Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli is now the spitting image of her mom’s Full House character Aunt Becky, after she dyed her hair red in an attempt to look like the beloved role.
Olivia Jade, 22, revealed via YouTube on Wednesday that she had switched her normally brown locks for a bright red hairstyle instead, after she was inspired by her mom’s former character.
As part of her weekly vlogs, she documented herself getting the new ‘do. She began by showing herself sitting in the hair salon before revealing her ‘inspo’ for the look.
‘This is the inspo – my mom,’ she told the camera, while pulling up a photo of Aunt Becky on her phone.
The video then cut to her washing out the dye and getting her hair blown out before she showed off the final results – auburn-colored hair which made her look strikingly similar to the Full House character.

‘This is the inspo – my mom,’ she told the camera, while pulling up a photo of Aunt Becky on her phone
‘She has very red hair,’ she said in the vlog while surveying her new style. ‘I really like it though.’
She then concluded with a message to her mom.
‘I did not tell anyone in my family, except my sister, that I was doing this. I don’t know if anyone watches my stuff but mom – please don’t get mad at me,’ she joked. ‘Technically, you did it first.’
While debuting the change on Instagram, the YouTuber also shared a screenshot of her mom’s reaction.
After Olivia Jade sent the actress a snap of her new hair, Lori, 57, replied with an old pic of herself from Full House to show how similar they looked.
‘Well that’s a bit creepy now isn’t it? Haha!’ Olivia Jade then replied, in awe of the resemblance.
In March 2019, news broke that Lori and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 58, had paid $500,000 to get their two daughters – Olivia Jade and her sister Bella Rose Giannulli, 23 – enrolled at the University of Southern California.
They had their daughters listed as recruits for the school’s crew team, despite neither of them ever participating in the sport.

Lori plead guilty to the charges and served two months behind bars – being released in December 2020.
She also was ordered to pay a $150,000 fine and serve 100 hours of community service.
Her husband was in jail for five months and had to pay a $250,000 fine and complete 250 hours of community service. He was released in April 2021.
At the time, Olivia Jade faced furious backlash too, over a resurfaced video in which she admitted that she ‘didn’t really care about school’ and only wanted to go for football games and parties.
The influencer then took a break from YouTube, but returned in January 2021 after a one-year hiatus.
Now, she posts weekly vlogs documenting her daily life, and has racked up more than 1.8 million subscribers on the platform.

In March 2019, Lori and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli (pictured outside court in 2019), were arrested after news broke that they had paid $500,000 to get their two daughters into college
Olivia Jade (pictured with Lori in 2018) later claimed that seeing people ‘drag’ her mother online was the hardest part of the whole ordeal
Olivia Jade, who competed on Dancing With the Stars last year, spoke out about her mom’s arrest on her podcast in November 2021, and she revealed that seeing people ‘drag’ her mother online was the hardest part of the whole ordeal.
‘I’m not trying to justify or excuse behavior or throw a pity party,’ she began.
‘I think for me, even though I also was getting dragged negatively, it didn’t nearly affect me as much as seeing mom getting [dragged]. She really took this whole thing on her back solely.
‘There were a lot of people who were in this case and I do no know one other person’s name.
‘When you see your mom, who has raised you and been the most incredible mother in the world and also has the kindest heart – that was really hard for me.
‘It was frustrating and it would cause a lot of anger inside myself. Reading stuff about myself didn’t effect me nearly as much as reading stuff about our mom did.’
