Britney Spears appears to be on a path to recovery following her recent drunk-driving case and the ensuing legal troubles. The 'Toxic' singer has collaborated with popular celebrity hairstylist and social media influencer Chris Appleton to debut a completely transformed look. In a newly posted selfie, Spears posed alongside Appleton, showcasing her new hairstyle.
Britney Spears Changes Hairstyle in Rare Update
The 42-year-old hairstylist Chris Appleton, known for his extensive work in the celebrity world, recently shared a rare selfie with the singer on social media. On June 1, he posted a heartfelt message about meeting Spears and having the opportunity to style her hair, calling it a dream come true.
In his post, Appleton wrote: "As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments. Never in a million years did I think I'd one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair." Referring to the 'Gimme More' singer, he added: "She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I've ever met." He described the moment as "coming full circle."
In the photo, Spears sported straight blonde hair with a middle parting, a departure from her usual wavy locks. She held multiple curling irons and other hair-styling tools while sticking out her tongue beside the hairstylist.
Chris Appleton's Longstanding Wish to Style Britney Spears
Appleton has repeatedly expressed his desire to work with Britney Spears. Last year, when a fan commented that Spears needed a makeover and that Appleton should collaborate with her, he could not contain his excitement. In his reply, he wrote: "I'd so be down to do Britney, but you know what? If I was going to do her hair, it wouldn't just be like a little touch-up thing. It would have to be like a whole revamp. I feel like she's been through enough. She deserves some big, major comeback hair."
