Ice Spice, renowned for her signature fiery hair hues, has always graced us with either a velvety auburn or a radiant orange mane, a distinctive mark that has become synonymous with her. But now, the music maven has stunned her legion of fans by taking a dramatic turn, bidding adieu to her iconic color palette and embracing a bold, striking black locks.
Unveiling her dramatic transformation at the prestigious Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Ice Spice dazzled in her signature tight curls, now shrouded in a rich, midnight shade. While her hair may have lost its vibrant tones, she made up for it in spades with an ensemble that screamed 'Ice Spice'—a sheer, negligee-inspired minidress that subtly hinted at a thong beneath, paired with a bright pink, fuzzy fur coat and towering baby pink lace-up platform boots. Adding a playful touch, she clutched a pink handbag adorned with a bow, completing the look with her signature flair.
This momentous occasion marks a pivotal shift for Ice Spice, as it's the first time she's parted ways with her orange hair since her meteoric rise to fame years ago. In a candid chat with Kiss Fresh earlier this year, the rapper revealed her affection for her signature ginger locks. "Growing up, I've experimented with blonde, brown, and black, but ginger? It just spoke to me. I'm kind of hooked on it now, and I'm glad it's a color I genuinely love. It complements so many things and adds a touch of cuteness," she shared.
However, it seems the allure of her natural hair color has finally called her back, as she dons her natural black locks once more—a sight only previously glimpsed in an old yearbook photo she proudly displayed during an MTV interview. What remains constant, though, is her embrace of her natural curly texture, which she began to cherish during her high school days.
"My dad was instrumental in helping me love my curls. He would constantly remind me, 'They're beautiful, you're beautiful, wear your natural hair with pride,'" Ice Spice divulged to Interview Magazine. "I used to straighten my hair incessantly, trying to hide my curls, but he showed me the beauty in embracing them."
Speaking to British Vogue, she further emphasized her journey with hair, noting that despite her penchant for change, her heart always returns to her natural curls. "Each time I switch up my hairdo, I feel like I transform into a different person. I've tried curly wigs, straight wigs, short, long, braids, swoops—the gamut. But in the end, I always find myself back at square one, loving my natural curls," she confessed, highlighting the enduring charm of her authentic self.
