singer's hair in the last two slides, as it was starkly different from how her hair typically looks.

 

In the comment section, pop culture lovers and fans alike began sharing their takes on how the cut and style looked on her, writing about how great they thought she looked, how excited they were for the upcoming season, as well as how she reminded them of another star.

 

"Um, love the red!" commented a follower.

 

"Can't wait for this season!" added another.

 

"The red hair looks good on you!" one fan added.

 

"This orange hair?" asked another. "I need to know what's going on this season!"

 

One fan speculated that the hair switch-up made her look like Vanessa Hudgens, as another added that it reminded them of "Debby Ryan from Jessie." Either way, fans are curious what this hair color could mean for her series character and are waiting with anticipation.
