Though Ariana Madix hasn't made many dramatic changes to her hair over the years, she's still tried a slew of styles, from short bronde bobs to cotton candy pink buns. Additionally, the Vanderpump Rules cast member has gone all out with her costume choices on various occasions, often rocking bold wigs to match.

With Halloween approaching, we have one of Ariana's most memorable hair changes in mind.

Back in 2021, we were stunned to see Ariana wearing long black hair for Halloween, looking completely unlike herself with the vampy style. As it turns out, the sandwich shop co-owner was channeling iconic singer Cher's style for the "If I Could Turn Back Time" music video, which was released in 1989. 

In contrast to her typical sandy-blonde strands, Ariana stunned in the voluminous black curly wig which she paired with dramatic brows, thick lashes, and pale pink lips. 

Honestly? We think this is a stunning look on her!

In addition to the Cher-inspired look Ariana rocked for Halloween in 2021, she went for a dreamier, candy-colored vibe in 2020, with a light blonde frizzy bob wig she topped with an iridescent purple cowboy hat and a rainbow cloud photo filter. 

"You can have your space, cowboy," Ariana captioned the post, adding the hashtag "I got into the wigs."

In addition to her various wig styles, in the spring of 2020, Ariana embraced her natural hair color and showed off the bronde color in an April 2020 Instagram selfie. 

When a social media follower asked Ariana in the comments section, "Is that your natural hair color?" the California resident responded, "Yep naturally dirty blonde."

Then, after the release of her first book in December 2020, Ariana took on a slightly darker hue with a "money piece" in the front  — a.k.a., two lighter, face-framing strands in the front of her hair.

“It’s the money piece for me,” Ariana captioned an Instagram selfie of herself getting the new hair look via hairstylist Alysa Pace.

By the spring of 2023, ahead of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion, Ariana came in with an updated look: an icy, bright blonde color with a sleek straight cut that hit just above her shoulders. The Single AF Cocktails author also had an unforgettable red dress that exposed her abs to match her smoldering hairstyle.
