Ella Hooper shocked fans on Wednesday night when she debuted her stunning new look at the 2024 ARIA Awards at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.
The Killing Heidi singer, 41, has said goodbye to the colourful dreadlocked hair and striking make-up palettes she had in the early 2000s and now rocks a more refined look.
The Mascara hitmaker, who is presenting at the ceremony, turned heads as she rocked her best angles on the red carpet.
Ella exuded confidence and style as she showcased her stunning new look, in which she now wears her long brunette hair elegantly styled around her shoulders.
She added a unique touch by dyeing the tips bleach blonde.
However, she still wore the same cheeky grin that she had when her band Killing Heidi rose to fame in 1999.
