Paloma Faith was unrecognisable as she ditched her blonde locks in an epic red hair transformation.
The 42-year-old singer rocked brand new red locks at British Vogue's Forces For Change in London, and finished off her look with a black crepe dress and bronze gloves. Paloma also scrapped her signature red lip for more demure paired back make-up as she braved the chilly weather.
The singer and actress is best known for her bleach blonde hair, and has debuted different hairstyles over the years. Fans were smitten with her new fiery hair, as it signalled a throwback to the early days of her career when she had auburn tresses.

Paloma spoke of her heartbreak over the separation, and candidly revealed she and the French visual artist had broken up because they had kids.
“Our relationship ended because we have those children. And I think that was worth it,” she told the Independent. “In some ways, the breakup has left me broken but in other ways, I’m so whole. I am financially stable. I own my own house. I have children.”

She starred as villain Bet Sykes in HBO Max's Batman prequel series Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler, and then landed a role in Starz's period drama Dangerous Liaisons as Florence de Regnier.
The show was renewed for a second season shortly after it debuted in November last year, but the series was axed just one month later. The steamy show also starred Game of Thrones’ Carice van Houten, and Paloma filmed some of the sex scenes just months after giving birth to her second daughter.
Paloma was heartbroken after splitting from her husband“I think like most things in my life that are completely insane and absurd, I just use humour to get through them. So we had quite a laugh when we were doing intimacy scenes,” she told Digital Spy. “I was just breaking ice the whole time. That's how I get through everything.”
Paloma has already revealed she has opened up about the grieving process over the end of her relationship on her upcoming album, and said parting ways with the father of her children was “the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my life”.
“I feel like the whole album, when you go from start to finish, it's basically chronicling the stages of grief and it goes from the self destructive moments to the insular moments to the really vulnerable moments and actually the kind of unusual bits for me as a female artist are the empowered moments,” she told SheerLuxe.
