Celebrities often opt for frequent image makeovers, and Jennifer Love Hewitt is no exception.
The actress, known for her roles in "I Know What They Did Last Summer" and "Party of Five," recently unveiled a dramatic hair transformation that left her nearly unrecognizable, eliciting both praise and criticism on social media.
In a bid to embrace the new season as summer transitions to autumn in the United States, Love Hewitt sought the expertise of her personal stylist for a significant change. The actress not only altered her hair color but also embraced the trending bob haircut. While some applauded her daring choice, reminiscing about her early media appearances with a similar look, others were quick to criticize her audacity.
Jennifer Love Hewitt took to Instagram to share a side-by-side comparison of her long, wavy blonde locks before the transformation and the chic tan bob after. Expressing her enthusiasm for the change, she captioned the post, "Before and after! Ready for fall." Her hairstylist and colorist, Nikki, documented the process on her social media, and Love Hewitt blew a kiss to the camera, stating, "It was time to bring things to life," according to Nikki.
The immediate response from followers flooded the comments section, with celebrities like Jodie Sweetin praising the actress, saying, "Beautiful!! @jenniferlovehewitt This cut and color look amazing," and Amanda Kloots expressing her admiration with, "I love it! Awesome."
However, not all reactions were positive, and some followers suggested that beyond the haircut, Jennifer Love Hewitt may have undergone plastic surgery. Criticisms about changes in her face, including her nose, eyebrows, and lips, were voiced. Comments on Twitter echoed the sentiment, with some fans expressing disbelief and others questioning if the transformation was indeed Jennifer Love Hewitt.
This is not the first time Hewitt has faced public scrutiny. Earlier in the year, on her 44th birthday, she shared a makeup-free selfie, expressing gratitude but also acknowledging occasional insecurity about the passage of time. In 2021, after giving birth to her third child, she took a hiatus from social media to focus on self-care and family, emphasizing the negative impact and pressure exerted by these platforms.
In a candid social media post, Hewitt explained her need for a restart, highlighting the importance of exercise, breathing, manifesting, and quality time with her family. She shared these personal struggles to connect with others who might be experiencing similar challenges and emphasized the value of taking time off for self-improvement and well-being.
