Photos of Katherine Heigl as a Brunette

Do You Prefer Katherine Heigl as a Blonde or Brunette?

July 17, 2009

It's rare to see Katherine Heigl stray from her platinum-blond locks, although she went dark blond for her role in 27 Dresses. At last night's premiere of The Ugly Truth, Katherine gave us a surprise, debuting a new brunette shade with subdued red undertones. What do you think of her new look? Does she work as a sassy brunette, or do you think she should stick to her signature blond color that we've all grown accustomed to over the years?

I said blond because it looks great... and because that shade of "brunette" is allllll wrong!

I'd say the blonde makes her look old-I like the brown better. Dieing for more fashion? Urbanrunwayready.blogspot.com

I don't think this blonde photo of her is very good, but she looks better as a blonde...brunette looks weird on her.

It would look really good brunette in a darker hue with some golden highlights.

I think she looks softer, younger, and more approachable as a brunette, but more glamorous in the Hollywood sense as a blonde. I voted blonde as brunette tends to draw color out of her face. However that photo isn't the best example of blonde hair on her, the color is uneven. Really, she's gorgeous no matter what her hair looks like.

i like the blonde here, but i think she would look good as a brunette since i believe its more natural on her.

Very cute both ways! I get a Mandy Moore vibe from the brown hair here- might be the similarity of the transition, but I think it also has to do with the similarity of the look!

Wow I just dyed my hair almost the exact same color brown after being blonde. I can't decide which one I like on her.I think she can pull off both looks well though. The blonde is more sexpot while the brunette is a bit more girl-next-door. I'd like to see it down to get a better idea of what it looks like. I wonder why she did it, a new role?

i liked her best in my father the hero where her hair was naturally sandy blond with highlights and her skin was a deep golden color. perfect combo for her.

what I think is really wierd is that when she has her hair down (especially in loose curls like in The Ugly Truth trailer) the blond is better; but when she has it pulled back or even in a ponytail the brunette really warms her features and looks so much better. I don't reall like her, but I think she can pull off either...

I feel like this is foolery - I like the blonde in those pictures but the other darker pic is not brunette. More like auburn and I think she would look great w. truly borwn hair as well.
