Ever since Margaret Josephs joined The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2017, we've always known her as an icy platinum blonde. In fact, we don't remember seeing her with any other color hair. At one point, however, Margaret tried on a new look for size: long black tresses. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

In October 2020, Margaret and her husband, Joe Benigno, dressed up as Morticia and Gomez Addams for Halloween and looked incredible. For her costume, Margaret rocked a black curve-hugging dress with a mermaid silhouette and a head of black luscious locks. To boot, the New Jersey resident carried a bouquet of red roses and wore gothic-inspired makeup with bright red lips. 

“They’re creepy and they’re kooky…” she captioned the Instagram post, where Joe also looked dapper in a pinstripe suit and dark mustache. 

Multiple Bravolebrities took to Margaret's comment section at the time, with Shahs of Sunset’s Mercedes “MJ” Javid calling it “epic” to Summer House alum Hannah Berner writing, “Wow you guys win.”

Back in 2019, Margaret played around with hair color again while attending the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Love Ball. For the glamorous occasion, Margaret rocked a jaw-dropping sparkly gold dress with a halter neck and mermaid silhouette. She also rocked a hot pink updo, making us do a double-take.

"Already having the night of my dreams!" Margaret captioned an Instagram photo of her look. 

"I'm going to the Love Ball, the theme is red and pink all over, so my hair is pink," Margaret shared on her Instagram Stories that evening.

Margaret Josephs' Past Hairstyles

The businesswoman seems to be wearing a short bob with bangs these days, but in the past she often rocked two very distinct hairstyles: low pigtails and high ponies. 

“I still do the pigtails, but my hair is very short right now,” Margaret shared in the video you can watch above, further explaining why she was keen on rocking the look. 

“People love the pigtails,” she stated. “They’re charming [and] disarming. I’d go into a business meeting, people would underestimate me, and then you can take over.”

Moreover, in 2019, Margaret discussed her "power pony" hairstyle, which achieved an "instant facelift" affect. 

"I need the instant facelift because my face used to hang on the ground, but [my hairstylist] Julius made me realize I needed a real facelift," Margaret shared at the time, referring to her 2019 facelift procedure
